Real or Fake #10

Where do you send your letters to Santa to? The North Pole? Santa’s workshop? Actually, Santa has his own postal code, H0H 0H0 and it’s in Canada. Letters used to end up undelivered because there was no centralized address for Santa Claus. But for the past 30 years, Canada Post volunteers have been helping Santa reply to millions of letters from children around the world in different languages, including Braille.
