Longest letter to Santa Claus-world record
set by the Romanian Post
BRASOV,
Romania -- Over two thousand school children aged
8 to 14, wrote in nine days a 413,80 m (1357.61 feet) long
letter to Santa Claus-setting the world record for the Longest
letter to Santa Claus. Photo: Past 10 days, a paper roll longer
than 300 meters circulated in local schools of Brasov city
for children to write their requests for Santa. (enlarge

The campaign was an initiative of the
Romanian Post Office and the local school inspectorate.
Each child started by asking Santa to get
grown-ups to save forests and protect the environment.
By writing on the same (thin) paper the Longest
letter to Santa Claus, children saved tens of pounds
of paper (needed if used separate letters & envelopes). (enlarge
