Letters to Santa? suppose you are a mailman, what would you do?

Question

If a mailman or post office worker receive a letter to santa or God, what does he/she do with it? Keep it, read it, throw it away, send it back, or what?

Also, what should they do about it? Whats your opinion on the situation? if a happy young kid sent a letter to Santa, and just got it back only to find out santa is nonexistent, that would be sad.

Answer 1

If the post office receives a letter written to Santa, they forward it to the North Pole, Alaska. There, a group of volunteers does their best to reply to each letter they receive. I don't think that there is a gaurantee that your letter will be responded to though. Additionally, it is a generic "form-letter" response. Savy parents can order a personalized letter from Santa Claus for their children at sites like www.letterforchristmas.com (closed for the off-season). Then their child could actually get a response to their specific letter.



I don't know if the post office has an official policy on letters to God. If they don't, and I was a mail carrier, I would drop the letter at the nearest church. I wouldn't feel qualified to read God's mail. However, if a priest (or similar) read God's mail from a neighborhood child, he/she might be able to respond to child's concerns, prayers, questions, etc. Come to think of it, if a child writes a letter to God and gets a response from a local priest, then I guess the letter kind of "worked."

Here in Canada you can write to Santa Claus and get a reply from Santa Claus by using the postal code "HOH OHO" and sending it to the " North Pole ", but I fear a reply is strickly limited to Canadian residents. If you send a letter, Santa Claus will reply with a pre-made letter ( because he is too busy working on delivering presents all around the world, of course! ;) ). Santa tells you about his daily routine as a worldwide giver of gifts. He also signs ( handwritten! ) the letter.



As for God, I have no idea, however!
