The North Pole Express mailbox returns to Old Bedford School, where kids can drop off their letters to Santa.
Santa writes back to every letter he can, so kids should put their name and return address on the envelope if they want a reply.
Parent tip: Mail early in the window so Santa’s reply has time to arrive before Christmas. The last day to drop off is December 11.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
