Talk to Santa: Desert Recreation District Hosting "Santa Hotline" This Week
Kids can call a special hotline three days this week to talk to Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves Frosty the Snowman and others.
Just because Santa lives in the North Pole doesn't mean that our kids can't talk to him!
The Desert Recreation District is once again hosting their "Santa's Hotline" on Dec. 18, 19, and 20. The Indio-based organization has hosted the annual event for the last 15 years, and they encourage children to call in from all over.
Last year, a total of 2,325 calls were received by the holiday troupe-- coming into the call center from as far away as New York, organizers tell Patch.
