You probably know that if you want to send a letter to Santa Claus, you need to send it to the North Pole. But what about Ježíšek? Do you know how to address your Christmas wish list letter to make sure it reaches Baby Jesus? If not, don’t despair. We have done the research and found out Ježíšek’s address. All children are welcome to ask for the perfect Christmas presents by sending a letter to:
Vánoční pošta
362 62 Boží Dar
Czech Republic
Boží Dar is a town in the Krušné Hory Mountains. It is the highest located town in Central Europe and its name means “God’s Gift”, so it is only natural that Baby Jesus should chose this place to receive his mail. If you would like to send him a last minute letter, make sure it is delivered by December 22.
You can read more about mailing Ježíšek at Ježíškova pošta (in Czech).
Information about Ježíšek and Czech Christmas can be found on our Czech Christmas page.
Remember our 
December 5th is when Czechs celebrate the old tradition of St. Nicholas (Mikuláš). Last year, Jeff and I went to the Old Town Square in the evening and we were surprised to see so much action. Groups consisting of St. Nicholas, the Angel and the Devil (some wearing very impressive costumes) walked around the square, stopping to talk to little children who were there with their parents. The children, awe in their eyes, obediently sang songs and recited shy poems in exchange for sweets and praise. Foreign tourists with curious smiles on their faces and cameras in hand obviously enjoyed being in the midst of this peculiar Czech pre-Christmas tradition. It was all cute and a lot more fun than I had anticipated.
