Merry Christmas… the Santa Letters
Every year, I write letters from Santa to send to the kids. It started with my kids and grew to my kids and the cousins and grew to those kids and kids of my friends and grew and grew.
They’re pretty darned good, too, if I do say so myself. My nephew, Hayden, was talking with his mom, Stacy, and with Griff recently about how he knew about Santa but he couldn’t figure out who sent the letters. “Oh, that’s my mom,” Griff said. Must be pretty good if he was still confused about them.
I send a list of questions to all of the mamas on my list, and they answer the questions about each child. Then, I write a different letter for each kid with personal information. I print them on holiday stationery and send them in holiday envelopes with a return label reading “Santa Claus, North Pole.” A little holiday postage & we’re all good.
And now I’m thinking I’ll share…
If you’d like me to include your child in my list, I’ll be happy to do so. You’ll have to chip in a little bit for postage and stationery, but not much. Or if you’d like to make your own, I’ll post my list of questions for the mamas and daddies and then a sample of my letter.
Let me know if you’re interested.

I did that for my kids one year. I put in the letter about how I (santa) knew that they hadn’t been doing a very good job keeping their rooms clean and I thought that could use some improvement. Boy, were their rooms clean for those last few weeks before Christmas!
That’s always the best part! They always are so surprised at the things Santa knows!
Great minds think alike — I have done the same thing for several years and my list grows by a few kids each year. I send mine to the post office in Alaska for an authentic “North Pole” postmark. I’d love to see your list of questions and a sample letter, as it’s tough to come up with something original after several years.
Oh, wow, you’re really good to send it for an authentic postmark! I’m impressed!
So excited about this!!
I emailed you the questions.
