Peyton and Ryland McMillion were first to mail their letters to Santa at the San Manuel Miner.
Siblings Peyton (2) and Ryland (3) McMillion are ready for Santa and came to work with their dad just so they could write their letters to Santa with with Christmas wishes.
They are the children of Chris and Leanne of Red Rock. Dad works at Dub’s Plumbing in Oracle and is a volunteer firefighter with San Manuel Fire Department. Peyton is crazy for anything Minnie Mouse and knows that Santa will pick out the best Minnie Mouse thing for her. Ryland, who is all boy, wants Stinky the Garbage Truck (but he wouldn’t say no to a fire truck or a dump truck or a monster semi truck or …).
Tri-Community children can mail their wishes to Santa in the special mailboxes that can be found throughout the area. In Mammoth, head over to La Casita Restaurant. In Oracle, the box is located at Oracle Patio Cafe and Market. San Manuel children can leave their letters at the box at the San Manuel Library.
Santa has also set up a special email address if you want to send your wishes to him electronically. The email address is santa@minersunbasin.com. And please when emailing include the town where you live so that your letter can be published in the right newspaper.
This year, Mr. Claus has given us permission to accept letters through our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/CopperArea). Just send us a private message (PM) with your child’s letter to Santa. Please be sure to include the town where you live so we can publish it in the right newspaper.
Hurry and get your letters in quickly so they can be forwarded to the North Pole in plenty of time for the big day. The deadline to mail letters in Santa’s special mailbox is Dec. 16. Santa needs time to get all the requests fulfilled.
Letters will be published on Dec. 21.
