MORROW, Ohio — A southwest Ohio couple says packages from Santa Claus have mysteriously shown up on their doorstep after they forgot to intercept their children’s letters to the North Pole from their mailbox.

Micah and Missy Steele of Morrow told WCPO-TV that 7-year-old Lydia wrote Santa a few weeks ago asking for a Zooble character, and 4-year-old Levi requested Hot Wheels and a yoyo.

On Tuesday, they found packages containing those very toys at their door, with handwritten letters signed “Santa.”

The Operation Santa director at a Cincinnati post office that processes Santa mail said the U.S. Postal Service didn’t deliver the gifts. The director of a local library that often receives such mail said workers there also never saw the letters.

Micah Steele said his family is very grateful.
