Man hailed 'Britain's best postie' after act of kindness for girl with letter to Santa

Letters to Santa are a longstanding tradition for children across the country to tell Father Christmas their secret hopes and wishes for Christmas Day. One very lucky seven-year-old was given an extra special Christmas when the local postman brought a response back from Santa.

Mum Danika, from Norwich, filmed the moment her daughter Alanah opened the letter from Father Christmas, just two days after giving her list to postman Johnny Wilson, 41.
