The rogue elf who stole Christmas

Dear little brat,

You're getting nothing for Christmas. I hate you and I will kill your dog when I visit your house this year.

Love, Santa

Okay, so maybe that's a little exaggerated, but children in Canada who wrote to Santa this year have been receiving some naughty letters in return, maybe like that one above.

11,000 Canada Post employees and volunteers participate in a "Write to Santa" program and deliver millions of letters to children who sent letters to the North Pole, which has a special H0H 0H0 Canadian postal code.

But at least 10 nasty letters have been sent out to children in Ottawa this year by, what the Canada Post is calling, a "rogue elf." Until the perp is caught, the service has been shut down.
