Thanks Koala for reminding us of that awesome program run by Canada Post.

The Santa Letter-writing Program brings joy to children from across Canada and around the world. In addition to giving many children their first introduction to letter writing, this program is also a very important part of the holiday season for thousands of Canada Post employees and retirees.

Currently, more than one million children write to Santa at his ‘NORTH POLE H0H 0H0’ address. Each letter that includes a return address receives a reply from Santa.

More than 11,000 current and retired Canada Post employees, affectionately called Postal Elves, help Santa to ensure that every child’s letter gets an answer in the language in which the letter was written, including Braille (emails are answered in English or French).

Encourage your children and students to write to Santa. It is a fun learning experience that helps teach kids how to write and send a letter. To ensure that children will receive a reply from Santa before Christmas, they should write as early as possible. Remember to include your return address. Teachers are urged to send their classroom letters by December 5.

Although Santa loves to receive letters and drawings, putting cookies and treats in your envelope is not a good idea as they will get crushed and damaged by the time they reach Santa. Santa much prefers to eat his treats on Christmas Eve, so please have your children save them at home for the big day!

Apparently you can now download content on Xbox Live that used to be given out with access codes.

This information was posted on Slickdeals.

Now that the marketplace is on the internet, and no longer confined to the 360, I think it is possible for everyone to download content that used to be given out with access codes. For example, I have the Call of Duty: World at War “Day 1 Tactical Edge” downloaded to my 360. I used a code from GameStop to get it. But, since the marketplace is available to everyone, everyone can download it!

• Call of Duty: World at War “Day 1 Tactical Edge
• Banjo-Kazooie: You can download the game before the official release date of Dec. 6th
• FirstWar Enlistment Pack: for EndWar game
• Cod4 Prestige picture pack
• Luminies Live – Heavenly Star Skin
• Breeze Skin
• Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle for Gears of War 2
• Gears of War 2 Theme (from gamestop)
  
• Test Drive Unlimited cars – Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe
• Pagani Zonda C12S Roadster + McLaren F1
  
• The Last Remnant preorder extras. Cost 100 mspoints (still, something you can’t get otherwise)
• Bungie Day ’07 Theme
• Bungie Day ’07 Picture Pack

Although I’m not personally a huge fan of firewalls – try hacking my laptop 😛 – I think if you’re a regular computer user having a reliable firewall can protect you from intruders and give you a peace of mind. Today (November 18, 2008) only, celebrating the software’s anniversary, you can download Zone Alarm Pro for free! A $39.95 value. ZoneAlarm is one of the most well known firewall products.
