Every year tens of thousands of kids write letters to Santa Claus. But before these letters get to the North Pole, their first stop is the post office, the place where the dreams really come true.

Operation Santa, the century old program provided by the United States Postal Service offers you a chance to be the Secret Santa by reading and answering letters. Starting from Dec. 3, people in the LA Area can go to three offices to join the program: the Los Angeles office, the Santa Ana Office and the Sierra Coastal Office.
