  12月24日口譯文章:美國一小鎮以'聖誕白叟'為名:百年來保持答復孩子的信件

  An American town named Santa Claus is being inundated with letters from excited children in the hope they will reach Father Christmas.

  Every year youngsters write adorable notes addressed to Santa Claus, a town in Indiana and the only one to have a post office named after Santa Claus.

  Since 1914, the town recruits local volunteers, known as Santa's elves, to sort through the mail in time for Christmas.

  From eight in the morning until eight at night, the letters are opened and replies penned by around 10 helpers every day.

  Last year, a total of 150 elves showed up to help make children's Christmas dreams come true.
