Mail Santa Claus a Wish List, He's sending a Reply this Year
Thanks to a very special U.S. Postal Service program, Santa Claus will reply to Forsyth County children who mail him their Christmas wish lists this holiday season.
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 accepting "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."
