Santa is making his list, and checking it twice

For the first time ever, Santa's elves, with the help of the Moraga Parks and Recreation Department, have placed a bright red North Pole Mailbox in Moraga Commons Park just waiting to be filled with letters from kids to Santa. The mailbox is located near the giant Holiday Tree by the playground.
Santa wants each child to let him know what they'd like for Christmas, and he would like everyone to tell him a little bit about themselves. But, the magic doesn't stop there. Those children who mail a letter (in an envelope) to Santa, and include a return address, will receive a reply letter a few days before Christmas.
Santa expects to hear from 250 Lamorinda children this year, and he wants to remind everyone that the deadline to mail a letter to Santa is Dec. 17. At the stroke of 5 p.m., his most trusted elves will come out of hiding and whisk the mailbox back to the North Pole. Ho-Ho-Ho!!!
