Writing letters to Santa is a part of the Christmas tradition and children really look forward to it with great joy very year. Children enjoyed writing letters to Santa, writing to him with deep hope that he will fulfil their Christmas wishes. Children have been sending letters to Santa for decades.

Children view the occasion of Christmas as an opportunity to receive gifts, hence Christmas letter is written to Santa Claus to address their needs. Letter to Santa Claus are written pleading that they have been good all through the year and placing their desire for good gifts.

Writing a Letter to Santa Etiquette

Usually children start off with Dear Santa or Dear Father Christmas, either of which is perfect. It is usual then to ask about the recipient's well being, so maybe you could ask if he and Mrs Claus are keeping in good health.

Children get so excited by the prospect of Christmas, that letters are usually bursting with list of what the child would especially like to find under the Christmas Tree, However, it is better if you try to think of the top three presents that you particularly would like. And try to avoid saying what you 'want' and tell Santa what you would 'like'.

It is also usual to say why you think you deserve such exciting Christmas gifts. Have you been good all year? Have you helped other people? Have you been helpful to your family?

Perhaps you are worried as to whether you are on the naughty or nice list? If you can think of a reason of why you might be in the naughty list, you can mention this, and explain what you have done to correct this naughtiness.

Politeness costs nothing but goes along way. After asking Santa for a few toys, be sure to thank him for his kindness by saying something such as, "Thank you, Santa, for bringing so much joy to kids like me" or "Thanks, Santa, for bringing me toys every year." Santa loves children who are polite.

Think of others - You may want to include a gift request for a sibling, parent, pet, or friend, after all, Christmas is a time for giving as well as receiving. Maybe you would like to ask Santa if Rudolph prefers carrots or sugar lumps.

In local libraries and primary schools you might find a Christmas post box, where children can post letters to Santa and join in the festive fun. However, if you can't find a Christmas post box, you can address your Envelope to Santa in the North Pole and post it into a Royal Mail post box where it will be taken to Father Christmas.

Writing letters to Santa is something that you probably did as a child and can now teach your own toddler how to do so as well.
