THIS INFORMATION IS FOR PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND ADULTS ON HOW TO USE THE "LETTERS FOR SANTA" MAILBOX ON 60TH STREET AND MACCALL STREET, IN OAKLAND, CA.

IN ORDER TO HELP KEEP THE CHRISTMAS MAGIC ALIVE, PLEASE DON'T READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS ALOUD TO KIDDOS INTERESTED IN USING THE MAILBOX. 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. AT HOME, HAVE YOUR KIDDO MAKE A LETTER TO SANTA. IT CAN BE THEIR SECRET CHRISTMAS LIST, OR JUST A NOTE FOR SANTA TO READ OR RESPOND TO (YOU WILL BE THE ONE WHO "RESPONDS")

2. COME BY THE LETTERS FOR SANTA BOX, DAY OR NIGHT, AND HAVE YOUR KIDDO "MAIL" THEIR LETTER BY PUTTING IT INSIDE THE BOX. 

3. LATER, AND WITHOUT YOUR KIDDO WITH YOU, PLEASE COME BACK TO THE MAILBOX AND RETRIEVE THE LETTER. 

 

IT'S UP TO YOU HOW YOU DECIDE TO USE IT! WE, THE OWNERS OF THE MAILBOX, WILL NOT BE CHECKING OR READING LETTERS. THE MAILBOX DOES NOT LOCK, AND IS LEFT OUT OVER NIGHT. WE ENCOURAGE THE ADULTS TO COME BACK TO RETRIEVE LETTERS WITHIN THE SAME DAY.

THIS IS MEANT TO BE A FUN WAY TO KEEP THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT ALIVE! WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY OUR HOLIDAY TRADITION, AND WILL COME BACK ANYTIME! 

 

HO! HO! HO!

MERRILY YOURS,

THE HOLSINGER FAMILY
