Kids Can Mail Their Letters To Santa At Bucks County Toy Store

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A Bucks County toy and gift store is offering express mail service to the North Pole for local kids hoping to get their wish lists to Santa.

Between now and Dec. 15, youngsters are invited to mail their letters to Santa at the Learning Express stores at the Village at Newtown Shopping Center (near Turning Point) and at
the Crossroads Plaza in Richboro.

Youngsters can either bring their letters to the store to mail or use the store’s pre-printed stationary and pen their letters in person at the store.

The letters will then be whisked away to Santa at the North Pole who will read and answer each one personally with the help of his elves from the Council Rock High School South Class of 2026.

“Every kid will get a personalized letter back from Santa,” said Tyler Moore, who owns the store with his wife, Alexa, and their two friends, Dan and Ashley. “There's no purchase required or charge - just something fun we thought would bring some smiles to kids and parents.

“We're also excited to involve the Council Rock South Class of 2026. They will be donning their elf hats as Santa’s little helpers to assist with responding to the letters.”

There is no charge for the letters, but donations are being accepted and will be given to the Class of 2026 Activities Fund.

“When we bought the toy stores back in July, this was exactly the type of thing that made me and my wife Alexa and our friends Dan and Ashley so motivated to buy a toy store,” said Tyler. “We’ve already started receiving letters and Santa has seen some wonderful stuff so far.”

Tyler, who spoke with Santa just the other day, said Santa has been thrilled by the response. “He’s received 40 letters so far. I’m told he’s already making his list and will soon be checking it twice,” said Tyler.

“He loves to hear from the kids and he’s excited to have a local toy store helping out,” said Tyler. “He’s also excited that the students at Council Rock are helping him facilitate the response."

Tyler said he remembers that when he was a kid his dad went outside one Christmas and found a leather strip of sleigh bells that he said had fallen from Santa's sleigh.

"Having that piece of Santa that we could touch and feel made the magic of it all that much more real for me and my siblings growing up. With these letters, we're hoping we can offer kids a similar experience," he said.

"There's no better reason for buying a couple toy stores than being in the business of making kids smile. And that's what this is for us really. Just something special we can offer to put a smile on a kid's face - help make the magic of Christmas that much more real for them."
