The air is cold, the leaves have fallen, and the Flavel House is decorated for Christmas…traditionally, a night with Santa would be right around the corner, but this year, to keep Santa safe and healthy for his annual journey, we are doing things differently. The elves have delivered a mailbox located on the front porch of the Flavel House. Children are invited to drop their letter to Santa in the box between now until December 19^th. Then, return to visit the museum any day between December 21st and 23rd to pick up a special personalized stocking gift from the big man himself. Merry Christmas and Stay Santa Safe.

Our friends at Providence Seaside Hospital and Kent and LJ Easom have helped us Stay Santa Safe by making this event possible.
