How do you write a personalized letter from Santa?

What goes in a personalized letter from Santa?

Five things are enough.

1. The name, written big. It is the first thing the child looks for.
2. One precise memory from the year. They learned to swim. They tidied their room. They comforted their brother.
3. A small detail from the North Pole. The reindeer ate too many carrots. An elf lost a hat.
4. Encouragement. One thing to keep doing next year.
5. A signature and a date. "From the North Pole, December 1."

When should the child get the letter?

Three moments work well.

• Early December: Santa says the name is on the list.
• Mid-December: news from the workshop.
• The day before the 24th: a last word before the big night.

This is the shape of our three letters from Santa (page in French). They cost $14.19 for the three. Santa reads them aloud, with Emma and Theo next to him.

Is there a free template?

Need one right now? Take the free letter from Santa to print (in French). Write the name, add a memory by hand, and it is ready.

Here is an opening you can copy:

Dear (name),
This is Santa. The reindeer and I are thinking of you tonight. I heard that you (memory of the year). Well done. Keep it up.

By hand or ready-made?

By hand, the letter has more charm. It takes 15 minutes and a pen.

Ready-made, it saves time and adds a voice. A four-year-old loves to hear Santa say their name. Hear a ten-second example on the shop page.

Many families do both. One letter read aloud, one letter written by hand.

How do you keep the magic with an older child?

Around age 8 or 9, some kids start to doubt. Do not push. Write a letter about the spirit of Christmas: giving, sharing, making someone happy.

This age also likes puzzles. A letter that hides a clue works very well.
