Thanks to a very special U.S. Postal Service program, "Santa" will reply to children who mail him their Christmas wish lists this holiday season.
Every year, millions of children sit down to make a wish list for Santa, hoping he will make all of their Christmas dreams come true. But what if Santa actually wrote back?

He's retiring in January, but he said he plans on being Santa forever. His Santa transformation begins in August, he said, as he stops trimming his beard.

The week after Christmas he shaves his beard and usually keeps it trimmed very short the rest of the year, "That's why I'm not one of those ZZ Top Santas," he said. Santa Bob even gets spotted in the off season, like on vacation in Florida, which he describes in the video. Watch to find out what kids ask for, if any one is getting a lump of coal, if he scopes out other Santas for …
Tis the season to have the big sitdown with Santa.
Call it a tradition, a routine or just a force of habit, but most of us go to THAT Santa for our annual picture.

First - where DO you go to see Santa and why is that YOUR Santa? Second - share your Santa photo and spread some holiday cheer!
