# USPS Operation Santa

USPS Operation Santa (also knows as Operation Santa Claus) is an annual initiative undertaken by the United States Postal Service. The program accepts and organizes letters addressed to Santa and invites adopters to respond to them.

## History

The USPS Operation Santa program began in 1912 when United States Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized local postmasters to open letters addressed to Santa Claus for employees to read and respond to, with the first one starting at the James Farley Post Office..
The Postal Service opened the program to the general public in the 1940s, and corporations, charitable organizations, and individuals across America were able to participate
In 2005 the initiative was featured on the Fox network reality TV special Dear Santa, where six children were chosen from the initiative to have their Christmas wishes granted. The special was hosted by Jim Belushi and featured appearances from celebrities that included Clay Aiken, Hilary Duff, Raven Symoné, and Tony Hawk. A compilation CD was created to coincide with the show and was sold through the United States Postal Service.
In 2017, the Postal Service modernized USPS Operation Santa by digitizing the program so that more Americans could participate. The first test market for the online pilot was New York City. The digital version of USPS Operation Santa allowed for letters addressed to Santa from across the country to be adopted online via the program's website. The digital USPS Operation Santa program was expanded nationally in 2019 when all letters became exclusively available for adoption online.
In 2020, Dana Nachman directed the documentary Dear Santa, which focused on the USPS Operation Santa program and the children who write letters to Santa.
In 2022, Localish produced Dear Santa, the Series, a six-episode documentary about USPS Operation Santa's history, highlighting stories from letter writers and Postal Service employees. In November 2024, season two of Dear Santa, the Series was released on Hulu and ABC.
In 2024, the USPS collaborated with Toys "R" Us to develop Santa's Gift Shoppe, an online catalog that allows letter adopters to select, purchase, and ship gifts directly from the new e-commerce site.

## Program operations

USPS Operation Santa begins to accept letters for the program on a set date in September each year. Letter-writers are encouraged to write Santa’s official USPS address on the envelope at: Santa, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. The Postal Service recommends envelopes include the sender’s full name and return address in the upper left corner and bear first-class postage, such as a USPS forever stamp. Other tips include writing legibly, listing gifts in order of preference, being specific about the gifts asked for, and avoiding asking for gifts that could be considered too expensive. Letters should also include the writer's first and last name and have a complete return address to increase the likelihood of a response.
Once the letters are received, they are anonymized and made available for adoption on the official USPS Operation Santa website.

# Eight Episodes

"Eight Episodes" is a science fiction short story by Robert Reed. It was first published in the June 2006 issue of Asimov's Science Fiction.

## Synopsis

The story follows the lifespan of Invasion of a Small World, a near-future low budget web series (one created with virtual actors and sets using online software) about an Indian astronomer working in South Africa. When one of his graduate students discovers a tiny metal ball in an ancient rock, the world’s scientific community comes alive with excitement. Further episodes of the doomed series reveal information about Earth and the solar system that is extremely accurate, and ignites speculation about alien life in our universe. There is even suggestion that the whole series itself was created by aliens in an attempt to explain the workings of the galaxy and civilizations to mankind.

## Reception

The Internet Review of Science Fiction's Lois Tilton reviewed Eight Episodes as "an odd, thought-provoking work, that raises more questions than answers. Sometimes, we never find the answers."

## Awards

Eight Episodes was nominated for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Short Story and received ninth place in the Locus Award for the Best Short Story of 2007.
# The Great Silence (short story)

"The Great Silence" is a science fiction short story by American writer Ted Chiang that originated as the onscreen text for a video installation of the same name created in collaboration with Allora & Calzadilla. It was initially published as a story in e-flux Journal in May 2015. The story also appeared in the 2016 anthology The Best American Short Stories and in the 2019 collection Exhalation: Stories.

## Plot summary

The structure of this short story is a fable told from the point of view of a Puerto Rican parrot, a critically endangered species endemic to Puerto Rico. It describes the country's Arecibo radio telescope and how, in 1974, the telescope was used to broadcast a radio message from humanity into deep space to demonstrate humanity's intelligence.
The parrot likens this message to the contact call of some social animals, attempting to similarly get the attention of an extraterrestrial intelligence, while noting parrots' intelligence has largely been overlooked. It describes Alex, a grey parrot famous among humans for its ability to communicate, as an exception.
The fable culminates in describing the parrots' imminent extinction, and what they would like to communicate to humanity first.

# Haemanthinae

Haemanthinae is a small subtribe of Haemantheae, and therefore within the African clades of Amaryllidoideae. It consists of two genera, Haemanthus, and Scadoxus.

## Description

The genera of Haemanthinae share brush-like inflorescences, in which the bracts frequently form part of the pollinator attraction system. Not all Scadoxus form bulbs, while all species of Haemanthus do.

## Taxonomy

For the early taxonomic history of these two genera, see Meerow and Clayton (2004). Pax (1888) treated the Amaryllidaceae as four subfamilies, with two tribes in subfamily Amarylloideae, which consisted of two tribes, Amaryllideae and Narcisseae. The former contained six subtribes, placing Haemanthus together with Clivia in subtribe Haemanthinae. Hutchinson (1934) subsequently elevated this to tribe Haemantheae. Later, Traub placed Haemanthus with Choananthus (subsequently submerged in Scadoxus) in tribe Haemantheae in his 1963 monograph on the Amaryllidaceae. Later the Müller-Doblies' created a narrower concept of Haemantheae as a tribe with Haemanthinae as one of two subtribes and two genera, Haemanthus and Scadoxus. Molecular phylogenetic research has confirmed this placement, with Meerow and Clayton (2004) situating Haemanthinae as one of three subtribes of Haemantheae.

### Phylogeny

The Haemanthinae are placed within the Haemantheae as follows:

### Subdivision

* Haemanthus (21 species)
* Scadoxus (9–12 species)

## Distribution and habitat

Scadoxus is a forest understory herbaceous genus, most commonly found in the tropical areas of Africa. Haemanthus on the other hand is confined to southern Africa, within the summer and winter rainfall regions of the Cape.
