Final week for letters to Santa!

Friday, December 20 has been announced as the “official” last day for letters to Santa Claus to reach him at the North Pole in time for a response. Manchester’s Santa Mailbox is located near the entrance to the Shoppes at Alber Mill in downtown Manchester.

Santa is very busy at this time of year, of course, but he has scheduled one last visit to Manchester on the porch of the Mill one last time on Saturday, December 21. Because of this, Santa has let us know he will extend the deadline until December 21, so if children want to send a last minute letter, he will definitely read it but his response may be delayed until after Christmas due to the post office being closed on Sunday.

Remember, if you want a response from Santa Claus, he will need your full name and address (including a PO Box if you have one!) Merry Christmas to all!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
