Merry Christmas… the Santa Letters

December 2nd, 2008

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.
