Another Santa Letter Success
Our 'Letters to Santa' project was launched at the Hockley Christmas Lights switch-on and proved to be hugely popular with families looking to bring some festive cheer to youngsters. As in previous years, children received a handwritten letter and a magic Christmas Bell to keep safe until the big guy arrived on Christmas Eve.
We received some lovely feedback from parents of youngsters who posted a letter in our Christmas postbox box which has been situated outside our Hockley branch during the month. Here are a few comments from the recipients of the 127 letters we helped Santa reply to:
'A heartfelt thank you to Amos once again proving to be so kind and generous for our community. Not only do they arrange for Father Christmas to reply to letters - they went above and beyond mentioning our daughter's birthday yesterday and magically arranging for the Kind Elf to deliver Santa's reply on her birthday. You do so much for our Village with charity, bunting etc, Have a great Christmas Amos Estates you deserve it team Amos Hockley" Melissa
