Isaacson said children could still get around the new policy by addressing letters to a specific address in his town of 2,100: "Santa Claus House, North Pole, Alaska" or even simply the city hall, and they will get a reply with a North Pole postmark.

"But if you just send it to Santa at North Pole, Alaska... the grinch might steal it," he warned.

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski wrote to US Postmaster General John Potter protesting the cut hitting a town whose very identity is tied to Christmas.

"Children across the world will be anticipating a letter from Santa," she wrote.

"I believe that a small action by the Postal Service to continue the tradition... could go a long way to bring joy to these children and their families."
