In an enchanting holiday initiative, children are given the chance to connect directly with Santa Claus through the “Letters to Santa” program. The Birth to Five Illinois Region 28 features several dedicated mailboxes where kids can drop their wish lists and letters. To guarantee a reply from the jolly man in red, ensure the child’s name and address are clearly written. For those unable to visit these magical locations, the United States Postal Service offers a similarly spirited option through its Operation Santa program at https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/. More details on how to participate are available on their website, ensuring every child can share their Christmas dreams with Santa, no matter where they are.
