The Icon, in cooperation with the Bluffton Post Office has a special Santa mail box in the post office lobby.
Drop your Santa letter off in the box. All letters will be delivered with care from the post office to The Icon. Then watch the Icon to see it posted. Since we know Santa Claus reads the Icon, he'll see your letter.
For anyone not able to get to the post office, we'll accept e-mail letters. Send them to: [email protected].
