Get Letters, Calls From Santa In Metuchen This Holiday Season

METUCHEN, NJ — The Metuchen Recreation Department is offering a helping hand to parents who want to make sure their children's letters reach Santa Claus in time to get a reply.

Santa reads every letter, and his elves at the Recreation Department answer each one of them.

Have the child write a letter to Santa, and place it in the special Santa Express Mailbox, located at Boro Hall, 500 Main Street, before Dec. 13.

Make sure the child’s name and return address are legible in the letter and envelope.

Additionally, Santa will take time to call children in the Borough to say hello and wish them a Merry Christmas.

To make the call happen, fill out a registration form from the Recreation Department and drop it off at the Senior Center, at 15 Street by Dec. 16. Click here for details.

Santa will be making calls to all Metuchen children on Dec. 18.
