Here is your reminder that the deadline approaches to mail a Santa letter to your child and get the North Pole postmark.

If you are sending the letters First Class Mail (the least expensive) then you should mail the letter by December 5th so that it can be received by December 9th to ensure that your child will receive their letter before Christmas. After that date, materials should be sent via Express Mail.
