Thank you, United States Postal Service!

From their FAQ:

How do I address a letter to Santa Claus or God?

To write Santa for goodies or with wish lists you should address your letter to Santa Claus as follows:



The USPS will see that the letter is received at the proper place. Please ensure to include the return address on the letter itself!

Letters to God can be addressed in the same way replacing "Santa Claus" with "God"

[Amazing! God is too cheap to pay for His own mailbox?]

What if Santa and God are the same person?

What's with the funky typespacing on the letter? Do we need to write our return addresses that way?

I had the same thought. Santa gives you coal and god sends you to hell if you don't know how to kern letters.

Interesting. So, I'm guessing that the children's letters to god (and santa), actually just get redirected to the parents.

Is that an ackowledgement by the USPS that god does not exist, or simply has no mailing address.

What happens if a kid writes to god, the parents read the letter, and then the kid files suit against the USPS for breech of privacy, tampering with the mail, etc, etc?

Weird! I always thought Santa's address was:

Santa Claus
North Pole H0H 0H0
Canada

He must pay a lot for those post boxes in other countries, especially if they're local. ;)

Grandparents are better

I'm having your nephew send his Christmas list to England. Once I know they got it, I can let him help check the mail again...until then, I don't want to run the risk of him seeing it, if it comes back.

Writing a letter to God just seems weird.

Re: Grandparents are better

Yeah, that does seem weird. I mean, couldn't you just pray? It's cheaper, too!
