It’s completely free – all we ask is that you share it via Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn before you download it.
This particular letter is called “Dropping Off Your Presents” and it’s a good all-rounder; that’s to say you can give it to pretty much any child. In it, Father Christmas charts his journey from the North Pole to your house and tells of the magical happenings along the way. It’s a gentle, amusing letter and we hope you’ll find it useful.
If you are looking for a letter that congratulates a child on being well-behaved all year, this is also an excellent choice.
Of course, you can also still get all three letters completely free from this website – the ebook is simply for the convenience of those who like to use it to read to their children from an e-reader, or even a PDF file.
As you would expect, we’ve included lots of colourful illustrations from the letters and dotted them throughout the text. For those of you whose children like such things, there are also three spot the difference games at the back of the book, for an extra bit of fun.
We have no real idea about how popular this ebook is going to be, but if it turns out that parents like it, we’ll make more. As most of you may know, we no longer create personalised letters because over the last couple of years, there simply wasn’t enough demand. However, we do hope you get some use out of this ebook and that it affords your little ones some magical tales.
To all who purchase it – thank you very much! We’ll feed any royalties back into our business and keep bringing you all the magic we can. x
P.S. If you’re helping Father Christmas by printing our free letters for your children this year, you can always watch this short crafting video to help you get the best out them.
As our site is getting quite big these days, we thought we’d kick off October by posting a list of our most popular Halloween printables. (They’re all free.) Hope you have fun browsing through them, and that you find something useful for you and your family to enjoy.
These friendly rhymes with a witchy theme are great fun to decorate your home with on Halloween. They all say lovely things and are a novel way to entertain any Halloween visitors you might have, especially children. Just print, cut out and hang them wherever you feel like it – on doors, fridges, walls etc – and make your guests smile. They also make great little give-aways for Halloween party bags.
Whether you’re having a Halloween party or just filling up little bags of sweets for trick and treaters, these spooky bags are lots of fun. There are all sorts of themes, black cat, candy corn, witch on a broomstick, pumpkin patch and lots more.
Don’t forget to check off those Halloween chores! Perhaps this monster chore chart will encourage the children to give you a hand. We have a number of other colourful chore charts too, including a Witchy Chore Chart, which is popular with girls.
Halloween bunting is a nice, easy way to decorate for Halloween, just print it out, fold, then glue or staple over string. It’s a good one for the kids to do with you – we find that ours like this scardy cat bunting best!
Our paper leaves are ever so popular, at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Harvest festival or any other autumnal occasion. To get the best out of making ours, you can check out this “how to” video. It was made a bit quickly as we were short on time that day, but it gives you the general idea.
Paper leaves are a fabulous way to bring the outside inside on Halloween.
We love this stuff – it makes our skin crawl every time! You can use it for anything you like. We use it for wrapping up small presents and (perhaps oddly!) to cover tissue boxes when we’re trying to Halloweenify the house. After all, it’s the little details which make for a great party.
TIP: To get the biggest (highest resolution) image of this craft paper, make sure you click on the picture itself, rather than using the PDF button.
These letters were created as a lighthearted antidote for any children who think there are monsters living in their house, but even if your kids are too old to worry about such things, we’ve found that many still enjoy them. They’re written by the same author as our Santa letters and are an amusing read for all the family.
Halloween Tooth Fairy Certificate: Well for brushing your teeth over Halloween
This one’s a great way to encourage tooth brushing over Halloween. It’s a nice little reward for any child who has made an effort to look after his/her teeth.
TIP: Use the green Editable PDF button underneath the certificate to download a PDF you can type your child’s name straight onto.
Okay, so you weren’t expecting a Father Christmas resource in this list, but think again. Halloween is a great time to remind the children he’s watching between now and Christmas – and with any luck you’ll get a special effort from them on the good behaviour front.
This video is for anyone interested in getting the best out of our free printable letters from Father Christmas this year. It shows you how to present your letter tied with a ribbon, a name tag and with a sprinkling of fairy dust. We hope you enjoy making letters for your little ones and that you have lots of fun at this magical time of year. x

A Letter from Father Christmas: “Father Christmas and the Christmas Tree”
Ah, September! The summer holidays roll to a close and with the start of the new term comes our latestnew Father Christmas letter – completely free for you to print out.
If you’re looking for ways to get your child excited about Christmas early, not to mention a little reminder about how important it is to be good, then this letter is well worth a look. We’ve been told by many parents that they like to read our Santa letters as bedtime stories and we think this one is a particularly nice choice for that, as thoughts of friendly talking Christmas trees are nice to drift off to. It’s a letter suitable for boys and girls and we hope they enjoy it.
For further Father Christmas story-letters, don’t forget to keep an eye on our “New” page, we’ve a couple more on the way.
We’ve called this one “Building a Fairy Path” and it is all about how the Tooth Fairy uses the tooth she has just collected (from your child) to help make a white path into a magical forest. The path is much-needed because the trees of the forest have a habit of moving around a lot which makes it very easy for travellers to get lost.
We think this letter is delightful – it’s packed with the usual magic and cute illustrations. Another thumbs up from us to the creator of our letters, Leone Annabella Betts. Like all our letters from the Tooth Fairy, “Building a Fairy Path” is suitable for any child who has lost a tooth and is due a visit. As many of you already know, we ask that you share a link to the letter on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn before downloading it. Thank you in advance to all those who do this – spreading the word is what keeps our little website going.
So what’s next? We’ve got at least one more full-length Tooth Fairy letter coming before the year is out, but now that September is nearly upon us, our attention will naturally turn to Halloween then Christmas. (Excitingly, this year’s full-length Father Christmas letters are being written and illustrated right this minute!) For the next Tooth Fairy letter though, be sure to watch this page, or simply keep up with us on Facebook.
There’s not much other news for now but we hope you have fun with the new letter and that you’ll visit us again soon.
Okay, if you’re one of those people who can’t bear to think of Christmas when the summer sun is shining then click away now! For everyone else and particularly those who like to collect our story-letters, the first one is available to print as soon as you like. (As always with our full-length, illustrated letters, we do ask you to share the link on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn before accessing it.)
Happily for any ultra-organised soul wanting to get their letter printed and finished well ahead of time, we have a selection of letter backsavailable too. If you’re new to this site and wondering what on earth “letter backs” are, they’re decorative designs you can print on the reverse side of our Father Christmas letters, for that extra authentic look.
The new letter is called “Father Christmas and the Pirates” and has been written and illustrated by our usual artist, Leone Annabella Betts. By the way, if you want to keep a closer eye on how this year’s letters are coming along you can follow their progress on her blog. “Father Christmas and the Pirates” is two pages long and is meant to be read on Christmas Morning. It tells the story of an adventure Father Christmas’ had on Christmas Eve, on his way to drop off the presents. It’s charming, funny and full of magic – a beautiful Christmas extra for any child.
Before ending this post, a word about this year’s “before Christmas” letters. The first one should be online and ready for printing during the first week of September and others soon after that. So do keep an eye out!
Now that we’re into August, we thought we’d do a quick round up of any summer certificates we happen to have on our site. Most of them are new this year and all have PDF versions for those of you who prefer to type names/dates on rather than write. We hope you find them useful and that if, like us, you’re in the UK, you and your children are enjoying the summer holidays. If you’re somewhere else on the planet we hope you’re having a good time too, whatever the time of year. 🙂

Paper leaves are a lovely and original way to decorate your home for all sorts of parties and events. They’re especially popular during autumn, for Halloween, Harvest festival and Thanksgiving celebrations, but there’s nothing to stop using them at any time of year.
Watch the How To video to find out how to make yours. There are links to all the printables mentioned in this video underneath it.
Good news for all of you who’ve asked us for scrapbooking paper in the past – we’ve finally created some. The first set is fairy-themed and the second is for Halloween. Obviously, we’d expect the fairy paper to be more popular at this time of year. Here are the links:
For anyone wondering what on earth scrapbook paper is for – well, people like it for all sorts. You can use it to help you craft greetings cards, back photos (before you frame them), make paper chains, wrap small presents, cover notebooks, create colourful origami and of course, in all kinds of collage and decoupage. Basically, the possibilities are endless. One of the children in our family recently used it to wallpaper her dolls house!
Anyway, we hope you get some use out of our scrapbook paper and if it starts to look like a popular resource, we’ll be sure to add more. In the meantime, thanks for your interest and for visiting our site today. We hope you’ll call back soon. x
Our latest letter from Santa to read on Christmas Morning is now available for you to print.
