there is some guy that gets it (post master general?). I think you eventually get some letter back with your kids name on some list of 'good children' IIRC from my youth (maybe my parents sent it to a company instead I dunno)... I dunno if they still do that, I remember seeing a news report on it a while ago and they get TONS of letters.

ETA: They probably did this: www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/localnews/ca/ca_2007_1128b.htm

Not sure what they do with them, but we usually send them to Santa and put grandmas address on it so we can get it back for memories.

#1. You don't actually send it, you keep it to read the list.

#2. The post office trashes them or something.

Yeah, they don't actually deliver them

You won't be needing a return address

from what i understand, they first go to the easter bunny's primary sorting station in the woods near the glen.
from there the bad boys and girls letters get sent to big bad wolf.

But the good boys and girls letters are forwarded to santa's elves and their processing station, where the letters are further sorted by class and priority.

So are efficent postal workers mythical, or does the entire US Postal System operate with talking bunnies and elves?

Either way, we should be happy.

Same here, Ironic humor is the best kind of humor, and that was funny. As disturbing as the thought is.

I've got two kids and I thought it was "funny" in a "that's so fucked up it probably happens" context.

As in "it wouldn't surprise me".

Think about it. They teach these prisoners how to use computers and the Internet and they're basically teaching them how to steal our identities and initiate credit card (as well as telephone) fraud.

I can see some "let's put these prisoners to work!" state requiring prisoners to work, and then after a lot of liberal hand-wringing have them stop digging ditches and start answering letters to Santa.

And then enter the unintended consequences. They get out, they know your kid's name, approx. address, likes/dislikes, etc.
