Have you mailed your Santa letter yet? The Thomas B. Norton Public Library in Gulf Shores serves as an official mailing destination, but the deadline is quickly approaching.

Librarian Julie Maly said last year the library saw almost 50 Santa letters pass through the library but the letters have been slow to come in this year. Children who include their return address receive a return letter from Santa. It’s a wonderful way to see if Santa will tell you if you are on the nice or naughty list.

If you would like to write a letter to Santa it must be dropped off at the Thomas B. Norton Library by noon Dec. 17. The slow mail this year has even affected Santa. If you would like a response don’t forget to include your return address.
