‘Tis the season for Southwest Florida children to make their Christmas lists and state their case on whether they’ve been naughty or nice this year.
Now through Nov. 28, boys and girls across Southwest Florida can write their letters to Santa at any Sunshine Ace Hardware store to be sent to the North Pole. Sunshine Ace Hardware has a designated mailbox at each retail location for letters bound for Santa’s home.
“Through our Letters to Santa program, we’ll be sending messages directly to Santa’s home at the North Pole, and he has promised that he’ll respond to every letter,” said Sunshine Ace Hardware President Michael Wynn. “Santa is already getting busy, but he still has time to look through each letter and decide who’s been naughty or nice and pick out special gifts for a magical Christmas morning.”
Parents can bring their children to the following stores during regular business hours to write and send Letters to Santa:
