These are the letters from around the Christmas area of our website which we love the most.  Most are from Santa, but there’s something from the reindeer and the elves too.  Please find them below:

Santa letter for a child who has had a difficult year

Not every year is easy, and this short letter from Father Christmas acknowledges that this year has been hard, and offers hope that next one will be better.  It was originally written with the coronavirus pandemic in mind, but will work well for many difficult circumstances.  We like it because as well as being magical, it’s positive and kind.

Thanks for the carrot letter from Rudolph

This letter from Rudolph serves as an amusing thank you for any child who has left a carrot out for Rudolph.  It’s meant to be read on Christmas Day of course, but why not print a copy now and pop it away so you’ll be ready.  Not every child gets a letter from a reindeer, and we like this one just because of the look of surprise it produces in the morning.

Rules for a visiting elf

With the Elf on a Shelf trend growing bigger every year, we love this printable set of rules.  In case your elf sits on a chair or a table rather than a shelf, this works just as well.  Also, it doesn’t matter what your elf looks like, as there are no elves pictured.

Handwritten Father Christmas letter – The Runaway Table

Our handwritten letters, provided by L A Betts, are just wonderful, and this is one of our favourites, because it gives a sense of how steeped in Christmas magic Santa’s life is.  From spiders who spin words into their webs from tables that go cantering over the hills when nobody’s looking, it’s an enchanting look at his home in the run up to Christmas.  It can be read any time before Christmas, and it’s probably best for older children, due to the small, wriggly handwriting.

Santa Letter Saying Well Done for Washing Your Hands

Like many of you, we were hoping the pandemic would be coming to an end by Christmas.  However, as it’s still ongoing, this short, festive message is a great way to encourage children to carry on washing their hands.  It’s a gently positive letter, written in Father Christmas’ usual chatty and magical tone.  We hope you find it useful.

Father Christmas Letter – Mince Pies with Mum

If you’re a mum, this magical letter is a great way to let your child know you regularly have a chat with Father Christmas.

In it, Santa tells your child that you’ve recently had a cuppa and some mince pies with him, and that you’ll likely be seeing him again before the big day.  We love how it makes parents part of the magic.

Father Christmas Letter – Mince Pies with Dad

If you’re a dad, this magical letter is a great way to let your child know you regularly have a chat with Father Christmas.

In it, Santa tells your child that you’ve recently had a cuppa and some mince pies with him, and that you’ll likely be seeing him again before the big day.  We love that it makes parents part of the magic.
