LETTERS TO SANTA

Bust out the crayons, paints and pencils.

It’s time to pen a letter to Santa Claus.

And the 91Ô­´´ Advance Times is accepting letters to Santa for an upcoming Christmas publication so readers can enjoy the children’s wit and wisdom and charming art.

The offer is open to any child living in 91Ô­´´ Township or City or who attends school here.

The age range is from kindergarten to Grade 3.

There’s a few specifications:

– Please use plain white paper (no lines and no prepared art/letter forms).

– The kids can use crayon, pen, pencil, paint, felts, anything colourful.

– Please don’t correct spelling. That’s half the fun.

The letters must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 8, 2023. They can be dropped off at our office, 20258 Fraser Hwy. As well, a good quality cellphone photo, taken in natural light, is also acceptable. (Please include the child’s name, age, grade, and school.) The letters can be picked up after a few days if families want to keep them.

For students who do not celebrate Christmas, they can write and draw something else, such as about their most important celebration of the year and their favourite traditions within it, about their favourite activities this time of year, or something else uplifting.

Any questions? Contact reporter Heather Colpitts, 604-994-1052, or heather.colpitts@langleyadvancetimes.com
