As a special treat to the children of Tehachapi, we want to tell you a little secret ... Santa Claus loves reading The Loop! We've become friends with the jolly ol' elf over the years and this year he's decided to answer letters from the children of Tehachapi. So, grab your paper, crayons and markers and start working on those letters!

Parents, please mail or drop off your child's letter to our downtown office at 206 S. Green Street in Tehachapi. You can even scan or

take a photo of the letter and email it to

sales@theloopnewspaper.com.

Please include your child's name, age, school and a phone number, so we can reach you if Santa has any questions.

The Loop will be publishing photos of not only your child's letter, but Santa's response, too! Deadline for letters is Dec. 14.

Happy Holidays!
