Happy National Letter Writing Day!

Did you know that December 7th is National Letter Writing Day? Celebrate by writing a letter to a loved one or by choosing one of the activities below!

Letters to Santa: For over 100 years, the United States Postal Service has hosted Operation Santa, a program where families receive the opportunity “receive some extra magic this holiday season.” Children (with the help of their adults, of course) mail their wishlists to a special North Pole address. When USPS receives the letters, they are uploaded to their Operation Santa site, where anonymous samaritans can choose to “adopt” the families, sponsoring their holiday by sending gifts from the wishlists. If your family would like to send a letter to Santa, or if you would like to anonymously adopt a family this December, click this link

Note that these letters must be postmarked by December 12th, and the last day to adopt is December 19th. 

Letters to Your Future Self: Futureme.org is a website where you can write a letter to your future self via email! Just type out your message, choose a delivery date, and hit send! 

Send Virtual Cards to St. Jude Patients: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital invites you to send virtual cards to its patients. Click this link to choose a card design and write out a festive note. Your card will be delivered to a child at the hospital in time for the holidays!
