Santa fun in the snow

[Address]

Season’s greetings, dear [First name],

It’s snowing outside, and I’m sipping a steaming mug of cocoa and warming my toes by the fire. Isn’t it just a wonderful feeling to be warm and cosy in winter?

There is so much happening at the North Pole. Everybody is busy with something. Mrs Claus baked hundreds of star-shaped cookies. A few of the elves helped decorate them with lemon icing and sparkles. The reindeer and I tasted them and can honestly say that they are very delicious. The rest of the elves have been making presents around the clock. I even spotted the [Present] you’re hoping for in Workshop Five. Apart from tasting cookies, the reindeer have been very busy training for the upcoming trip around the world. It’s incredible how fast they can fly!

The elves and I wondered if we can be just as fast and had a little fun with our sledges. We went up the biggest hill we could find and sledged down as fast as we could. Ah, the reindeer thought that was very funny. Of course, we were nowhere close to as fast as the magical reindeer, but it sure was fun to try.

Has it been snowing in [HomeTown] too? Then [Friends Name] and you can also sledge, or perhaps you prefer to build a snowman. Building snowmen is also a lot of fun, no matter how old you are. It is fun at my age, but just as much fun at [Age Range] old. Don’t you agree? Oh, that reminds me, I received a letter from [Relative Name] just the other day. I enjoyed reading about your [Achievement] and was very impressed. Well done for once again being on my Nice List!

My dear [Boy/Girl], I’ve had so much fun writing you this letter, but I better get back to the workshop. After all, it’s almost Christmas!

May your festive season be jolly and merry,

[Santa Claus]

Santa and his Fluffy Blanket

[Address]

My dearest [First name],

Did I ever tell you about one of my favourite things to do over the Christmas season? I don’t think I have, so go ask [Relative Name] to help you make a cup of hot cocoa or maybe even some yummy tea, and then snuggle up with a fluffy blanket while you read my letter together.

You see, my favourite thing is exactly that. I love drinking hot cocoa on very cold days with my fluffy blanket. That blanket was a gift from Mrs Claus many years ago, and l make sure to look after it as best as I can. When I’m all cuddled up on my favourite chair, the elves and the reindeer and even our pets, Molly, the cat, and Bubba, the dog, come join me. Every night, one of the elves picks a book to read, and then we spend the evening reading together. Do [Friends Name] and you also like reading together?

Last night, we read the story about Rudolph and his red nose. Poor little Rudolph hated that red nose, but once he realised how wonderful it was, he loved it instead. It’s one of my favourite Christmas stories. Then again, I like all Christmas stories. Do you have a favourite one to read? I do hope so.

Perhaps you could write me a letter and tell me which story it is. Don’t forget to let me know if your Christmas wish is still a [Present]. [Relative Name] already told me about your [Achievement], but maybe you could tell me a bit more about it too! I’m always super impressed a [Boy/Girl] that is [Age Range] old does such wonderful things. I’ll be keeping my eye out for that letter from [HomeTown].

My dear [Boy/Girl], I really wish you the most magical festive season.

May it be filled with all the good things, hot cocoa, good books, and cuddly blankets.

Merry Christmas,

[Santa Claus]

Merry Christmas, my dear [First name],

It is mighty cold outside, and I thought I’d come in for a quick cup of hot cocoa and read my letters from all over the world. I’m always excited to receive mail from [HomeTown]. I must thank you for your beautiful letter, my dear [Boy/Girl]. It really did make me smile. I took it into the workshop to show all the elves. Even Pippa, the elf working on your present, said how wonderfully written it was. She can’t believe that you’re already [Age Range] old. I told her all about your [Achievement], and she said that she would make extra sure that your present is extra special this year, am I correct in thinking you would like a [Present]?

Did you know that each elf has specific children they always make gifts for? Pippa has been making you presents ever since you were very little. Now, little Poppy makes all the presents for your friend, [Friends Name]. There is also Perry, Percy, Polly, Penny, Pinkie, Percival, and Paisley. They make presents for all the other good boys and girls in [HomeTown]. When the elves have finished making all the special gifts, each elf wraps the gift as best they can. Paisley likes using colourful paper. Polly loves sparkly ribbons. And Pippa… well, you’ll have to wait till Christmas to see!

Speaking of Christmas, are you looking forward to the festive season? I know [Relative Name] and you always have the most wonderful time. It’s so important to spend Christmas with our loved ones and friends. And even if we can’t spend it with them, we can always write a letter or send a little present to show we care. After all, Christmas is all about love and special moments.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, my dear [First name].

See you soon,

[Santa Claus]

Playing with the reindeers with Santa

[Address]

Ho, ho, ho, dear [First name],

Isn’t the festive season just the best time of the year? Oh, we sure do love it here at the North Pole. Of course, we work very hard all year round to make sure the good boys and girls all over the world get presents for Christmas. After all, the children work hard the whole year too. [Relative Name] told me all about your [Achievement]. Well done, my dear [Boy/Girl], you really do deserve a [Present] under the tree this year. But, you know, with all that hard work, it’s important to play too. I know that [Friends Name] and you always have fun playing and that makes me very happy indeed.

We’ve been having the most wonderful day filled with fun and games here too. The reindeer showed the elves all their new flying tricks. They even took some of the elves on little flights all over the North Pole. They flew up and down and in circles. The reindeer flew upside down with poor little Poppy, the elf. Boy, she got so dizzy, she had to sit down and sip cocoa for at least 20 minutes. Dizzy or not, Poppy said she hadn’t had this much fun in ages and asked the reindeer to take her on another trip! Prancer wanted to take Mrs Claus flying, but she said that she’d rather stick to making Christmas pudding. Mrs Claus doesn’t like flying one bit, but luckily, I love flying with the reindeer. And, of course, we’ll be making a stop in [HomeTown] soon.

My dear [First name], I must run now and see if all the reindeer and elves are back from their flying adventures. Mrs Claus has baked a pie, and I’m sure they’re all very hungry by now. Before I go, I also wanted to thank you for the beautiful letter. I can hardly believe you’re already [Age Range] old. You really are growing up so fast.

May you have the merriest of seasons, and may your days be filled with laughter and joy.

[Santa Claus]

Decorating the North Pole

[Address]

Season’s greetings, [First name],

Oh, my dear [Boy/Girl], I must tell you about the most exciting day we’ve had!

Early this morning, Mrs Claus brought the elves and me mugs of steaming hot cocoa. You see, it’s getting very cold here at the North Pole, and the hot cocoa sure does help warm up the insides. The reindeer prefer warm milk with honey, so they got some of that instead. Of course, Mrs Claus also had cookies for everyone. After we feasted, it was time to get to work. Today was Decorate the North Pole Day!

First, we decorated Mrs Claus’ kitchen with tinsel and the most beautiful golden stars. Then we decorated the living room with little toy reindeer and put up the most magical Christmas tree. The elves were being naughty and kept hiding the baubles behind the cushions of my favourite chair. Luckily, I found all of them and put them back on the tree. Next, we decorated the elves’ workshop until every corner glittered and sparkled. Even the reindeer got in on the fun and decorated all the trees in the forest with tinsel and stars and sparkling baubles. Ah, the North Pole is looking very festive indeed.

Have [Relative Name] and you decorated your home yet? Did [Friends Name] help you too? I heard about what good friends you are. That is why you are both on my Nice List again this year. Well done, dear [First name]. I also heard about your [Achievement] and am very proud of you. If you keep being a good [Boy/Girl], you may just find a [Present] under the tree this year! I can hardly believe you’re already [Age Range] old. Just the other day, you were so little, and I brought you your very first present.

I look forward to visiting you in [HomeTown] soon. Till then, keep being good, remember to smile,
and always share your Christmas cookies with your friends.

Merry Christmas,

[Santa Claus]

Reindeer training with Santa

[Address]

Merry Christmas, [First name],

Here at the North Pole, we’re in full Christmas swing. Mrs Claus has been baking mince pies around the clock. Do [Friends Name] and you also like mince pies as much as I do? You know, even the reindeer love mince pies. Mrs Claus makes sure they don’t eat too many, but I tell her they need all the strength they can get for their upcoming trip around the world.

The reindeer are so excited about this year’s trip. They’ve heard all about how festive [HomeTown] is looking, and they can’t wait to visit! As I’m sure you can imagine, Christmas is their favourite time of the year. They spend the entire year preparing for it, and they eat as well as they can. Well, except for all those mince pies. They also practise flying at least three times a day. studying the best flying routes, with Prancer also working on his landing technique. It really is quite an extraordinary achievement. With all that hard work, they sure would appreciate it if you could leave some carrots or even some cookies out for them on Christmas Eve. They really have earned it!

Speaking of achievements, Mrs Claus and I were especially pleased to hear about your [Achievement]. For a [Boy/Girl] who is only [Age Range] old, that really is quite remarkable. I’m sure [Relative Name] is just as proud of you as we are. Please, do keep up the good work! I’ve made sure to put your name on the Nice List and will do my very best to see about that [Present] you were hoping for.

Well, I better go see how the reindeer are coming along with their flying practice, but I have a sneaking suspicion they may have found Mrs Claus’ hidden stash of mince pies.

Wishing you the most festive of seasons filled with sparkle, joy, laughter, and loads of mince pies.

[Santa Claus]

Snowing at the North Pole

[Address]

Season’s Greetings, my dear [First name],

The elves woke me up very early this morning. You see, they were very excited because it had been snowing all night, and everything was covered with a thick layer of fresh snow. That fresh, fluffy snow is the best, don’t you agree? I hope it snows in [HomeTown] soon.

We have been working around the clock these last few weeks. After all, we have important presents to finish. Just yesterday, the elves were putting the finishing touches to the [Present] you asked for, so continue to be a good [Boy/Girl] this year and I hope to bring it to you at Christmas.

This morning when the elves showed us all the fresh snow, Mrs Claus and I decided that today was going to be a day off. It was time to have some fun outside! Do [Friends Name] and you also like to play in the snow?

My dear [Boy/Girl], we had a wonderful time with all that snow. First, we built snowmen, but the reindeer kept eating the carrot noses. Then we had a snowball fight. Can you believe that even Mrs Claus joined in? Oh, what fun we had. We played and played until our socks were soggy.

My soggy socks are drying in front of the fireplace now. Mrs Claus has brought me a mug of hot milk and some freshly baked Christmas pudding to enjoy while I write to you. I must tell you how very impressed I am that you [Achievement]. I can’t believe you are only [Age Range] old. That really is fantastic.

I’m also happy to hear how much you love [Relative Name] and how kind you always are. Therefore, once again, you are on my Nice List. Congratulations, [First name]!

Now, let me wish you a very, very Merry Christmas. May it be filled with Christmas treats, mugs of hot milk, and loads of snow to play with!

[Santa Claus]

Introducing the reindeer

[Address]

My dearest [First name],

It has just occurred to me that I have never told you about my reindeer. Of course, you know all about Rudolph and his red nose. He makes sure that we see exactly where we’re going on our journey around the world on Christmas Eve. But, my dear [Boy/Girl], what about all the other reindeer?

Well, there is Dasher. He’s the fastest reindeer, and he helps lead the way with Rudolph. Dasher knows all the best routes to take, and he always knows when [HomeTown] is coming up. Then there is Prancer. Prancer loves making sure that everything is done just right. He’s also the one that likes checking in on the elves in the workshop. That’s how I know the elves are working on your [Present] today!

Vixen loves to fly and practises new tricks every day. I’ve never seen a reindeer so talented at flying. Did you know that Vixen started flying when she was your age? That’s right, [Age Range] old. She reminds me a lot that you [Achievement]. Our lovable Cupid loves Christmas cookies more than anything in the world. He’ll often have a tummy ache because he ate too many of Mrs Claus’ mince pies. Poor Cupid.

Then we have Dancer and Donner. Dancer loves to dance, while Donner loves to sing. Currently, they are singing and dancing to Jingle Bells. And, finally, we have Blitzen and Comet. Blitzen is the timekeeper. He makes sure that we always arrive at exactly the right time when we journey around the world. Comet is the happy one. He makes sure that everybody always gets along and is happy.

Ah, I really do have the best reindeer. They are such wonderful friends, and every single one of them has an important job to do. And you know what? I wouldn’t be able to do my job and be [Santa Claus] without them! So, my dear [Boy/Girl], I would be so grateful if you could ask [Relative Name] to put some carrots out for the reindeer on Christmas Eve. They really do deserve some treats.

See you soon and please do send [Friends Name] my regards too,
Merry Christmas.

My dear [First name],

The last few days have been very cold here at the North Pole. I don’t mind at all because it means that it’s the festive season. And, after all, that is my favourite time of the year.

When it’s this cold, there is nothing better than enjoying a mug of hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. Mrs Claus makes the best hot chocolate. I must say, I’ve had some pretty good hot chocolate in [HomeTown] too, but please don’t tell Mrs Claus I said that. Ah, drinking hot chocolate is a wonderful thing, don’t you think?

On cold days, it’s also wonderful to respond to letters. Did you know that I receive letters from all over the world? Can you believe that I sometimes even get letters from grown-ups too? I just received a letter from [Relative Name] and heard about your [Achievement]. Mrs Claus and I are very proud of you, my dear [Boy/Girl]. Keep it up!

There is much excitement here as we get ready to celebrate Christmas. Everybody is working super hard. It seems like Mrs Claus never stops baking. She has just put another batch of mince pies in the oven. They do smell very delicious, I must say. The reindeer are working on new flying tricks. Every year, they like to surprise me with a new trick or two. It’s loads of fun. And the elves? Well, the elves are hammering and sawing and painting around the clock. When I peeped into the workshop earlier today, I saw them putting the finishing touches on your present. You did ask for a [Present], didn’t you? I also spotted them finishing the present for [Friends Name]. I do hope you both enjoy your gifts this year.

My dear [Boy/Girl], at [Age Range] old, I am sure you are just as excited about Christmas as I am. May this festive season be jolly and filled with magic and wonder.

Merry Christmas,

[Santa Claus]

Reindeer Flying Skills

[Address]

Ho, Ho, Ho [First name],

It’s been snowing all day here at the North Pole, and it’s very, very cold. Thank goodness Mrs Claus just brought me a cup of hot cocoa to warm my frosty hands. You see, the reindeer and I have been working on our flying skills all day. After all, we want to make sure that we are ready for the journey around the world soon. There have been so many good children this year, and we have many homes to visit. Of course, we will also be visiting [HomeTown]!

Mrs Claus and I just had a look at my Nice List, and guess what? You, my dear [Boy/Girl], have made it onto my list again. I also know that you have asked for a [Present], let me see what I can do to get this to you at Christmas. They heard that you [Achievement], and we all agreed that you deserve an extra special present this year. At [Age Range] old, that really is wonderful.

Did you know that the reindeer practise their flying skills every single day? They take their job very seriously. Mrs Claus always makes sure that they have the most delicious carrots to eat so that they can see perfectly when we fly at night. Carrots are very healthy. Of course, Mrs Claus also bakes special reindeer Christmas cookies for them. They do love eating those. Today, Comet ate too many cookies and got a tummy ache. But don’t worry, he had a little nap and is feeling much better now. Eating too many cookies is never a good idea.

Speaking of cookies, Mrs Claus just brought me a plate of freshly baked ones to dunk into my hot cocoa. I must remember to not eat all of them though. Do [Friends Name] and you also enjoy Christmas treats? Perhaps you could ask [Relative Name] to leave some cookies and milk for me on Christmas Eve, and perhaps a carrot or two for the reindeer. We would be most grateful.

Now that my hands have warmed up again, it’s time for me to get back to work. But before I go, let me be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with Christmas goodness and joy!

[Santa Claus]

Decorating the Christmas Tree

[Address]

Merry Christmas, dear [First name],

Oh, what a wonderful day we had at the North Pole! Today we put up our Christmas tree. What a festive occasion that was.

First, the elves and I selected the most perfect tree. We loaded it on to our sleigh and the reindeer helped us get it home. It was very heavy, but the reindeer have been training all year, so they are very, very strong. While we were gone, Mrs Claus got the decorations out. Now, I must say, my dear [Boy/Girl], the elves were so excited to hang all those decorations up. They love decorating the tree with tinsel and baubles.

Have [Relative Name] and you already put up your tree? I am looking forward to seeing how beautiful it is when I visit [HomeTown] on Christmas Eve.

That reminds me, are you still hoping for a [Present]? I was very happy to see that your name is once again on my Nice List. I am also pleased to say that your friend, [Friends Name], is on my Nice List too. Well done to both of you! It makes me so happy to know that you are such good friends. Friends are very important. I am very lucky to have friends all over the world.

I’ve just heard that you [Achievement]. I can’t believe that you are only [Age Range] old and are already doing so very well. Please keep up the good work.

Oh, no, I must dash off now. It seems the elves have been a little naughty. You see, they enjoyed decorating so much that they’ve decided to decorate poor Prancer too. No reindeer wants to look like a Christmas tree, although I do think he looks quite festive indeed.

My dear [Boy/Girl], may you have a very Merry Christmas, and please remember that baubles belong on the Christmas tree, not on reindeer.

Greetings from the North Pole, [First name],

I am counting the days until I can finally visit [HomeTown] again. The reindeer and I had such a wonderful time there last year. Are you counting down the days till Christmas, too? I hope so. After all, Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year.

Even the elves are counting the days. They love Christmas and making presents more than anything in the world. Although, I do think they like teasing the reindeer and pinching freshly baked cookies from the kitchen too. Poor Mrs Claus never knows where all the cookies have gone! I must say, Mrs Claus is an excellent baker. I may have enjoyed a cookie or two earlier today as well.

When the elves are not pinching cookies and teasing the reindeer, they spend as much time in the workshop as they can. They have so much fun making presents. Every year, the elves look forward to hearing what presents all the good boys and girls in the world are hoping for. When I told them that you would like a [Present], they got very excited. They really do want to make your gift extra special this year. After all, [Relative Name] told us all about you [Achievement]. Well done, [First name], that is quite something for someone who is only [Age Range] old. Mrs Claus and I are very proud of you. Please keep up the good work.

Well, my dear [Boy/Girl], I better get back to the workshop and help the elves. Today we are putting the finishing touches on the presents for both you and [Friends Name]. We really hope you like them as much as we enjoyed making them for you.

Merry Christmas, dear [First name]. May it be filled with laughter and joy!

White Reindeer

[Address]

My dearest [First name],

Ho, ho, ho, what a wonderful Christmas it already is! We are having a jolly good time here at the North Pole. Every day is filled with cheer and joy and all the good things that make Christmas special. Are [Relative Name] and you feeling the Christmas spirit in [HomeTown] already? I hope so!

The elves have been hammering, sawing and painting around the clock. They are creating the most amazing presents this year. I am looking forward to sharing these gifts with all the good children around the world. Are you still hoping for a [Present]? I saw the head elf working on your special gift yesterday and he said if you continue to be good we will be delivering a present for you and also for [Friends Name]. I do hope you both like your presents.

The reindeer have been a bit silly today. They were playing hide and seek in Mrs Claus’ pantry. Prancer was running around like crazy and crashed into the big sacks of flour. Don’t worry, he didn’t hurt himself. His antlers got hooked on the bags, though, and he got covered in white flour. Poor Prancer got such a fright and ran out into the woods. He didn’t like being a white, flour-coated reindeer one bit! The elves had to go search for him and bring him home. Mrs Claus ran him a big bubble bath, and now Prancer is back to his normal brown reindeer colour again.

My dear [Boy/Girl], I am having such a good time writing you a letter, but I must get back to polishing my boots soon. Before I go though, I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. Mrs Claus told me all about [Achievement], this is so lovely to hear for someone that is already [Age Range] old!

Merry Christmas, dear [First name], may it be filled with joy and laughter.

[Santa Claus]

Elves sledging competition

[Address]

Ho, ho, ho [First name],

I have had the most wonderful morning and just must share the news with you, my dear [Boy/Girl]. Can you believe it? The elves decided to hold their very own Christmas sledging competition. It was incredible!

The elves woke up super early and set everything up. They even packed the sledges with Christmas presents to make sure it was a real Christmas sledging adventure. Mrs Claus made sure everyone had some warm milk and a Christmas cookie or two. I may have had a few additional cookies, but we won’t tell Mrs Claus that. When the competition finally started, the reindeer and I cheered the elves on. It was wonderful. Everyone was so happy and excited. I must say, all my elves did really well, and I am very proud of them indeed.

I am also very proud of you, [First name]. [Relative Name] told me all about your [Achievement]. At [Age Range] old that truly is a fantastic achievement. Well done! I am happy to tell you that you are once again on my nice list. Are you still hoping for a [Present]? That reminds me, I must check with the elves to see if they have started making [Friends Name] a present already. I will ask them as soon as they wake up from their nap. At the moment they’re fast asleep in front of the fireplace. After all, sledging competitions are very hard work.

Speaking of hard work, there is much to do till Christmas, so let me get back to it. But first, I think, I’ll see if Mrs Claus has any of those delicious Christmas cookies left over.

I am looking forward to visiting you in [HomeTown] soon, my dear [Boy/Girl]. Until then, remember to spread the Christmas cheer and have a magical Festive Season.

[Santa Claus]

Santa enjoying hot chocolate

[Address]

Merry Christmas [First name],

I wanted to write you an extra special letter to let you know what has been happening here at the North Pole. [Relative Name] told me how much you are looking forward to Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year.

Everyone is working really hard to make sure it’s a very Merry Christmas. The elves have been making the most amazing presents in the workshop. I did hear the elves saying that you were hoping for [Present], please do continue to be a good [Boy/Girl] and I hope to bring this to you this year. Mrs Claus and I were discussing the naughty and nice lists. We are very happy that you, my dear [Boy/Girl], and [Friends Name] are on the nice list again. Well done! I must also congratulate you on [Achievement]. That truly is quite wonderful at only [Age Range] old.

Yesterday, the elves put on a very special Christmas ice skating performance. They have been practising ice skating for weeks. I was impressed with all the fantastic tricks they could do. The reindeer even forgot to munch on their carrots because they were so amazed. It truly was a spectacular show. Afterwards, Mrs Claus made hot chocolate for everyone. It really is wonderful to drink hot chocolate when the snow is falling. Is it already snowing in [HomeTown]? Christmas snow is the best, don’t you think?

I must dash now, my dear [Boy/Girl]. There is lots of work to do, but first, I think I’ll see if Mrs Claus happens to have some more hot chocolate for the elves and me.

I do hope you have the most wonderful Christmas. May it be merry and filled with happiness.

Santa, the snowman, the elves

[Address]

Dearest [First name],

My dear [Boy/Girl], finally I have a chance to sit in my favourite chair and write you a letter. You see, I was outside building the most wonderful snowman with the elves. It was a great big, beautiful snowman, much taller than I am. The elves and I had so much fun, I didn’t even realise that I got snow in my boots. Then again, it is possible that one of the elves scooped snow into my boots when I wasn’t looking. The elves can be very naughty at times. Either way, my dear [First name], I now have very wet socks and very cold feet.

Thank goodness Mrs Claus made sure the fireplace is roaring so I can warm my feet and dry my socks. Wet socks are not fun at all, don’t you agree? Mrs Claus said that she would bring me a mug of warm cocoa and one of my favourite mince pies that she has been baking for Christmas. What is your favourite festive treat?

I heard about your wonderful [Achievement]. That is quite something for a [Boy/Girl] who is only [Age Range] old. [Relative Name] must be very proud of you. Well done [First name], keep up the good work. I also heard about how lovely you are to [Friends Name]. It is very important to be nice to the people around you, oh and you should never scoop snow into your friend’s boot!

My socks are almost dry and I need to head to the workshop soon. We have been working on the most wonderful [Present] for you. I must say, I am looking forward to when the reindeer and I can travel to [HomeTown] so that I can leave your special present under the tree for you, as long as you continue to be a good [Boy/Girl].

You really have been such a good [Boy/Girl] this year. I will see you soon, [First name], and may you have a very Merry Christmas.

[Santa Claus]

Santa Delivering Letters

[Address]

My dear [First name],

What a wonderful morning it has been! You see, the post box here at the North Pole almost burst because it had so many letters in it. I have never seen so many letters arrive all at the same time. Thank goodness the elves helped me carry them back to the workshop. I would have never been able to do it on my own. They helped me pile the bags of letters next to my favourite chair in front of the fireplace. Mrs Claus promised to bring me a mug of warm milk while I sit down to read and respond to them all.

Getting letters from all the good boys and girls all over the world makes me incredibly happy. But did you know that I also get letters from grown-ups too? [Relative Name] sent me a letter telling me what a good [Boy/Girl] you have been. I also heard all about your [Achievement]. What fantastic news that is, especially since you are only [Age Range] old. Well done, [First name], well done indeed.

At the North Pole, the reindeer have been working on their flying skills. They are also eating lots of carrots to build up their strength for Christmas Eve. They need all the extra strength because we have so many presents this year.

Mrs Claus and I are delighted by how many good children are on my nice list, and this includes you, well done, everyone on my nice list deserves a special present. The elves have to work extra hard in the workshop to get them all done. The head elf told me that they are working on the presents for all the children in [HomeTown] today. There is even something special for [Friends Name]. Are you still hoping for a [Present]? Well, my dear [First name] remember to keep being a good [Boy/Girl] and your wish will come true.

May you have a very happy Christmas,

[Santa Claus]

Countdown to Christmas

[Address]

Dearest [First name],

It has been a busy few weeks here at the North Pole. Christmas is approaching fast, and things are getting very exciting. The reindeer have been practising their flying skills every day. It is quite remarkable how fast they are. I think it may be the delicious carrot cookies Mrs Claus has been baking for them. They do love the taste of carrot very much and, of course, Mrs Claus is an excellent baker.

Mrs Claus has been baking around the clock. There are so many cookies and mince pies and fruitcakes to bake. After all, children and adults around the world love Christmas treats! I must say, Santa-shaped Christmas cookies are my favourite. What about you, [First name]? What is your favourite Christmas treat?

The elves have also been working very hard to get all those presents ready. You see, this year, my nice list is exceptionally long. There have been so many good boys and girls all over the world. I am happy to see that both you and [Friends Name] have made it onto my nice list yet again. I heard all about your [Achievement]. That is excellent for a [Boy/Girl] of only [Age Range] old. Well done, [First name]! Everyone at the North Pole is incredibly proud of you. [Relative Name] told me that you are hoping for a [Present] this Christmas. If you promise to keep being a good [Boy/Girl], there may be a special present for you under the tree this year.

There is still much to do, but it’s also important to remember the Christmas spirit. Tonight, the elves, the reindeer, Mrs Claus and I will sing Christmas carols and tell stories of all the wonderful Christmas celebrations we have had. I will tell the story of how I visited [HomeTown] last year. I remember all the beautiful Christmas trees with their twinkling lights on. Christmas really is such a wonderful time of the year.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas,

[Santa Claus]

A day at The North Pole on white

[Address]

Dear [First name],

What a day it has been here at the North Pole! The snow has been coming down thick and fast, so me and the elves have been getting up incredibly early to clear out the drive for the reindeer. Donner and Blitzen love to practice pulling the sleigh around the hills, especially when the ground is thick with a fresh coating of sparkling white snow.

Once we have opened the reindeer pen and they have dashed off into the hills, it is time to open the workshop. Around this time of year, the elves are so excited to get to work they are already lined up at the doors when I get there! Each day we start by reading out any new names that have appeared on the Nice List overnight, so we can get working on the perfect presents right away.

Now I’m writing this letter to you because this morning I saw your name at the top of the Nice List and I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. Your [Relative Name] let me know that you have been an extra good [Boy/Girl] this year, and it really warms my heart to hear about all of the ways you’ve earned your place on the Nice List. Like how kind you have been to [Friends Name], and how much cheer you have shared throughout the year! Not only that, but you [Achievement]. I had to tell Mrs Claus about that because I was so impressed and let me tell you she could not believe that a [Age Range] old could have achieved something so wonderful.

It truly is the best part of our life here in the North Pole, sharing stories of all the amazing girls and boys in the world and knowing that our hard work will bring some extra joy to your Christmas days. I spent the whole morning wondering what the best way to make you smile on Christmas morning could be, and it was only when I was in the stables sharing some cookies with the reindeer that I had a brilliant idea. A [Present], I was so eager to start working on it with the elves that I let Dasher and Dancer finish off my cookies.

As each day goes by, we get more and more excited for our trip around the world on Christmas eve, and now I know that we will be making a special visit to [HomeTown] I can’t wait to get started. I wonder if it will be snowing there this year?

Well [First name], it is time for me to go and get some rest for another day of festive preparations tomorrow. I am ever so proud of you this year, and I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas full of cheer and love.

A day at The North Pole with Santa

[Address]

Dear [First name],

What a day it has been here at the North Pole! The snow has been coming down thick and fast, so me and the elves have been getting up incredibly early to clear out the drive for the reindeer. Donner and Blitzen love to practice pulling the sleigh around the hills, especially when the ground is thick with a fresh coating of sparkling white snow.

Once we have opened the reindeer pen and they have dashed off into the hills, it is time to open the workshop. Around this time of year, the elves are so excited to get to work they are already lined up at the doors when I get there! Each day we start by reading out any new names that have appeared on the Nice List overnight, so we can get working on the perfect presents right away.

Santa Special COVID-19 Letter

[Address]

Dear [First name]

What a year it has been! In the last twelve months I have seen such courage and kindness spread throughout the world that the Nice List is longer than it ever has been. It seems like every boy and girl has faced any challenges the year has thrown at them with such creativity and an open heart, and as we lead up to Christmas I just know we are going to have the best one yet after all of our hard work.

[Relative Name] has told me all about the different things you have been doing this year, and how you and [Friends Name] have been exploring all sorts of new ways to be the best of friends. Well there have been all the fun things to try online, like video calls, art classes, and even PE! Me and the elves have been spending lots of time in our bubble learning new things too over this period.

Mrs Claus helped me put up a big rainbow in our windows, so all the amazing doctors and nurses of Lapland could see how thankful we are for their hard work. We know it has been super busy at Happy Holiday Hospital, but they have been doing a great job, just like all of the key workers in [HomeTown]. They are not the only ones who have been working hard this year – I heard that you [Achievement], what a clever [Boy/Girl] you are!

I think the perfect way to round off this year will be sharing our festive cheer together over Christmas day, and I have been working around the clock to get all of the presents ready for the big delivery. I know that you would like a [Present] this year, please promise me to continue to be good and I will make sure I deliver it to you, it is such a perfect gift for a [Age Range] old, like you.

With love, and pride for everything we have achieved together this year,

[Santa Claus]

[Address]

Dear [First name]

I have just got in from the workshop to have a cup of tea and a slice of Mrs Claus’ famous delicious Christmas cake and I thought I would sit down for a moment and open all of the letters I have received from the lovely children from [HomeTown] – there are so many, I don’t know where to start!

Mrs Claus is busy baking some yummy mince pies for the elves while they are working, mmm they smell so good! She is such a good friend to the elves, as are you and [Friends Name], it is great to see your friendship together. She just told me all about [Achievement], wow – I am extremely impressed, you are such a clever [Boy/Girl], keep it up! It is wonderful to watch you growing up and [Age Range] old is an incredibly special age. Because of this I can also confirm you have made it onto the Nice List, well done.

Christmas is not just about presents, it is all about family and friends too, you are so lucky to have such special people in your life, especially [Relative Name], who loves you so much. You have been so good this year, me and the elves are going to try very hard to get the [Present] to you, but you must carry on being as good as you have been.

Well [First name], I must dash. I have promised Mrs Claus I will help to bake the special treats for the reindeers using her top-secret recipe.

I wish you the most magical Christmas and remember to get an early night on Christmas Eve. Please make sure to leave a carrot for the reindeer please, because you know how much they love them, and I do not mind a treat for myself either.

Have fun and be merry

[Santa Claus]

Santa heading down the chimney

[Address]

Ho, Ho, Ho from the North Pole!

Well, young [First name], can you believe it is that exciting time of year again already? It does not seem like five minutes since I last visited your lovely home in [HomeTown]. I remember your twinkling, welcoming tree like it was yesterday – thank you for the tasty treats! It is hungry work, delivering all those gifts around the world. I think I still have a little bump on my head because I accidentally entered your house headfirst; I was so eager to get in and leave your presents. Silly [Santa Claus]!

The North Pole is a magical place right now: the sparkly white snow is glittering down gently and all the elves are gossiping about who’s been naughty and who’s been nice; don’t worry, [Relative Name] have great things to say about you and I am pleased to say you are on the Nice List.

Now, I have been tipped a wink that you have been an especially good [Boy/Girl] this year. As well as being good, I hear you have been playing nicely with [Friends Name] too and that you have done well with [Achievement]. Believe me, not all children of [Age Range] old are as kind and respectful as you are. Mrs Claus and I love those qualities - keep that up next year! Bravo from all at the North Pole! Everyone is proud of you. In fact, everyone agrees you deserve a special reward and we have the perfect gift right here: a magnificent [Present] with your name on it, ready to pack onto the sleigh!

So, dear child, I need to go and get myself ready now to set off in good time. It is time to pull on my warm boots, find my spectacles and slip on my trusty red jacket. Oh dear, I hope I can still fasten it after all the mince pies I have been eating… Remember, you need to be sleeping soundly when I arrive. Hang up that stocking and go to bed early. If you want to leave me some cookies and milk, I would not say no. Squeeze those eyes tight shut. Before you know it, you will hear the tinkling of sleigh bells in your deep, sweet dreams. When you wake up on Christmas morning, I will have been and gone … hopefully without bumping my head this time!

Have a wonderful, whimsical day, filled with joy, laughter, and kindness.

Santa preparing presents in his sack

[Address]

Dear [First name],

It is mighty cold here at the North Pole, but Mrs Claus has made sure we all have mugs of hot milk to keep us warm and toasty. Is it cold in [HomeTown] yet? I do hope [Relative Name] makes you a mug of hot milk too, and maybe even a batch of freshly baked cookies. If you have some cookies left by Christmas Eve, the reindeer and I would be most grateful if you could leave some out for us. Delivering presents all over the world is hard work and it is always wonderful to take a little break to enjoy a cookie or two.

Christmas is almost here, and the elves have been super busy in the workshop. They have also been teasing the reindeer and decorating them while they are sleeping. The reindeer are not incredibly happy about it, but I must say that they look quite dashing with all that tinsel on their antlers. I am not so sure if the elves would be on my nice list, but you, my dear [Boy/Girl] certainly are. Well done for being so good this year and for [Achievement]. At [Age Range] old, that is such a great achievement and Mrs Claus and I are so immensely proud of you.

We think you deserve an extra special present this year. Are you still hoping for [Present]? When I take a tray of hot milk to the elves in the workshop in a little bit, I will check how your present is coming along. I also need to make sure the elves are not teasing the poor reindeer again! That reminds me, I want to tell them what [Friends Name] wish is too. It makes me incredibly happy when I see you are all on my nice list and I hope to see you on my list again next year.

Mrs Claus has just told me that the hot milk is ready so I must get back to work now. Let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas, [First name]. May it be filled with love, cheer, joy, and laughter, and maybe even some hot milk and cookies.

[Address]

Merry Christmas [First name],

Thank you so much for your letter. We are remarkably busy at the North pole at the moment, however I wanted to take some time away from the Elves to write back to you. In fact, the reindeer and I have enjoyed reading your letter and after checking the Naughty and Nice lists, I am incredibly pleased to say that you are on the Nice list! Well done for being a good [Boy/Girl] this year. The Elves are busy making and wrapping all the presents for the children of the world, and Mrs Claus is with the other reindeer giving them plenty of treats!

I noticed on your letter you wrote where you live, and I have noticed that we have quite a few presents labelled for [HomeTown]. The Elves are currently packing them one by one onto the sleigh and I am sure I saw one with your name on it. Although, there is still a lot of making and wrapping to do. I also noticed a present for [Friends Name] too. Having a best friend is wonderful, Mrs Claus is my best friend, please remember to be kind to each other and remember to share, okay?

Your [Relative Name] told me that you [Achievement], which is impressive for someone that is only [Age Range] old. Well done! You should be very proud of yourself; I know that I am. Because you’ve been such a good [Boy/Girl] this year, I’m going to try my very best to make sure you get [Present] to open on Christmas morning. I will go and let the Elves know so we can all get to work on getting it ready.

Have a shimmering and shiny day and I hope your Christmas is as amazing as you.

Santa in his Workshop

[Address]

Dear [First name],

It has been a long night at the workshop, and I have just sat down to have my favourite treat of cookies and milk. I think I have earned it this year because me and the elves have been working around the clock to get all the presents made! Your [Relative Name] has told me that you’ve also been working extra hard this year to get onto my nice list, which I’m so happy to hear because Ive been making a special shipment of presents just for [HomeTown].

This year in the workshop as well as making presents we have been sharing lots of joy and laughter, and the elves have even made up some festive jokes! Maybe you will find one in your Christmas cracker. I know that you and [Friends Name] have also been keeping each other cheerful and being truly kind to each other this year, thank you for being such a wonderful [Boy/Girl]. My favourite part of Christmas is finding out about all the wonderful boys and girls like you and making sure we get the right gift to put under your tree.

Luckily, I know just the thing for someone that is [Age Range] old like you, and I really think it is going to make your Christmas morning magical. You see [First name], I set my two best elves a special project to make a [Present], and since I’m so impressed with you this year I think you’re the perfect person to receive it. Not only have you been a great friend, I have also heard that you [Achievement]. When [Relative Name] told me about that I thought “Wow. Now I know exactly where that special gift is going”! Thinking about you opening it up on Christmas day makes me smile from my beard to my boots.

Well it is getting late, so I am going to say goodbye for now. I can still see my tools by the glow of the fairy lights so I think I can decorate a few more gifts before bedtime. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to get the reindeer in their pen. They are so excited for our trip to [HomeTown] that they keep wandering off in the snow! Wishing you the most wonderful Christmas, full of laughter and love,

Extra Carrots for the Reindeers

[Address]

Dear [First name],

Things have been getting a little hectic up at the North Pole recently. As well as wrapping up all the presents, we have been feeding the reindeer extra carrots to get them ready for their big flight on Christmas Eve. They always enjoy flying over [HomeTown], except when it is raining! They do not like getting their ears wet.

My sleigh has been fuelled up with Christmas magic and the elves have been building toys since last Boxing Day! Did you know that we have a team of polar bears in our packing department? They load all the presents onto the sleigh because some are a little too big for the elves to carry. Our bears are very friendly and love nothing more than to lie by the fire at night and warm their paws.

Pepper, our head elf, tells me that you turned [Age Range] old this year and that you have been a very good [Boy/Girl]. I heard you [Achievement], that is quite an achievement! I am sure your [Relative Name] must be so proud of you. I have also been told that you would like a [Present] for Christmas – that sounds wonderful! I will try my absolute best to have it with you in time for Christmas. What has been your favourite present so far? Mrs Claus knits me a lovely new jumper every year and I can never decide which one I like the most. We should always be thankful for the gifts people give us at Christmas, as each one is filled with love.

Tell [Friends Name] that I said hello, isn’t it delightful having someone so special in your life and I am sure you will be in each other’s lives for a long time to come. I am sure you will be great pals for a long time to come. Remember to both carry on being kind to everyone you meet and spread happiness wherever you go.

I must dash now as Mrs Claus has just baked a fresh batch of mince pies. Yum yum. I will see you on Christmas Eve, make sure to get to bed nice and early. Have a magical Christmas with your friends and family.

Santa loves cookies

[Address]

Dear [First name],

I hope you are having a great time this Christmas. I took a little break to write to you and share a secret, Mrs Claus has been keeping an eye on me because I am eating too many cookies and candies, they are delicious! She got me a couple times with the hand on the cookie jar, but I hid some candies in the pockets of my red suit. I know my secret will be safe with you because you have been a great [Boy/Girl] during the year.

The elves are working day and night to have everything ready for Christmas day, they are so excited! I remember very well your beautiful home in [HomeTown], we flew over there last year, and we will come back this year, it would be great to have some warm milk and cookies. Prancer and the other reindeers are incredibly happy, and they look so funny with the sweaters Mrs Claus knitted for them.

The North Pole is a busy place these days. Boys and girls have been very nice and we are very happy with it! This year Nice List is enormous, and I think I saw your friend’s name [Friends Name] and yours in there.

We received your letter a few days ago and I saw you asked for a [Present]. We will do our best to deliver it for you or something as amazing as you asked. It would be great if you can say hello to [Relative Name] for me.

[First name], I have to say goodbye because the elves need me in the workshop but I would like you to know that Mrs Claus, the elves and I are really proud you [Achievement] and how much you’ve grown, now you are [Age Range] old! I hope to visit your home soon. Please remember to keep our candy secret and do not tell Mrs Claus about it.

[Address]

Dear [First name],

I’ve just popped out of the workshop for a little while to sit down and write to you. Nobody has noticed that I’ve sneaked away because they are all so busy. The elves are wrapping lots of presents for children all over the world, and Mrs Claus is with the reindeer and rubbing some cream onto Prancer’s nose because he bumped it on the ceiling when he was practising his flying manoeuvres. Don’t worry – it doesn’t hurt – but he does look a little bit silly!

Talking of presents, there’s a big pile of them in the workshop beside the Christmas tree, and I noticed some of the labels said [HomeTown]. That’s where you live, isn’t it? There are a few more presents to add to the pile before they get loaded onto the sleigh, and one of those is for you. There’s one for [Friends Name], too. I’m so happy you have a best friend. Please carry on being kind to each other, won’t you?

Your [Relative Name] told me what a special [Boy/Girl] you’ve been this year, and I think it’s wonderful that you [Achievement] at just [Age Range] old. I’m so proud of you! In fact, I’m so proud, that I’m going to try my very best to make sure you receive a [Present] this year, because I’ve heard that’s what you’d like the most. Oh! That reminds me… I must get back to the elves and let them know. I do hope I catch them in time!

Sending you a special sprinkling of stardust, and hoping your Christmas is full of fun and happiness,

[Address]

Dear [First name],

We’re very busy here at the North Pole, getting ready for Christmas. Mrs Claus is feeding the reindeer, the elves are making lots of toys for boys and girls all over the world, and I’m drying my boots in front of the fire because one naughty elf thought it would be funny to put snowballs in them. I don’t know which one it was, but I will find out! Has it snowed in [HomeTown] yet? Make sure you wrap up nice and warm if it does, and don’t put snowballs in anybody’s boots. Having soggy socks is horrible!

Your [Relative Name] told me what a good [Boy/Girl] you’ve been this year, and all about [Achievement], which makes me very happy indeed. Well done! I’ve also been told that you’d like a [Present] for Christmas, which I think is a perfect present for someone that is [Age Range] old. If you promise to keep up the good work, I will do my very best to get it to you on Christmas Eve. Make sure you get to bed nice and early, and don’t forget to listen for the tinkling of sleigh bells when the stars come out.

I’m so pleased to hear that you and [Friends Name] are playing nicely together. It’s so important to be kind to each other. On Christmas Eve perhaps you’ll be kind enough to leave out a little snack for me or the reindeer to nibble on when we visit your home. That would be wonderful! They love to munch on carrots, but I’d much rather have a mince pie or a cookie. Mrs Claus had to make me a new pair of trousers this year because I ate so many cookies last Christmas that I couldn’t do them up.

Well, [First name], I must go, Wishing you a wonderful, sparkly Christmas, full of fun and laughter,

[Address]

Dear [First name],

We’ve had a very busy morning here in the North Pole. Mrs Claus has been making Christmas crackers, and the elves have been making some new, shiny decorations for the Christmas tree. Do you have one this year? I do hope so. Last year, we all thought your tree was one of the prettiest ones in [HomeTown]! The reindeer have been busy as well… they’ve all been having some extra landing lessons. They do come down with a bit of a bump sometimes! I hope they don’t wake you up when we deliver your present on Christmas Eve.

Talking of presents, your [Relative Name] told me you’re hoping for a [Present]. Did you know that only the very best boys and girls get a place on my nice list? Well, I think you may be in luck because I’ve heard you’ve been an extra special [Boy/Girl], so well done! The elves told me all about [Achievement], too, and we’re very proud of you. Keep up the good work!

I can’t believe you’re [Age Range] old already! You’ve grown so quickly, just like [Friends Name] has. Isn’t it wonderful to have a best friend? I have a feeling that you’ll be friends for a very, very long time, especially if you’re kind and look after each other. That’s very important, you know.

Well, [First name], I must go… I need to shovel the snow from the doorstep, give my boots a polish, and brush my beard. It does get awfully tangled if I don’t take care of it every day.

I hope you have a spectacular Christmas. Don’t forget to leave a carrot out for your favourite reindeer!

[Address]

Dear [First name],

How are you my dear [Boy/Girl]? I do hope you’re feeling well and are excited for Christmas. It may be busy here as we prepare for the big day, but it is my absolute favourite time of year. It’s also been made even more wonderful because of our record number of children on the nice list, including your friend, [Friends Name]. Of course, that means the elves must work harder to get all the gifts made in time. Mrs Claus and I have had to give them extra candy canes to provide the energy to work extra hours.

A little birdie told us that you would like a [Present] for Christmas. The elves are currently preparing all the gifts for the children of the world. While even I can’t guarantee this, if you promise you’ll be a good child for the remainder of the year, we’ll try our best to deliver one to you in your home in [HomeTown].

Here in the North Pole, the snow is falling fast. Just yesterday all our reindeers were snowed in for a few hours. Don’t worry though. Me and the grand elf got our shovels and dug the reindeers out. By the time we were finished the stars were twinkling. We’re sure it was a view your [Relative Name] would approve of.

Before I go, I just wanted to say well done on [Achievement]. We hope you’re proud of all you’ve achieved this year, and I know you are only [Age Range] old. Keep up the good work, [First name] and we’ll see you soon.

Dear [First name],

Are you having a jolly, holly Christmas time? I certainly am. I’m filled with Christmas cheer every year and love nothing more than to bring gifts to every boy and girl. Well, the ones on the nice list anyway. Christmas time is a time for loving and giving, so I do hope that you’ve been kind to your [Relative Name] and your friend [Friends Name], after all, they love you very much.

Love is the greatest magic of all. Here at the North Pole we use it to power our sleigh. It is love that keeps our reindeers in the sky on Christmas Eve as they deliver the most wonderous presents. Believe in this most special magic and you will do well.

I see from my list that you would like a [Present] brought to you this year. This is a most excellent thing. The elves had great fun testing these after production and were entertained for hours. Promise me that you will be a good [Boy/Girl] for the remainder of the year and I will do my very best to get one to you on time. No peeking as our sleigh comes flying over your house in [HomeTown], though.

Before I go, I just wanted to say how very proud Mrs Claus and I are of you. You’ve grown into a wonderful, thoughtful child and every day you work hard to achieve your goals. We were delighted to find you [Achievement]. At just [Age Range] old, too! We think you should give yourself a pat on the back.

It’s so wonderful to write to you at this special time of year to wish you the merriest of first Christmas’ from all of us at the North Pole. Mrs Claus and I have waited with bated breath for your arrival since we heard from [Relative Name].

It feels like just yesterday that you were born, and yet you’re already [Age Range] old. You can already [Achievement] which gave Mrs Claus and I a big surprise when we heard about it.

I expect that you’ve not heard of Christmas before, so let me explain. Christmas is a time for love, of joy and celebration throughout the world and of thinking of others before yourself.

Santa Taking Off from House

[Address]

Dear [First name],

It’s incredible to think that Christmas is upon us again. The elves are busy tinkering away in their workshops to prepare all the toys for all the children of the world, including you and your dear friend [Friends Name]. Don’t worry though, we won’t forget about your [Relative Name] either. A special treat is reserved just for them. Mrs Claus just has to get around to doing the gift-wrapping.

Mrs Claus does love animals, and so as Christmas time approaches she takes extra special care of the reindeers, making sure that they get lots of carrots to keep them well-fed and gives them long walks through the forest around our home to make sure that they’re fit and ready to drop off toys to you all. Don’t worry, the reindeers started their exercise extra early this year so they’ll be whooshing across the twinkling skies of [HomeTown] on Christmas eve and if you continue to be good we will hopefully be delivering your [Present].

Mrs Claus and the elves send their love. We can’t tell you how delighted we were when we heard from the Head Elf that you are on the nice list again this year. Although, to be honest we weren’t surprised as you are growing into a wonderful and kind [Boy/Girl]. As you’ve grown in size you’ve grown in wisdom, and I bet your [Relative Name] were as pleased as us when you [Achievement] and at just [Age Range] old too!

Sadly, I shall have to say goodbye as the reindeers are getting a little too attached to our Christmas tree decorations for my liking. They ate some of them last year and had a terrible tummy ache for days.

Farewell from the North Pole.

1st Christmas - Blue

[Address]

Dearest [First name],

We’re frantically trying to get everything ready for your 1st Christmas; there are presents everywhere and merry elves singing merry songs.

I just saw our head elf who tells me that you are now [Age Range] old. I thought that the head elf must have had something wrong with his memory; it seems like just yesterday you were born! I can’t wait to learn more about you over the years and never forget that I am looking out for you will you?

Head elf tells me that your [Relative Name] said you’d been a very good [Boy/Girl] this year and confirmed that you would be receiving your [Present] this Christmas! When I heard the good news I ran to tell all the reindeer that we would definitely be stopping at your home in [HomeTown] this Christmas.

Donner and Blitzen were so excited by the news they flew around the factory and got themselves all tangled up in Christmas lights on the ceiling! The elves had to free them by sitting on each other’s shoulders, forming a tower of elves! Mrs Claus and I were laughing jollily.

I nearly forgot to mention! We received a letter from [Friends Name] too. I am excited to say that they are also on the nice list this year too, just like you.

Tomorrow I have to get up bright and early and help Mrs Claus who is fixing the sleigh, then I have to bake a whole lot of biscuits to feed the elves – it’s been a few days since they’ve had any biscuits and they get a bit silly without them!

Finally, before I put my red pyjamas on and get into bed I want to tell you how proud I am to hear that you [Achievement], I can’t wait to share the good news with Mrs Claus too.

Goodnight young [First name], we look forward to helping you enjoy your very first Christmas!

1st Christmas - Pink

[Address]

Dearest [First name],

We’re frantically trying to get everything ready for your 1st Christmas; there are presents everywhere and merry elves singing merry songs.

I just saw our head elf who tells me that you are now [Age Range] old. I thought that the head elf must have had something wrong with his memory; it seems like just yesterday you were born! I can’t wait to learn more about you over the years and never forget that I am looking out for you will you?

Head elf tells me that your [Relative Name] said you’d been a very good [Boy/Girl] this year and confirmed that you would be receiving your [Present] this Christmas! When I heard the good news I ran to tell all the reindeer that we would definitely be stopping at your home in [HomeTown] this Christmas.
