'Operation Santa' returns and they need help
Letters to Santa are already pouring in, and the United States Postal Service is putting out a call for helpful elves.
CHICAGO - Letters to Santa are already pouring in, and the United States Postal Service is putting out a call for helpful elves.
The century old program collects Santa’s letters and allows kind volunteers to "adopt" the children and families that write them, fulfilling holiday wants and needs.
The program is now digital and offered fully online.
"You can pick a letter, and basically you receive a code, a QR code, and that's what you would take to the post office to be able to mail those items," explained Tim Norman, USPS Strategic Communications coordinator.

The deadline to adopt a letter is December 19.
