Every year my kids write letter and mail them to Santa!  And every year, they get a letter in the mail from Santa.  It's something they have always done and have always looked forward to.  A few weeks ago they wrote letters at home and mailed them to Santa.

This past weekend we were at the mall and in front of Macy's they had a cute little area set up to write and mail letters to Santa.  The kids asked if they could write Santa another letter, of course they could!

So, they sat down and wrote another letter to Santa and then mailed it in the BIG red mailbox that was there.  My kids enjoyed it and in addition they helped make wishes come true, not only theirs!  (http://www.macysbelieve.com/#/PostOffice)  For every letter sent to Santa through Macy's, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make a Wish Foundation!
