Our first Red Phone caller of the week, a young Hollister girl,
asked the Crimson Crusader what Santa Claus’ address is at the
North Pole. This is a very important question. The Crimson Crusader
did some digging and found out. First of all, postal workers know
that any letter addressed to Santa Claus goes to the North Pole, so
the address isn’t all that important. What is important, dear
caller, is making sure you put a return address on your letter.
That way, Santa will be able to respond.

For the millions of adults who help make Santa’s job easier each Christmas, the address is much more important. Adults can compose a Santa reply, put it in a stamped, self-addressed envelope and place that into a larger envelope and mail to North Pole Cancellation, Postmaster, 5400 Mail Trail, Fairbanks, AK 99709-9999. The postal service recommends getting items to Fairbanks by Tuesday Dec. 12. This also works to get cards stamped with a North Pole cancellation mark, but don’t forget to put postage stamps on the envelopes and then place them in a larger box, package or envelope. Letters may also be mailed to Santa at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, according to one elf the Crimson Crusader spoke with on Friday. Such letters should be sent to Santa’s Mailbag, 354 OSS/OSW, 1215 Flight Line Ave., Ste. 100B, Eielson Air Force Base, AK 99702-1520.
Solicitors unwelcome
Our final Red Phone matter came from a local Hollister resident and frequent caller who asked the Crimson Crusader what could be done about the kind folks who come to her door asking to clean her carpet and trying to sell her various products. Our caller said she received three or four of this type of service sales people at her door in a few weeks’ time. The Crimson Crusader, unfortunately, cannot do anything to help. However, as a consumer and homeowner, there is at least one thing you can do. If you don’t want solicitors ringing your doorbell, try putting up a sign on your front door to that effect.
