Santa writes back. Drop-off starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and runs through December 10 during the community center's business hours. The page asks families to print the child's name and address clearly on the letter. Letters can also be mailed to The View, 13500 Byars Rd, Grandview, MO 64030, attention Elves, and must be postmarked by December 8 so there is time for a reply. This is a mailbox, not a photo sitting and not a party. There is no stage show on this listing. Bring the letter already written, or plan to write it before you arrive, because the page does not mention paper or a writing table. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [Letters from Santa — Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/letters-from-santa-excelsior-springs-museum-and-archives--listing-3516b3f74f4d9c930ecd78b2) — Nov 21 – Dec 13 · Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives · checked Oct 27.
