A red mailbox with Christmas decor on it

Santa's Mailbox

Santa's Mailbox is back at the Kirksey Recreation Center again this holiday season! Drop off a letter in the magical mailbox any day until Sunday, Dec. 7, and we'll make sure it gets delivered in time for a response before Christmas!

There is no cost to mail Santa these letters, and you do not need to have a membership to The Rec, but make sure the child's name and address are on the letter to Santa so he can get a response to the correct location.

Find this event on Facebook today.
