It’s a great feeling to know that the good folks at USPS still remember what it’s like to be a kid during Christmas. Every year, USPS helps fulfill children’s letters to Santa by calling on volunteers to buy presents that kids ask for in letters addressed to the North Pole. Thanks to the US Postal Service and goodhearted volunteers, thousands of children across the country wake up on Christmas morning to find special presents delivered by none other than Santa himself.
How You Can Help USPS Fulfill Letters to Santa for Children
USPS calls this special program of theirs Operation Santa, and this year marks the 107th year it’s been going on.

“Letters come from hopeful children and families. Answer one (or many) to make a difference. No matter how big the wish, do what’s doable for you,” the USPS website states.
