It’s approaching the time of year when children write to Santa but he doesn’t have time to send a personal reply to everyone. I just read about a man in the United States who realised this, and also that as he had a nice fountain pen and some good stationery he could help out with the correspondence. He got started by contacting parents in his local community who also knew other people with parents. Word of the service quickly spread and at $25 a letter it proved to be a lucrative, if temporary business.

Is there any reason why you can’t do this near where you live? Santa needs help everywhere.
