Gay NYC couple flooded with mail meant for Santa; touched by kids’ letters [video]
”Over the past month, we’ve received hundreds of letters addressed to Santa Claus…. As it’s progressed, I’ve cared about that less and less, and been more like, ‘Okay, um, Is there an expectation here? What do we need to do? … It’s more emotional than I think I thought it would be. Even when they’re not sad, it’s like the expectation in them, the anticipation in them makes me a little sad.”
