Is there Santa 2

Gwen: Where do you mail Santa's letter? If I write in Russian ( our Santa is ded Moroz and he brings presents on the 1st of the year) how will the American mail man figure out where to send it?
Me: When you send letters to Russian you write the entire address in Russian and just and "Russia" in English.
Gwen: True. and that seems to work. So do I just ad "North Pole"? Is there a number on his mailbox?
Me: I suspect that he is the ONLY one who lives there, so no mailbox number.
Gwen: What about the elves?

Is there Santa?

Gwen: I know there is no Santa. Everyone knows that all the presents come from parents!
Me: Who is everyone?
Gwen: Everyone at school.
Me: Ok, if you are so sure, than do not write a letter to Santa and you can continue to loudly proclaim that "he doesn't exist" -- it really wouldn't matter if he truly doesn't exist. On the other hand if he does exists, he might get upset and skip our house entirely.
....
Gwen: Well, I'll write him a letter, just do not tell anyone.
