The News-Herald is forwarding “Letters to Santa” for local children's Christmas wishes and printing those letters in a special section in the Dec. 23-24 weekend edition.

The deadline for all letters is 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7.

Most children will be writing those letters while in class at local schools, but we will accept letters at our 201 Simpson Road offices in Lenoir City by mail at P.O. Box 310, Lenoir City, TN 37771, or by e-mail at news@news-herald.net.

All letters become the property of the News-Herald and can't be returned. For more information, contact Managing Editor Elizabeth Trexler at 865-986-6581 or elizabeth.trexler@news-herald.net.
