        Yeah Ive been a bit lax about that lately since we’ve gotten some great photos without streets in them. My wife has asked the same question a few times now.

        It is at the post office, on the wall across from the door (in the covered area). I noticed it last week and adore it!

      The best part about this mailbox, if you’ve got small children, is that every letter deposited with a return address gets a response back from Santa! A big hit with the True Believers.

      I grew up in alaska (where this zipcode is from) and when I was a middle schooler, we responded to these letters sent from all over the world. I love seeing this box come out every year!! Happy holidays!

      Just when I get start to get bitter about some decision being made that seems political and/or unfair and/or unwise, I read something like this and realize that Decatur is the best place in the whole world.

      When Santa sends back the response, could he/she forward the original letter? I have secretive children who nonetheless expect me to read their minds and meet their every need magically.
