And that\u2019s not actually a joke. It\u2019s a Canadian postal code, which has six characters and a mix of letters and numbers. It seems that the lack of a standardized address for the jolly old elf resulted in countless numbers of children\u2019s letters going undelivered. To solve that problem, the Canadian postal service created Santa\u2019s own, personal ZIP code. In the decades since, millions of children have used it to mail letters to Santa in dozens of languages, and have received personalized replies in return in (with an assist from some of St. Nick\u2019s countless postal volunteers).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/product\/upcycled-mail-sack-pouch?source=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Upcycled Mail Sack Pouch, $14<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Santa\u2019s street remains a mystery, at least we know his address ends in H0H 0H0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":30031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28874"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
