Santa letters are a great way to add joy to the holidays but not just any Santa letters will do. Kids are very savvy these days. In fact, many of them want proof that the letters they receive from Santa are real. They look for things like a post mark from the North Pole and a stamp from Santa. They know that if the letters from Santa are genuine they will be personalized.
This means a typical form letter will never do. An authentic letter from Santa should include personalized information – things like the color of the child’s eyes and the name of someone significant in the child’s life. Naming the town the kid lives in also adds a touch of authenticity. But if the letter isn’t written with the right enthusiasm, and just the right tone, then it will never come across as sounding like Santa Claus.
And who knows Santa Claus better than kids? After all, it is kids that read stories about Santa, they watch TV shows and movies about Santa, and they dream about Santa. That makes them the experts on Santa Claus.
Even Santa letters that try too hard to convince kids that the letter is really from Santa will be seen as fakes. The best way to carry on the tradition of Santa letters that keep kids believing in Santa, Rudolph, the elves and Mrs. Claus is to send one of the best Santa letters available. In fact, you can get an entire package from Santa that will astound your kids.
These packages include everything from North Pole snow to a swatch of Santa’s suit to one of Mrs. Claus’ Famous Sugar Cookies. And every letter from Santa comes with a free video greeting from Santa. Kids will love that.
Santa letters are an inexpensive gift that does much more than simply make a moment fun – these are the kind of gifts that create treasured childhood memories. The Santa letters become cherished keepsakes that kids hold on to for years. They become reminders of a wonderful Christmas and as these children grow up Santa letters becomes a tradition they continue with their own children. Share the joy and love of Santa letters this year – they really can add to the magic of the season!

Santa Claus Letters And Other Christmas Traditions
Writing Santa Claus letters is perhaps one of the oldest and best loved Christmas traditions. The reason is simple really. This tradition focuses on a holiday icon; a hero that kids adore. And kids can enjoy this tradition with or without the involvement of their parents. All they need is paper and pencil to make this tradition happen. But of course, that’s not the ideal set up for this holiday favorite.
Writing letters to Santa Claus is much more fun when it becomes a family event. And kids love to send Santa letters that are artfully decorated with glitter, stickers, and beautiful stationery. And luckily enough, almost as if by magic, it seems that in every household there is at least one adult that has the real Santa address at the North Pole.
The Santa letters naturally lead to children hoping for letters from Santa Claus. And that has resulted in another tradition of sorts. Over the years parents have done what they could to secretly write letters themselves and try to convince their kids that these letters had a post mark from the North Pole and were really written by Santa. But nowadays they can simply order authentic Santa letters online.
Not only do the kids get personalized letters from Santa Claus, but they also receive a video greeting from Santa. In fact, parents can order packages that include a Santa’s Nice List Certificate or even one of Mrs. Claus’ Famous Sugar Cookies.
Decorating for the holiday season is another favorite Christmas tradition. Besides having a Christmas tree as a focal point we like having signs of Christmas evident throughout our homes. We accomplish this by adding garland to the handrails of our staircase and along the mantles of our fireplaces. We also hang mistletoe above doorways and add tabletop decorations wherever we can. We even move our decorating thirst outdoors and add lawn ornaments and lights to our house and yard.
The most basic holiday tradition is probably that of gift giving. We still give gifts to those we care about during the Christmas holiday. But during these economic hard times the gift giving has changed somewhat. Many people are now giving ‘gifts from the heart’ and recipients are loving it. These gifts are often handmade items. They may be things that are simple craft projects or in other cases they are family heirlooms that are being passed down as holiday gifts. This ‘getting back to basics’ has put new meaning on the concept of ‘giving from the heart’.
As you celebrate the holidays this year, consider the ways you celebrate. Do you follow traditions that generations from the past have, or are you setting new trends for your family? Is writing letters to Santa Claus a family event at your house? And what sort of gifts will you be giving this year?
The traditions that children follow in their homes as they grow up tend to set the way for how the traditions they will follow throughout their life. We can choose to focus on having time together to write letters to Santa, to create Christmas crafts, or to simply find time to bond. These special times can help strengthen family ties and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
After your kids write their letters to Santa they will be waiting anxiously for letters from Santa that reassure them that they are on Santa’s Nice List. You can order the best Santa Claus letters online and get a free video greeting for your kids that will amaze them. Get back to basics this year. Spend time bonding with those you love.

From Halloween Candy To Santa Letters
At my house, as soon as Halloween is over my grandkids start writing their Santa letters. They write lots of letters to Santa Claus before Christmas. I think some of them are just for practice though.
I have four grandkids, two boys and two girls. Daniel is getting older now and he is beginning to question whether Santa really exists at all. But he’s still unsure enough that he doesn’t want to skip writing to Santa.
Savannah is next in age. She still believes and is always ready to tell Daniel that he better too. Savannah is happy to explain in detail how it is possible for reindeer to fly and for Santa Claus to deliver gifts around the world in one night. She can explain it all and there is no room for doubts or nonbelievers.
Madilynn is four years old. She’s at one of those really fun ages – you know, she believes in Santa Claus and gets excited about every little thing. With every commercial or ad she tells me she wants ‘that’ for Christmas.
And finally there’s Matthew. Matthew is only two. Of course he’s too young to really know what’s going on but he’s starting to get the idea that holidays are special times.
Here’s the really fun part; when the kids are all together at my house and they decide to write letters to Santa, all four of them work together. Daniel and Savannah take charge and help the younger ones. They instruct them about the importance of making Santa letters pretty and how the letters have to look nice so Santa will open them. It’s funny to see their frustration when Matthew scribbles on his paper with a crayon and Madilynn takes what seems like forever to write a single word.
But in the end they complete the project and each of them seem to feel proud. As I said, some of these letters to Santa are only for practice. When they ‘get it just right’ we mail the letters off to the North Pole. Then the wait begins for the letters from Santa.

Writing Santa Letters That Can Make Christmas Dreams Come True
Even Santa letters that are not sent can help us visualize the things that could make our dreams come true. Even as adults we can enjoy getting ‘into the zone’ if only for a few moments, of believing that anything is possible.
This sort of belief can help us escape from reality, if only for a brief period of time. It can offer us a time to forget about the problems and responsibilities we may be struggling with. For a short period of time we can go back in time – back to the place in time when we were children and we believed in things like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and magic.
Can you remember how wonderful that felt? Don’t you deserve that freedom and bliss again? Grant yourself the right to enjoy that. All you have to do is allow yourself simple pleasures.
Spend time with children and let yourself get involved in their world – be a part of their fun and games. When it’s time for them to create Christmas craft projects – you create some of your own. But create the same kind that the kids do. And when they write letters to Santa Claus, you write letters to Santa.
When you write these letters to Santa, try to imagine that Santa really does exist and that he has the power to bring you whatever you want. Imagine the way kids must feel. You’ll understand why Christmas holds so much magic for kids and why it is so important to encourage this belief for as long as possible.
When we lose it we lose much more than we realize and unfortunately, it’s something that we can never really get back. For example, even if you can imagine for a few moments time that Santa exists, and you send a wonderful letter to the North Pole, unlike the children, it is very doubtful that you will be waiting for letters from Santa.
The kids on the other hand will wait anxiously. And when those letters arrive they will be thrilled. Let the magic live on!

A Holiday Calendar For Tracking Letters From Santa And More
Santa letters can sometimes be the beginning of a lot of excitement in the homes where there are kids. The kids write their letters to Santa, often right after Halloween, and then wait anxiously for Santa to respond. After all, every kid knows that until those letters from Santa arrive there’s really no way to know if they are on Santa’s Nice List or not.
This article is about a fun activity for you and your kids. It just might help to keep your kids occupied for at least one evening during the holiday season and it might come in handy from then on. The Christmas season brings out excitement in little ones. It’s to be expected. They are always asking how many more days until the next holiday event and of course, how many more days until Santa Claus comes. We really can’t do a lot to change that so we have to find ways to work with it. Here’s my solution.
Why not make your own special countdown calendar. Make it meaningful to your family. For instance, if you traditionally decorate your tree on Thanksgiving Day, then you could start your calendar with that. And on that day, along with a turkey or Pilgrim, maybe you would also add a Christmas tree.
As you and your kids add the icons and emblems to the calendar you can get creative. In fact, the more creative you get the better. Use stickers and whatever you can think of. Small buttons and craft supplies work well too.
Of course you will want to have glitter and markers on hand. Consider things like special visits. If ‘grandma’ will be coming on a specific date maybe you can add her photo to that date. If you get snow on a particular day you could add a snowflake. You will want to mark the day that you write your letters to Santa as well as the day that the letters from Santa arrive.
You get the idea. Instead of buying a pre-made countdown calendar, make your own. It will have special meaning to you and you will have fun making it.
Happy Holidays!

Letters From Santa, Christmas Trees, And Unique Tweaks To Holiday Traditions
The day that letters from Santa arrive is a special day. It will be brightened with a touch of joy and cheerfulness. As you might imagine, the expressions on your kids’ faces will be delightful. You will want to have your camera close by. But don’t be surprised if each of your children reacts a little differently. One may excitedly read the Santa letters aloud and another may sneak off to another room to see what secrets the letter holds.
That’s part of what makes the occasion so much fun. It’s similar to other holiday events. For example; decorating the Christmas tree or creating holiday craft projects. Some kids want to be involved in the process from start to finish and others only want to add the finishing touches.
When it comes down to it, holiday traditions are tweaked by all of us to accommodate our unique situations and needs. That’s what makes us all so special and that’s what makes the world interesting. It’s what adds sparkle and shine to life.
Consider the simple holiday craft projects and writing letters to Santa. Some kids write Santa letters that are long and detailed and others get straight to the point. Some will spend an enormous amount of time decorating the letter and envelope, explaining that Santa letters are so important, they have to be beautiful.
Of course, it’s not just kids that have unique spins on holiday traditions. Some adults insist on having special champagne toasts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and some have stringent rules about when the tree can be decorated or when the gifts can be exchanged. In fact, some even create Christmas countdown calendars that determine the day that the kids will write their letters to Santa.
Like snowflakes, we seem alike on the surface but on closer examination we can see that each of us is unique and beautiful. And each of us should be admired and appreciated for the things that make us special. Take the time to consider the exceptional things about the ones you love and give gratitude.

Santa Letters And Making Christmas Special
Have you ever thought about Santa Letters and how they can brighten up a winter day? When the holiday season gets close it’s time to start making plans for special time with your family. The good news is, that special time can be spent in simple ways. Just plan an evening around writing letters to Santa Claus and making a few Christmas craft projects.
If you already have a craft box you’re way ahead of the game. If you don’t then now’s a great time to start one. Just use a plastic tub or container or some sort. Add some construction paper, markers, crayons, glitters, buttons, ribbon, scraps of fabric, some paper, and, well, you probably get the idea. Just start adding whatever you can think of that could be used in craft projects. Once you get your mind around it you will find that there are all kinds of things you can add.
Then, when Christmas approaches and the time is right, plan your Santa letter writing day. Your kids will love you for it! Let them decorate their letters with pictures and stickers – and don’t forget the glitter. Envelopes have to be decorated too. Kids want to be sure to address those letters to Santa Claus at the North Pole. Of course, you know they will be waiting anxiously for their letters from Santa!
After the letters to Santa are finished you can move on to some of your craft projects. A favorite at my house is magical reindeer food. This is an easy project. Just mix up some oatmeal and glitter. That’s it! Another holiday project that we do is snowmen made out of Styrofoam balls. We usually end up with a complete family of them.
The point is, this family time is fun for all of us and it creates special memories for each member of the family. The next day I drive the kids to the post office to mail their Santa letters and then their wait begins. They wait anxiously until the mailman brings them their letters from Santa. That’s how they know they’ve made Santa’s Nice List again!

Making Christmas Bright & Santa’s Letters Right
When Christmas is near kids everywhere begin thinking about things they want to find under the tree. They also begin thinking about Santa letters and how to stay on Santa’s nice list. After all, the belief that a child is on Santa’s naughty list can be quite worrisome.
So it is a Christmas tradition for kids to write letters to Santa. Some families have even made this a family event. They save an evening for creating craft projects and writing the letters to Santa Claus. Sometimes this time also includes decorating the Christmas tree or baking cookies. It can truly be a wonderful time to share and bond as a family.
Ideally you will have a craft box that contains some nice paper and things like glitter, glue, bright markers and even some stickers. Other ideas include old Christmas cards and even wrapping paper from years gone by. You see, kids always want to decorate their letters to Santa. A plain piece of paper and envelope will never do when it will be seen by Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Rudolph!
Parents are expected to know the secret address at the North Pole that the letters should be sent to. Of course, if you don’t know that address you won’t have to worry because your local post office can help. They are very used to getting these letters. One of the nice things about letters to Santa is the fact that they make wonderful guides for adults when they are shopping.
Children always list what they want for Christmas. Additionally they are likely to add explanations for any bad behaviors as well as promises for the future. One of the most frequently asked for gifts is a simple response to the letter. It seems that every kid wants a letter from Santa. The good news is that you can easily take care of that request.
A letter from Santa can keep the magic alive for children. It helps to keep them believing in Santa Claus for a long time, which makes Christmas more fun for kids. The delight on their faces as they read these letters is pure joy – you will want to have your camera ready because you will treasure those expressions!
