Santa letters still accepted

By Melinda L. Lucas

Even though the original Dec. 2 deadline has passed, Santa letters will be accepted by The Albany News for a few more days.

Several local teachers have indicated that a large number of children have been out of school with flu, strep throat, and other illnesses during the last couple of weeks, so they are still gathering some letters and essays from their students.

The special section containing Santa letters and short compositions about Christmas, will be published Thursday, Dec. 22.
