USPS to post letters to Santa online; public can adopt letters, send gifts
Moreno explains that Operation Santa has been around for years, but only in certain cities digitally. โIn 1912 post master Frank Hitchcock allowed post masters and their employees and community to adopt letters, so we have continued on the tradition and it is now known as Operation Santa,โ Moreno said. It allows children to write letters to Santa, and the USPS will post those letters on its Operation Santa website, where people can adopt letters and send children gifts. In the middle of the envelope write in Santaโs address: Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888. Santa letters image2.
