Former nonbeliever helps Santa answer letters in Maryland

Former nonbeliever helps Santa answer letters in Maryland

This is nearly crunch time for Kriss Kringle, so you can imagine there are a lot of things he needs help with, especially answering the letters he receives from boys and girls from all over the world.

Recently, 91欧美激情 became aware of a local man the North Pole commissioned to answer some of those letters for Old Saint Nick.

In what is truly a holiday miracle, Michael Kim of Clarksburg, Maryland, was once a nonbeliever.

Kim鈥檚 journey to becoming one of Santa鈥檚 little helpers started along with his sister at Landover Mall in the ’70s.

鈥淲e saw a Santa Claus mailbox,鈥 Kim said. 鈥淪he said, ‘You could write to Santa Claus.’鈥

With no doubt in his mind, Kim told his sister, 鈥淪anta鈥檚 not real.鈥

Kim鈥檚 sister told him that if he writes, Santa will respond.

When Kim got home, he wrote Santa a letter, asking for a G.I. Joe action figure, Hot Wheels and a Steve Austin “The Six Million Dollar Man” doll.

鈥淪ix days later, I got a letter,鈥 Kim said. 鈥淚 said, ‘What? He鈥檚 real?’鈥

That made Kim a lifelong believer. In 2017, after his mother passed away, he thought about something she had said.

鈥淒on’t just live in a community, make an impact,鈥 Kim recalled.

After getting permission from the North Pole, Kim put an official Santa Claus mailbox on his front porch and let parents know he would be answering letters for the jolly one.

Michael Kim set up a mail box on his front porch in Clarksburg, Maryland, to help answer letters from children to Santa.

鈥淭hat first year, I did over 600 letters,鈥 Kim said.

In the personalized letters Kim sends back, he includes Santa鈥檚 tips on staying off the naughty list.

Along with including stamps, Kim asks parents to drop off cans of food that go to the Clarksburg pantry along with the letters for Santa.

When asked what he thinks as he reads the letters for Santa, Kim laughed when he replied: 鈥淧arents better get a second loan because the list is amazing, and it adds up.”

Luckily, Santa is always around to help.
