maybe a little late for Christmas: Here’s the typewriter used to answer letters to Santa Claus, at the U.S. Post Office of Santa Claus, Indiana:

For 30 years, kids letters to Santa Claus were answered, with the responses typed on this Corona at the Post Office. The machine rests on display at the Santa Claus Museum in Kris Kringle Plaza in Santa Claus, Indiana, about 40 miles east northeast from Evansville (south of Interstate 64).
Answers to letters to Santa Claus are answered from the museum today.
You can see the typewriter; Roadside America’s website says the museum is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily — but you may want to call ahead to confirm:
