USPS says there are more people wanting to give than there are children writing letters! They're hoping more children will write to Santa.

"I saw a letter yesterday where a child asked for a donkey. They ask for Pokémon, they ask for toys. I had a few that asked for a mattress," said Kim Zagar, USPS.

You can adopt letters on your own, on behalf of a company, or even as a team.

Here's how USPS Operation Santa works!

Step 1: Kids write letters and mail them to

Santa
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888

They should be postmarked by December 14th.

Step 2: Letters are uploaded to USPSOperationSanta.com for the community to browse. Any identifying information, like addresses, will be removed!

Step 3: Letters are adopted by people in the community

Step 4: Shop, wrap and ship via unique barcode at participating Post Offices by December 20. Do not include any identifying information to keep the spirit of Santa alive.

Step 5: Children receive their packages from Santa
