When there is a fake Santa in every mall and department store in town and when IMDb can tell you what actor portrayed Santa in every movie ever made, it is hard for a kid to believe that there is one true Santa. If they get a letter from Santa with an actual signature they can be pretty sure that it is the real thing right?

Letters From Santa are better than Skyping Santa or hearing Santa on the radio because they are a permanent record of your correspondence with one of the most generous and well traveled people in history.
