Miracle on 22nd Street

It's unclear why Jim and Dillon are receiving "hundreds of letters addressed to Santa Claus." And they have no idea why. But while most children's letters addressed to the North Pole are destined to go unanswered, this Manhattan gay couple — who live on West 22nd Street in Manhattan, in Apt. 7A — aren't letting the correspondence go ignored. After trying to find out while St. Nick's mail was erroneously redirected to them, Jim and Dillon came up empty. The work of a sloppy postal worker? Doesn't matter, they say. So they started distributing the letters to friends, with the promise that each would fulfill a child's Christmas wish.

Aww such a sweet story! Those two are amazing people!

I always get a little emotional at this time of year, but I swear... that has just made me cry! Wow, that is so amazing that they took this on and tried to do their very best at a time of year when money is usually tight, especially with the economic downturn.

Kinda gives people hope and those kids that have gotten something so far... wow, they are going to have a great day tomorrow!

That is one of the coolest things ever.

This made me smile! =) Thanks for sharing this hehe

I just got a really warm fuzzy because of that. I love people who do nice things.

But I didn't do anything like that this Christmas. Maybe I'm not a good person.

Wow, I must be a bad person. The world is no better off than it was two and a half seconds ago because I haven't fulfilled roving masses of child wishes.

I suck. Now I'm angry. No Santa letters for me.

Stupid postal service.

(This stream of consciousness has been brought to you by the letters U, P, and S and the number 547, which is how many people will be in line front of you if you had to pick up a package this holiday season.)
