SANTA’S
MAILBAG
We are organizing a very special
Air Mail to the North Pole because
we know that Santa reads and gets
gift ideas from The WORLD, too.
Any child who would like to write a
personal letter to Santa, may do
so in The WORLD. Please include
your name and age. Letters must be
received by 5pm on Dec. 14
Send your letters to:
Dear Santa, c/o The WORLD
