Reports the [I]New York Times[/I]:
The United States Postal Service abruptly shut down public participation in all the Operation Santa programs — in New York and other major cities across the country — at 1 p.m. Wednesday, without offering post offices or letter-seeking citizens any understanding of why.
It's because a registered sex offender took a letter, and God knows what he would have written or sent as a "gift." To be sure, you could argue that he's rehabilitated, but it looks suspiciously like returning to the scene of the crime to us. Thanks for ruining Christmas for countless letter-writing needy kids!
(It'll re-open the program in New York, at least, on Saturday.)
