Letters to Santa Flood Minneapolis Post Office

Children describe good deeds and ask for gifts such as a snowmobile, Easy Bake Oven, or dolls while others request help for siblings. A standout letter from Rhinelander mentions a class project and a New Bedford child mailed to Santa Claus with area ZIP 53687.
