(Michigan City, IN) - Children can start writing letters to Santa and dropping them off in his mailbox in Michigan City.

 

According to the city’s park department, which has a line of communication extending to the North Pole, a response from Santa’s helpers will be received by children on letters dropped into the mailbox at the entrance to Washington Park.

 

The deadline for placing letters in the mailbox is midnight on December 7.

 

No postage is necessary, park officials said.

 

There must be a return address on envelopes containing the letters, though,  to receive a response.
