In the process they teach us about single-minded pursuit of dreams and above all the quality of empathy. We present 10 of the best letters from around the world to kick in the festive season.

I was glad to get your letter about trying to stop the Russians from bombing the North Pole and risking the life of Santa Claus.
I share your concern about the atmospheric testing of the Soviet Union, not only for the North Pole but for countries throughout the world; not only for Santa Claus but for people throughout the world.

Sincerely,
