Every year when children write their personal Santa Letter they believe they will be delivered.  – and in most cases they are. Even if the envelope only bears the name of Santa, postal services will likely send them onto the town of Santa Claus – in Indiana.  Many in the past would have gone unanswered, leaving loads of unhappy children, but now Santa – courtesy of Imaginary greetings can respond with a personal letter, especially for each child.
