In the spirit of giving on Christmas, the U.S. Postal Service will continue its Operation Santa tradition, begun in 1912, which pairs needy families with others who will fulfill their holiday wish lists. The program accepts letters from families across the country with a wish list for Christmas. The letters are then uploaded to the website USPSOperationSanta.com, where other families can adopt a letter by reading through the wishlists online and fulfilling them. According to the Postal Service: The letters must be addressed to Santa’s official workshop address which is Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. Letters to the program must be postmarked by Dec. 10, be affixed with a first-class mail forever stamp, and have a return address. The Postal Service does not guarantee that all letters will be answered. The program started in 1912 when children were actually trying to send letters to Santa through the Postal Service: The instructions for submitting and adopting a letter are as follows: More details about the program can be found on the Operation Santa website.
