Hello, Santa!

    You totally lied to your kids when they asked to call Santa, didn’t you? You probably told them Santa doesn’t have a phone, or that he’s far too busy prepping for Friday night to talk to every little girl and boy. Well, you’re wrong because a Wilmington answering service is sending kids’ wish lists straight to the North Pole.

    Appletree Answers has assigned 545 employees — let’s call them elves — to take live calls from kids who want to talk to Santa. An agent will pick up, listen to the request and promise to pass the list onto the jolly one. The 24/7 hotline is open until noon Dec. 23.
