If your children want to send a letter to Santa, there are
two choices - either send a letter by snail mail or send an
email. Follow these simple steps and you'll be on your way
in no time!
!! Steps !!
* Prepare early. When the Christmas rush begins, it can be easy to
overlook sending Santa's letter on time. Doing it early can help
you learn what your child is hoping to get for Christmas and gives
your child something else to look forward to.
Help your children write the letter if needed. If they don't know
what to write, suggest that they say hello and hope that Santa is
well, introduce themselves, and let Santa know what gifts they're
hoping to get this year (leaving them to decide how vague or
detailed a list they care to make). Try to make it an exercise in
being polite, organized, and learning that we don't always get what
we ask for. This is better than going on about being a "good boy or
girl" which is both subjective and open to misinterpretations by
the child about his or her own worth if they don't get what they
asked for.
* Read through the letter in case there is anything that doesn't
make sense. Have your child correct anything that doesn't make
sense but don't worry about spelling or grammar errors.
Choose how you'll send the letter. The method of sending will
impact the method of its creation.
* If you're sending the letter by snail mail, have your child write
it on paper and place the letter in the envelope. Let your child
decorate the envelope if he or she wishes to do so.
* If you're sending it online, you will need to type the letter into
the online form. If your child needs help with this, pull up
another chair and have him or her sit next to you as you type;
otherwise, just have them type and ask for you to check it before
they submit. (This also gives you a good opportunity to take a
screenshot for a keepsake.)
Prepare the Santa letter for sending. The following steps outline
how to post the letter and how to email it.
Send it by post. Write the following address on the envelope:
* Santa Claus, Arctic Circle, 96930 Rovaniemi, Finland. Or,
* Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada
* Post it. A big part of the fun is to have your child place it into
the letterbox. Make a ritual of it.
Send it online. Look for the site "Write Santa Claus At Home" at
http://www.santa-at-home.com/writesanta.shtml. This is a free
service.
* Fill out the basic information needed stating whether you are a
boy or girl and what your age is.
* Under "Send Santa Your List For Christmas" type your Christmas
list.
* Below the text box is an envelope, enter your first name and email
address.
* Once you've completed the envelope form, click on "Send Your
Letter To Santa".
* Wait. Santa will get back to you.
!! Tips !!
* Remind your child to be friendly; after all, Santa always
appreciates a nice letter!
* Take your time, there's no rush.
* Remind your child that it's important to be thoughtful and not to
ask for too much; Santa can't bring everyone everything they want.
* If you're stuck for ideas, look online at store websites. Or ask
for non-material things like health, happiness, and peace. It's
never too early to help your child learn the values of love and
kindness.
* If you left posting until the last minute, the postal service will
very kindly send your child a letter that discusses how much Santa
appreciated your child's letter and how Santa spent Christmas,
with hopes that your child had a lovely time; this ensures that
your child doesn't feel left out.
