SACRAMENTO–

Santa Claus surprised six Sacramento-area families Saturday, giving some special kids what they asked for on their wish list this year.

Teaming up with the United States Postal Service, the Dear Santa program has been making wishes come true for nearly 100 years.

FOX40 rode along with Santa as he made his special deliveries to some needy families. For more information on the program, head over to http://www.operationlettertosanta.com/Pages/california-operation-santa-claus.htm
