Santa is going digital.

The U.S. Postal Service’s “Operation Santa” launches Monday. The 108-year-old program fulfills wishlists for families and children in need.

For the first time, would-be gift-givers can adopt families online. The new system will allow more children in need across the country to be reached. Online adoptions start Dec. 4 and end Dec. 19.

Kids can address their letters and lists to “Santa Claus” at 123 Elf Rd., North Pole, 88888. Santa will accept mail through Dec. 15.

Gift givers must be vetted for security reasons through a short registration process and can adopt as many letters as they want online. Gifts must be dropped off at any post office location, preferably wrapped. The Postal Service recommends using free Priority Mail boxes.
