Ever since, we've been helping him send letters in contracted Braille to blind boys and girls who are ten years old and younger in the United States. Along with the Braille letter, Santa includes a print letter so that parents who might not read Braille can follow along. He also includes a fun tactile coloring sheet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Requests can be made from November 12, 2018, through December 14, 2018. To make a request, fill out the online form located at <a href="https://nfb.org/santa-letters">https://nfb.org/santa-letters</a>. Remember, requests must be received no later than December 14 so that Santa’s letter will arrive before Christmas.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We wish all of you a joyful holiday season!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Warmly,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris Danielsen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Christopher S.
