美国圣诞老人小镇回复孩子信件已达百年
An American town named Santa Claus is being inundated with letters from excited children in the hope they will reach Father Christmas.
一个名为“圣诞老人”的美国小镇被洪水般的信件淹没了。这些信件都是孩子们写给圣诞老人的,他们都满心期待圣诞老人能看到自己的信。
Every year youngsters write adorable notes addressed to Santa Claus, a town in Indiana and the only one to have a post office named after Santa Claus.
Since 1914, the town recruits local volunteers, known as Santa's elves, to sort through the mail in time for Christmas.
From eight in the morning until eight at night, the letters are opened and replies penned by around 10 helpers every day.
Last year, a total of 150 elves showed up to help make children's Christmas dreams come true.
