Who's busier this holiday than Santa Claus? The amazing folks at your local Postal Service! Not only are they busy making sure that Christmas cards and gifts get to your house on time, but their Secret Santa program brightens up children's lives each year by designating a special team to personally answer letters to Santa and organize toy drives so that needy families get what they need this season, as described by this touching Boston Herald piece on the Secret Santa Program:
Postal employees work closely with social workers, church leaders, neighborhood organizations and other volunteers to match families with anonymous donors dubbed Secret Santas who fulfill family wishlists.
Amid pleas for iPods, Bratz dolls and Nintendo Wii gaming systems, a single mother with a newborn preemie still in the hospital asks her Secret Santa for a baby basket.
“A (Winnie-the-Pooh) bassinet, or any other bassinet would be greatly appreciated as I have nothing for her to sleep in when she comes home (from the hospital).”
And a legally blind single father of four writes, “My meager . . . monthly income is not enough to fulfill their dreams this year. That is why I am kindly asking Secret Santa to help me bring smiles to their faces again.”
Amidst this busy holiday season we got a chance to talk to these Christmas heroes and asked the ladies of the Canoga Park Post Office (including my mom!) what they are watching on TV. They were more than happy to oblige.
