For many years, letters addressed to Santa were redirected by the postal service to a small town in Alaska. The good folks of this town then sent replies back to the children.
But with the rise of child predators, the post office deemed this an unsafe practice. So, they announced that they would no longer forward the letters.
Of course, the residence of the town were offended and complained along with numerous others. In response to the complaints, the postal service decided to continue with its former practice.
So, boys and girls, get your letters to Santa out early before the rates go up again.
