Santa Writes Back

"The U.S. Postal Service is helping keep the enchantment of Santa Claus alive with its 'Letters From Santa' program. 'Letters From Santa' allows a parent, grandparent or any person in a child's life to mail a letter to their child  'From Santa," postmarked from the North Pole," according to a press release from USPS.

The release points out, "The personalized letters that parents send to their children via the 'Letters From Santa' program is different from the historical 'Operation Santa' program.

"In 'Operation Santa,' the Postal Service facilitates the matching of customers with letters written to Santa from needy children. Participants in 'Operation Santa' help fulfill a child's dream with a gift and a response letter from Santa. (Customers are not provided the child's address in the "Operation Santa" program.) The 'Letters From Santa' program helps parents fulfill the dreams of their own children."
