Hey lou how many Santy claus letters? We got down at the dead letter office, I don't know, there must be about 50,000 of them bags and bags all over the joint and there's more coming in every day in the movie miracle on 34th Street it was United States Post Office said helped prove that yes, there is *** santa claus. The post office has changed quite *** bit in the 45 years since that classic movie was made yet it still maintains its commitment to the spirit of santa claus. Making sure the letters to santa at the north Pole fall into the right hands. We had one little boy sending *** car to Rudolph and he's sending q tips because he wanted to make sure that Rudolph could hear everything when they were traveling at night. This little boy wants everything for christmas. He's got *** real long carol. Skeffington is santa's helper in Des Moines. She sorts through the nearly 2000 letters to santa that go through the Des Moines post office, but not all the letters she reads, make her laugh. Dear santa. It's been *** long time since I've written this letter. I still believe in you in the magic of christmas. The only thing I want for christmas is something for my dad. He just was laid off from his job. He is the greatest dad ever and all I want is *** small christmas miracle. The post office takes these letters where the Children need instead of just want and delivers them into the hands of people who will be santa and help. We really try to get them some help and we really try with *** program to get assistance for them so that they'll have *** christmas, whether it's *** small christmas miracle or *** ninja mutant turtle. The post office sends out *** postcard from santa just to let the letter writers know that there is *** santa claus. I can just see that little child outside waiting by his mailbox, waiting for *** letter to see and then look at his eyes when he gets that postcard. I think wow, santa got my letter dana carton with an eye on Iowa des Moines.
