Santa is hard at work LIGHTING UP GLEN ELLYN at this year's Virtual Holiday Walk

Letters To Santa Mailbox
Provided by Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce
Sponsored by Village of Glen Ellyn
New this year to downtown Glen Ellyn, children seeking to send their Christmas wishes to Santa Claus may drop them off at Glen Ellyn's very own Letters to Santa mailbox. The Santa mailbox is located on the northeast corner of Main Street and Crescent Boulevard.
Letters “mailed” by Friday, December 20 will receive a response from Santa, along with a signed photo, thanks to a special arrangement the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce and the Glen Ellyn Infant Welfare Society has made with the North Pole. Please make sure letters include a return address so that Santa can reply!
