Heartwarming gesture

A Deli owner from the US became a local hero for collecting and replying to hundreds of letters addressed to Santa. Gino's Stop-N-Buy in San Antonio, Texas, at first glance, appeared to be an average Deli but its owner had caught people's attention for replying to hundreds of children's Christmas wish lists.

It all started when the owner Aleem Chaudhry bought a regular mailbox as part of his Christmas decorations. However, the children did not treat the mailbox as a prop and instead they started dropping their Christmas letters to Santa in the box.

While talking to local media, Chaudhry said that last year they had 60 letters by December 15 but this year they already had more than that. Last year, Chaudhary had received almost 400 letters and he made sure to respond to all of them.
