Santa Letters For Christmas
Santa Letters For Christmas
One of the best Christmas traditions our family has practiced throughout the years has been the Santa Letter. Every year my children have written their wish list to Santa Claus. It started off very basic in the beginning years but gradually became more complex as the children got older. My oldest is now 14and even though he no longer believes he still enjoys writing the letter every year to make certain his wishes are heard.
Many things can be learned from a Santa Letter. For the children it is their basic writing skills letter development grammar and proper sentence structure and punctuation. My children made a project out of it. It involved computer knowledge using Microsoft word. They learned to type use spellcheck open and save a file. They even learned how to insert pictures change text color and modify font sizes to improve the look of their Santa Letter. It was a great technology experience for them not to mention English writing skills without feeling like homework.
For parents it is a great tool to find out what your kids want for Christmas without being so obvious. You learn all their small and large wishes so you can prepare for your holiday shopping. You may want to start your Santa Letter project with your kids early so that you can start paying attention to all the sales associated with items on their wish list. I would recommend starting the week before Thanksgiving. That way you can catch the black Friday sales!
Once your childrens Santa Letters are completed and printed I gathered the letters and let my children know I would mail it for them. Wink wink wink. Then I would order a letter from Santa Claus be sent to them. There are several websites that do this but I liked this one the best.santalettersink.com. They were timely and well written letters. I can choose different stationary for each child and select different letter content for each so that it appears as though Santa Claus wrote them each an individual unique letter.
You should see the smiles on my childrens face when they received their letter approximately 2 weeks later. It was priceless. They were so surprised and excited at the same time. It was truly spectacular. I do this every year and it never fails. They all get excited every time. I would recommend this to anyone who has children.
