Letters to Santa can be dropped off in Mount Dora mailbox

Once again, Santa has taken note that historic Mount Dora is arguably the best little Christmas town in Florida.
 
Since 2019, elves have quietly delivered a bright red mailbox exclusively for letters to Santa in front of Linda and Jeanette Bokland’s cheerful purple cottage.  Kids can now drop their well-wishes, questions and requests to Santa in the customized mailbox starting today.  To accommodate the hundreds of letters from local children last year, dozens of local elves helped process the mail and this year is expected to be the same.

Since Saint Nick is busy supervising his mischievous elves before Christmas, Mrs. Claus will be personally replying to all letters that include a return address.  The red mailbox is located at 201 W. 11th Avenue .  No postage is necessary on the letters.

Meanwhile, Santa can be seen in Mount Dora during his annual tour across the City on November 29 and 30 and December 1 and 2.  The nightly tour routes are available here.  Santa will also be in downtown Mount Dora for photo ops on November 27 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m in Sunset Park near the musical Christmas tree.   Be sure to check out the city's impressive holiday lights at Mount Dora Marina and downtown's Donnelly Park.  Find other local holiday events here.
