True; every major city seems to have an address and a lot more just make 
up the zip codes so they seem logical to kids, and advertised locally at 
that. The post office actually just looks at who it's addressed to; if 
it's Santa, Kringle et al, it goes to the various bags they set aside 
for them. Here you can even get letters to answer yourself if there's an 
address to go along with it. They keep lists of who's 'naughty and nice' 
and it's legally the registered person's responsibility to not be stupid 
with their letters. Here there's even a form letter template that has to 
be used. There are even charity "bags" where you can anonymously 
signed-up send gifts to kids in need, and a lot more. It works neatly 
here since we're a small rural community; I don't know how other, larger 
cities work it. AFAIK there has never been a miscreant in the process; 
here, at least. Oh, and they have to be sent in special envelopes, too, 
that are donated for the purpose. I've done print runs for them several 
times.

It reaffirms the good in people; as long as it's a full registration and 
responsibility oriented.

Cheers, won't be long & it'll be here!
