Kid's Letters to Santa . . .

[NickDG 23]

The below URL will get you to letters the Post Office gets from children written to Santa Claus.

These aren't like the ones we wrote as kids. Some ask only for a pair of shoes or an article of clothing. Some ask for school supplies or a warm winter coat for a mom, sister or brother. Some are even requests for food.

If you want to and are able to maybe you can help out.

The actual letters aren't up just yet, but the site will allow you to be notified when they are . . .

From the Site:

"Every year thousands of children write letters to Santa and in these letters they tell him of their desires for Christmas morning. As you just witnessed not all of them are what you might expect.

The Postal Service does not fund nor maintain a national “Letters to Santa” program. However in 1912, Postmaster General Fred H. Hitchcock first authorized postmasters to allow individuals or institutions to use letters addressed to "Santa Claus" for philanthropic purposes.

May God bless his soul for doing so.

Today volunteers from far and wide collect these precious letters from the Post Office and upload them to the Santa's Heart website. This allows people the opportunity to view and participate in the "Adopt a Letter" program. This "adoption" requires the commitment of at least writing a letter, (on behalf of Santa Claus, of course!) acknowledging the child and the letter that Santa received. Many people see the need written in the childs letter and assist Santa Claus by sending the letter writer gifts.

Today because of technology, many more children and people in need benefit from the kindness of strangers during the Holiday Season.

Santa's Heart, Inc. and this site are singular in purpose. We are a Non-Profit Corporation dedicated to facilitating the volunteers who work to spread the magic of Christmas by answering the letters written to Santa Claus that the big man is unable to do himself. These volunteers make the world a better place."
