How to write a letter to Santa

When there’s only a few weeks left before the end of the year, it’s time for your youngest children to write to Santa Claus! Prepare this magical moment with them and send the big man with the white beard the list of gifts they are hoping for. Here are some tips on how to write a letter to Santa.

1)     When you write a letter to Santa: be polite

When writing a letter to Santa, start by being polite and courteous. Remember to say “Hello” and “Goodbye” and not just beg for gifts. Instead, think about how the past year has gone so that Santa knows if your child has been good. Let your child write down what’s on their mind (if they’re old enough, of course) and give them some guidance if they need it.

2)     Include everyone

Organize a time to write a letter to Santa with each child. If your youngest children don’t know how to write perfectly yet, don’t hesitate to suggest that they send a letter in the form of a drawing to Santa or a Santa coloring book. Of course, letters to Santa in kindergarten are not always handwritten and the elves working with him in the Great North will adapt perfectly, reassure your children!

3)     It’s your time to shine

When you write a letter to Santa, tell him about your good deeds of the year (your successes at school, the good things you did for others, etc.) so that he knows you behaved well, a sine qua non condition for receiving at least one gift from your list.

4)     Write a “real address”

Once your letter is written, you can take care of the envelope. Write your address on the top left and the official address of Santa Claus in the middle. Just write “Santa Claus” on your envelope, the Post Office processes all letters bearing this mention. But it’s much more fun to invent fanciful and poetic addresses: Santa Claus, Cloud Street, North Pole or even Santa Claus, Starry Way, Milky Way. You can decorate the envelope to match the letter.

All you have to do is take your best pen, a sheet of paper and start writing. When you write a letter to Santa, make sure that the letter is accompanied by a beautiful drawing.
