Sending that letter to Santa used to mean pen, paper and some bad handwriting, but it's now moved into the interconnected wireless age.

Children (and adults!) at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent can email him using wireless broadband before meeting him in his grotto. BT have teamed up with the centre and while waiting in the queue, his helpers will pass around with laptops so you can mail him directly at father.christmas@bt.com.

This means that when dads who ask for a new Lamborghini Diablo, Santa's helpers will have time to rush out and get one before you sit on his knee!

On a side point his elves seem to have changed for the better!!
