emailSanta.com is a Christmas-themed entertainment website. It claims to let people send emails to Santa Claus and get a computer-generated, personalised answer from the website.[1][2]
History
changeCreation
changeemailSanta.com was started in 1997 by Alan Kerr. Kerr started the website after a strike by Canada Post workers prevented his niece and nephews from sending letters to Santa Claus, which are replied to by volunteers at Canada Post.[3][4] During the first two weeks of the site's existence, emailSanta received over 1,000 emails.[5][6]
The website can be read in different languages.[7][8] The website also has a "Santa Tracker", which mimics the tracking of Santa Claus.[9]
