Send Your Child a 'Letter from Santa'
Thanks to a special U.S. Postal Service program, "Santa" will send a letter tailor-made for any child. Here's how.
Every year, millions of children sit down to make a wish list for Santa, hoping he will make all of their Christmas dreams come true.
But what if Santa actually wrote back? The United States Postal Service is now offering "Letters From Santa," a program that allows any person to play Santa by sending a letter signed by Saint Nick to any child.
According to a postal service news release, "The Letters From Santa program helps parents fulfill the dreams of their own children."
