About Operation Santa Claus

Santa Claus
Christmas is a very special time of year filled with laughter, joy and anticipation. Friends and family gather from near and far to share the warmth of the season. The aroma of roasting turkey fills the house, and children's faces are aglow with wonder and delight. However, many needy children do not have the same anticipatory glow. Many of these children exhibit a touching belief in the goodness and charity of the Christmas season that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. Their "Dear Santa" letters arrive by the thousands in every Post Office in our country. Please read the "Operation Santa Claus" stories that inspired our website. It is our sincere and fervent hope that after reading both stories, that parents, teachers, scouting and civic organizations will band together to form a local chapter of Operation Santa Claus in each and every town in this land. Merry Christmas To All! www.operationlettertosanta.com

Favorite Christmas Tales


Please share this!

"Twas The Night Before Christmas , and all through the house . . . " That famous line is the beginning of one of the most beloved holiday stories of all time. For over 180 years, children have gone to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads, as they wait for Saint Nick to visit on Christmas Eve. Reading the poem has become a favorite family tradition in households across the country. Whether your family curls up by the fire with a treasured copy of the book, or gathers to enjoy an audio – even musical – version, the famous words of Clement C. Moore brighten the holidays for thousands of people every year.

We have gathered together a wonderful selection of Christmas Tales that are sure to delight every member of your family, from the youngest children, who will enjoy the traditional How The Grinch Stole Christmas to parents and grandparents, who will savor selections by Hans Christian Anderson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Please enjoy as our Christmas gift to you!
