Sunshine Ace Hardware is helping Southwest Florida children share their Christmas wishes with Santa this season. Now through Nov. 28, children can visit any Sunshine Ace Hardware store to write and send their letters to the North Pole.
"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."
The following locations feature a special mailbox for kids to drop off their messages to Santa.
