The Christmas spirit

I took this picture today at the Chilean Main Post Office. Correos de Chile (our public postal service), organizes this event every year, where you can go and read the letters that poor children write to Santa Claus. People choose the letter with more meaning to them and then get that child the present they want. It's a nice initiative, because there are thousand of families that can't afford the presents their children ask Santa Claus.

What a touching thing to do. Its a lot like Angel Tree here where one can choose an angel card with the request of a child whose parent is in prison and would get nothing for Christmas without the kindness of others.
