The Record-Eagle is collecting letters to Santa for an upcoming story. We'd love to have actual letters, with all their cute spellings and handwriting, but we don't want to interfere with Santa's delivery either.
If your kids or grandkids have written to Santa this year, please let us in on their wishes. If you do send us the actual letter, we promise to send it back. If you want to just send us the text of the letter, that's fine, too.
And if you have a little letter-writer who might not be object to being photographed, let us know.
Send the letters to Jodee Taylor, 120 W. Front St., Traverse City MI 49684, or e-mail them to jtaylor@record-eagle.com.
We need them by Dec. 14. If you have questions, call 933-1511.
