Christmas Eve Box Letters

So, if you’ve found this page you’re probably planning to put together a Christmas Eve box, but if this tradition has passed you by, the idea is that you put together a box of small gifts which can be opened on Christmas Eve.

Some people add a treat for each member of the family, while others prefer a collection of things for everyone to share. Either way, a letter from Father Christmas is a popular addition, especially if it encourages the children to go to bed on time!

By the way, this page is new as of December 2021, and we hope to add more Christmas Eve box letters soon.

Christmas is getting closer and if you’re looking for some festive printables before the big day, we’ve rounded up our favourites below:

Nice List Certificate

This one’s a classic.  Year in, year out, we find visitors like to go the extra hog and download a certificate confirming their child is on the Nice List.  It’s probably best to hand this one over to your child quite close to the big da, because as soon as they know Santa is definitely coming, well, that’s when they get really excited, of course!

Christmas Eve Box Letters

Putting together a box of lovely things to open on Christmas Eve is a fast-growing tradition. A letter from Santa Claus is a popular thing to include, so we’ve created one just with that in mind.

Helpful Mice – A letter from Santa Claus

This is a short but magical letter, letting your little one know that everyone is very busy at Santa’s house and that he can’t wait to bring your presents.  It’s a great choice of letter for a young child, as it’s colourful, magical and easy to read.  If your little one likes mice, it’s even better!

Don’t forget, if you want that double-sided look to your printed letter, you’ll need one of our letter backs

Elf Essentials

One of Father Christmas' elvesThis is a post for all things elvish!

As you might have noticed, elves are becoming more and more popular around Christmas time, so we hope you enjoy our free elf printables.

We hope to add more soon.

Elf Letters

Our letters from the elves are particularly popular in the run up to Christmas, and are a great way of encouraging (and rewarding!) good behaviour.

Are you doing Elf on a Shelf for your children this year?   If so, these letters from the elf in your house might be really useful.  Please note that we haven’t use the exact words Elf on a Shelf though, because lots of our parents like to do their own version of a visiting elf, who doesn’t necessarily sit on a shelf!  So we’ve tried to cater to everybody.
