    Do you have a special request for Santa? We've got you covered! Come to the Richmond branch and write Santa a letter to let him know you've been extra good this year, and don't forget to share with him your hopes for Christmas morning surprises! Remember to include your name, age and address to receive a letter back from the big guy in red! 

    Starting: November 18th until Saturday December 2nd, 2023. 

    Grown ups: we will be sending out the letters on December 4th so that they get to the North Pole by  December 7,2023-  that is the date the Elf Post Office closes for the season. .
