Dear Santa...The Bluffton Icon again has the inside track to your Christmas wishes. A special mailbox at the Bluffton Post Office accepts letters to Santa. The Icon will print all letters that are legible.

And, thanks to the digital age, The Icon will also accept e-mailed letters to Santa. Send them to [email protected]

Here's the first letter:

Dear Santa and Mrs. Claus.
I have been a very good girl this year. I'm doing really good in school and listening to my parents. I would really like a camera for Christmas this year. I hope you have a merry Christmas and a safe trip.

Love
Julia Mehaffie
