Christmas gives children the chance to express their thoughts and wishes through letters to Santa Claus. These letters are characterized by honesty, spontaneity, and humor, with many kids asking for gifts for themselves and their loved ones. This year, about 11,500 letters were sent, with most being sent electronically. The Post2Santa initiative has become an established Christmas tradition, with a steady increase in participation in recent years.
