Letters to Santa
The tradition of writing letters to Santa dates back to the 1870s, but it wasn't until 1911 that the postal service began forwarding these letters to charity groups. John, a Brooklyn native, stepped up in 1913 to create the Santa Claus Association in New York City, which became a vital link between children’s heartfelt wishes and community volunteers. This initiative not only brightened the holidays for countless kids but also garnered support from celebrities and civic leaders, transforming the way Santa's letters were handled.In this clip
