USPS Dumps Christmas Joy

From Yahoo News:
"AK volunteers strive to save Santa letter service"

It is a really sad day when the Post Office decides to drop a volunteer program that has been making children smile for over 50 years. No matter what excuses the Post Office makes (ie security, etc) there is no good reason to do away with this program. I can understand there needing to be changes made - such as background checks on the volunteers, etc.

It seems that the Post Office continues to push itself (and others) away from what is right and creating more problems. From not allowing free mail to soldiers fighting and dying for their country to this. It is a disgrace that the USPS will have over its head for a very long time. I can only hope that the volunteers in Alaska can find a way to continue their great work despite the United States Post Office.
