Free Letters from Santa Claus by Mail
Would your child enjoy a free mailed letter from Santa? Who wouldn’t? A letter from Santa can be so fun to receive. And, here’s a secret. It can be a great way to set expectations for your child as far as what is going to be under the tree on Christmas day.
I used this idea with my boys when they were beginning to have doubts about Santa. It was a great way to keep the magic alive for just one more year. (we all know at some point, they’re going to learn the truth on the school bus!)
During this busy season, I hope you can take time to create memories and enjoy activities together. Kids enjoy these Christmas activities and it gets everyone away from their gadgets for a while.
Please note: This is a list of places of where you can get a letter from Santa mailed to your child.
Most are free, some are worth the few bucks they are charging. But, if you are looking for a Letter to Santa template, I have that in a separate post.
Letters from Santa Ideas
Some of these examples of letters from Santa require planning. If you look at their websites, many of them have deadlines.
If you’re short on time or missed the deadline, don’t lose hope! You can still type up a letter from Santa. Insert a fancy signature using a script font. Then, either take it to the post office yourself to mail, or you can email it to a friend to do for you.
You can exchange with a family so that you mail their letters and they mail yours. This way, the child still receives it in the mail which will increase authenticity.
