Letters to Santa
“Every year, we bring out the letters to Santa mailbox. It came on Monday and it’ll be up until about December 20. We encourage kids when they’re down here shopping with their parents to bring their holiday wish lists, but to make sure they include their return address…because you know what? Santa is getting these letters and its magic elves are sending a personalized response to you in your own mailbox,” said Wood.
Along with their return address, kids should include their full name. But one thing not needed on the letter is a stamp…these messages are sent to the North Pole free of charge.
“We’ve had this out for close to ten years, I want to say. But it’s always chock full of letters every year,” said Wood.
It’s a tradition that the Downtown Naperville Alliance loves to continue each holiday season.
“The letters are so heartwarming that we receive, and it’s just a fun connection with Santa in the North Pole. So we’d like to bring it back year after year,” said Wood.
