Writing a letter to Santa Claus is a tradition almost as old as the jolly elf, himself. Since the early years, children have requested gifts, described adventures and sometimes opened their hearts to Santa. But, for all the letters sent to him, how many people know which letters have touched Santa, which letters have inspired him?
