As, doubtless, you all know - each Christmas all letters and cards sent to Santa, Father Christmas etc. are read by a group of postal workers and wherever possible they arrange a reply.
One Christmas they received a particularly touching letter which went something like this:
Dear Santa,
My family have had a really bad time this year. My Daddy lost his job, my Mummy broke her leg and hasn't been able to go to work for six months. They have repossessed the television and we have had a letter from the Council to say that we will be evicted in January.
I realise that you cannot do much about our problems but could you send me £50 so that I could buy some Flowers for my Mummy and some Beers for Daddy so that they will at least have a nice Christmas
The Posties were so moved by this that they had a whip round and collected £40 which they sent to the boy.
Early in January the following letter arrived for Santa.
Dear Santa,
Thank you very much for the money, we had a nice Christmas, Mummy had some nice flowers and Daddy got sloshed. If those miserable B****rds at the Post Office hadn't stolen £10 I would have been able to buy Grandma a box of Chocolates.......
