if you're mailing it to the same place they have tons of volunteers who work answering as many letters as they can! they respond with either a from santa or a from *insert an elf's name*
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Hmmmm.... The letters are mailed with paid postage, and sent back by volunteers, also paying postage (I'm assuming). So that covers the cost for the Postal Service's transport and delivery.... And considering that electronic mail has drastically reduced the volume of paper mail sent, you'd think they'd be glad for the business...

I can't figure this one out, unless it's part of President Obama's evil plan to punish Sarah Palin's home state and continue the liberal WAR ON CHRISTMAS all at the same time..... :roll:

there's somthing about someone noticing that a child <deleted> offender handled one of the letters (closed)
he didn't read nor open the letter but the postage company thinks that the doors are too open for <deleted> offenders in whatever process they have for handling the letters

I thought they had to be registered.... Couldn't the postal worker just take two seconds and type the name into a search engine before delivering the letter??
