Move over, Santa Claus; here come Bubbie and Zadie

NEW YORK — Christian kids have been writing letters to Santa Claus for Christmas for over 100 years, and now
Jewish children have a chance to write special Hannukah letters to Bubbie and
Zadie, an imaginary pair of grandparents who read all their mail and
reply as well, all free of charge.

According to project creator Danny
Bloom, who started the letter program in 1981 and still runs it each year, letters should
describe the children's families, their preparations for Hanukah and
their hopes and wishes for the season (gift lists are optional). All letters will be answered by Bubbie and Zadie!

Just
write:

Bubbie and Zadie's Tailor Shop
115 Herricks Road
New Garden City, New York 11040


There's an email address, too, for modern kids:
