Chris Groeschke, 57, keeps a mailbox at a USPS store in Las Vegas so that children can send in their wish lists, and he will reply with a card “from the North Pole.” When he sees people doing good deeds in the area, he hands them poker chips with an image of a happy-looking Santa on one side. (The other side shows a grumpy-looking Santa, and if you’re handed one with that side up, then you’ve probably been “naughty.”) And to top it all off, his car’s Nevada license plate reads “SANTA1.”
