As Brazil is still a poor and unequal country, there are some really emotional letters. Kids asking for clothes, shoes, or stuff for school. Or even more emotive: kids looking for happiness, for a family, and for things that money can't buy. But there's also a few "kids" that ask for outrageous things. A friend of mine found a letter this year asking for a Ferrari. But that's not the most common case, and most letters are sincere.

France

In France you can write a letter to the Père No?l (Father Christmas) at

Père No?l

Rue des nuages

P?le Nord

and you will get an answer by postal mail (if you provided your address) ! No stamps needed, just drop the letter into any mailbox.

My children have been writing one every year and always got a "personnalized” answer.
