Wishing everyone peace & joy this Christmas Season.
Canada Post offices across the country are extremely busy this time of year with many letters and packages being sent out with hopes of being delivered before Christmas Day.Without a doubt the ad-
dress that receives the most letters is one farther north than any Canadian city. Cur-rently, more than one mil-lion children write to Santa Claus at his North Pole, H0H 0H0 address. Each and every letter that is received and includes a return ad-dress will receive a reply from ol Saint Nick.The return-letter pro-
gram that began more than 30 years ago is also a very important part of the holi-day season for thousands of Canada Post employees who help Santa respond to all the letters he receives. There are more than 9,000 employees, called Postal Elves, who help Santa to ensure that every childs letter gets an answer in the language in which the letter was written, including Braille.
Santas little helpersColin Dewar
Post office employees have provided more than 20 million answers to letters addressed to the North Pole over the past three decades
Each elf spends over 21 hours answering Santa let-ters over the holiday season. This year the post office will be delivering its 20 millionth Santa letter, with 1.25 mil-lion letters being sent out across Canada.The Elmira post office is
expecting to see a few hun-dred Santa letters come through the door and one of Santas postal elves, Kerry Mills, could not be more thrilled.Mills has been helping
Santa for three years and enjoys personally reading every letter he can from the children in the area.Santa is a very busy guy
and cant answer all the letters he receives by himself, said Mills during a quick coffee break from letter w r i t i n g , a d d i n g he has r e a d
some really heart-warming letters over the years.Last year I had
one from a young girl who had just been adopted and she described how happy she

was to be with her new family, he said. That kind of thing is why it is fun to do this: you open up a letter and you are blown away with what these kids are writing.Mills said the first
letters usually start coming in just after Thanksgiving but the bulk show up after the Elmira Santa Claus parade, as the post of-fice runs a truck in the
parade just to collect the many letters from kids on the side of the street waiting to see Santa.Right now Mills has
quite a stack of letters to answer and promises to get them all done be-fore Christmas arrives.All the response let-
ters are made personal and signed by Santa and sometimes include a note from the man in red himself.I really enjoy doing
this and it is great to
see that kids are still into Santa Claus. With everything that chang-es for kids, Santa Claus is still constant all the commercial stuff that surrounds Christmas the little kids still see it with their hearts.Mills has seen let-
ters from kids rang-ing in age from 3 to 12, and they all ask for some sort of toy. Over the years the specifics have changed with the fads that follow them
but for the most part kids still just want a toy to play with on Christmas day.I read every letter
that comes in and it is quite a delight because you never know what you will find in those envelopes. Some kids have pages of items of what that they want, others have cut out im-ages from magazines and there are some that just ask for one thing it is really great to see all the variety.

GreetingsSeasonsWhat are you doing in St. Jacobs?I am here wishing kids from the area a Merry Christmas and giving out candy canes and colouring books.
You must be very busy this time of year. Are you look-ing forward to December 26?
I cant wait. We have been very busy and I am looking for some time off.
What are your plans for the New Year?I think we are going on a vacation this year, some-where warm.
What is Santa like when he
comes home from delivering all the presents?He is very tired and needs to sleep for a long time, but he enjoys every minute of it.
Who is your favorite rein-deer?I cant choose just one. They are all very deer to me.
