Kids in San Antonio, Texas, don't need to send their letters to the North Pole in order to get a response from Santa.
Last year, Aleem Chaudhry bought a Christmas mailbox, and when he brought it home, his wife suggested he set it up at his deli, Gino's Stop-N-Buy. Immediately, kids started dropping off their letters to Santa. Chaudhry decided that every letter in the mailbox would receive a personalized response from Mr. Claus, and it's not just the kids who get excited by their mail. "What's better is when I look at the parents and the parents look so happy," Chaudhry told KENS5.
