MOVIES - Nov. 17, 1989

Right Writing to Santa: A new kind of “wanted” poster is going up on post office walls across the country. What postal officials want is mail that is addressed legibly, so they have tied in with the movie “Prancer,” a G-rated Christmas-themed film about a little girl who thinks she has found Santa’s reindeer. The 40,000 posters mailed to post offices and branch stations this week (hopefully, legibly addressed) show Prancer delivering a parcel to Santa Claus. By a not so strange coincidence, “Prancer” opens today, and, locally, about 400 elementary school children are scheduled to meet Prancer this morning at the Children’s Museum and drop their clearly addressed post cards to Santa in a special U.S. Postal Service sack in a sleigh attached to the reindeer.
