Letters to Santa

November 5, 2025

November 30-December 13

Santa’s Workshop outdoor mailbox (8305 Park View Blvd.)
La Vista Public Library indoor mailbox (9110 Giles Rd.)

Have you been good this year? Let Santa know. Write a letter and send it off to the North Pole. If you drop off a letter by December 13, you’ll get a response mailed back before Christmas.

You can ask Santa questions, share a story, draw a picture or just let him know what gifts are on your wishlist this year.

Drop your letters in one of the special mailboxes at Santa’s Workshop or at the Library. (No postage needed.) Be sure to include your name and return address so Santa knows where to send his reply.
