Children write letters to Santa at the Post Office in Manhattan. Citizens can go and pick up a few and send the desired gifts to the young ones. I went and picked up two or three letters around six or seven years ago and sent gifts with my P.O. Box in the return address. For several years afterward, I had Santa letters sent directly to my address. Perhaps the previous tenants in the couple's apartment did the same thing and their address somehow got passed around in schools or on Facebook. New Yorkers can check out Operation Santa at the Farley Post Office on 8th Avenue if they want to send some gifts next year. I remember sending an incredible Barbie to a little girl in the Bronx and shopping for it was the most uplifting thing I did that Christmas season!MickJrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958152521039947777.post-24602227220170746202010-12-25T13:03:02.888-05:002010-12-25T13:03:02.888-05:00Beautiful quote:

How do you think that will make them feel?<br /><br />Jim: By the time they grow up, it won’t matter. Years from now, they won’t even think in terms of gay or not-gay."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101675954056234701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958152521039947777.post-56945760876051538282010-12-25T12:42:37.270-05:002010-12-25T12:42:37.270-05:00Thank you for posting.. this made my Christmas Day...Thank you for posting.. this made my Christmas Day..Brick1101https://www.blogger.com/profile/00514827885051170095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958152521039947777.post-64871124200440646972010-12-25T11:25:07.022-05:002010-12-25T11:25:07.022-05:00Ty for sharing, Touching story and excellent inter...Ty for sharing, Touching story and excellent interview.
