Dear Santa...
Were you ever a child that sent a letter to Santa at Christmas time, putting in your list of what you want for the most anticipated holiday of the year? I know I was. I never got a reply to my letters sent to Santa, but as my belief in him was dying out, I found myself asking, "where do my letters go?" I never found the answer to that question, but after reading this news story, I learned that several years later, the North Pole had answered that question.
Long story short (mainly because you can read the long story by clicking the link above) is that there is a town deep in Alaska that is named "North Pole". This town is full of roads called "Santa Claus Lane" and "Kris Kringle Drive". The United States Post Office teamed up with this little town.
Now, anytime a letter is sent to Santa, with or without postage, the letter is sent to North Pole, Alaska. In the North Pole, there is a large group of people which opens the letters that have a return address on them. They send replies to those kids ackowledging the letter was received and lets the kids hear what they want to hear so that the magic of Christmas can continue. This volunteer group signs these letters as Santa's elves.
There are some kids that would include questions such as "how many cookies can you eat in a night" or "am I on the nice or naughty list".
I'm going to send one that says "You fat bastard, I saw you trying to hump my mom. You better watch your back." I wonder what kind of reply I'd get for that one? I'll add an update if I get one.
