The Christmas season is a busy time for most people, but itâs certainly the most hectic time of the year for that jolly old man who lives at the North Pole â Santa Claus.
Between getting his reindeer ready for their long journey to making sure the elves have made and wrapped all those presents for lucky boys and girls across the world, Santa Claus has to find ways to manage his time.
This year he got some help with one of his many Christmas tasks from a postal worker who works right here at the Sayre Post Office.
Rob Warzyniak was given the job of helping Santa Claus type up his letters to some special boys and girls who live right here in the Valley.
