Postal Letter

what does the united states postal service do with the letters sent in the mail to "santa claus"?

me and some of my classmates were thinking about what they did with the thousands of letters sent every year.

1. They are labeled undeliverable unless you contact this place http://www.operationlettertosanta.com/Pages/chapters.htm
2. I'm pretty sure they just throw them out. When I was little my parents would say THEY would be the ones to mail it for us, which means they probably just read the lists to figure out what to buy
3. they return to sender with a stamp that says "deceased"
4. They send them to Santa!!!!
5. well, they've started something called 'operation santa' that i think is where they actually may give some children the gifts heres the article http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/89879/post-office-launches--operation-santa-/Default.aspx i think they store them in a bin somewhere with the god ones, or recycle them or something
6. They send them to Ted Kennedy and he reads them
