Santa Replies in Large Print and Braille in Australia
For the first time, Large Text Replies are available in Australia for children with low vision. Braille replies are also available.
Santa has teamed up with T-Base Communications to respond in braille to children who are blind or low vision who send him a letter. If you or someone you know would like to send a wish list to Santa and receive a reply in braille, please mail a letter to him by Dec. 12. (If you send one after, he might not have enough time to respond before Dec. 25!)
