ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) - With just four more sleeps until Christmas, kids who haven't sent their letters to Santa may be doing so online.  But be careful, there is a lot of information Old St. Nick doesn't need to know.

A quick search on Google "write to Santa online" gives you thousands of results.

Some sites are legitimate, like Canada Post's Santa's Corner. But Constable Ian MacDonald with Abbotsford Police has a warning for those taking the email route.  "If Santa has your first name and your email address that should be sufficient.  There is no need or requirement to give him personal information. He knows where you live.  He manages to find your house every year."

That means your address, phone number, information about your school, your parents or your family should be kept to yourself.
