The letters originate not only from the U.S., but from around the world. A portion of these letters will find their way to North Pole, Alaska. Displaying another noteworthy sign of yuletide spirit from the postal service, a number of the letters arrive in Southern Indiana without any postage at all. Mary Ann Long has been helping answer children's letters since 1974, when she organized a non-profit group called Santa's Elves. We've been extremely fortunate to get donations each year to cover the expense of answering the kid's letters.
Postage is our biggest expense.
Without the volunteers in Santa Claus, thousands of children wouldn't get their special letter from Santa and thousands of others would not have that thrill of seeing the postmark direct from the big guy himself. Not earth shattering perhaps, but they didn't set out to conquer the world, just make it a happier place for kids. Santa Claus may be a tiny place, but it has a greater purpose.
