In the past, I’ve organised some Santa letters for my kids – they liked them so we’ve done it every year. Last night we opened our Love Santa letters and the difference is incredible.
It’s not just that there is the little surprise added, stickers on the envelopes and the craft and recipe ideas are a great idea. Having different letters for each child was a nice change (yet so important for realism to my thinking).
But what really blew us away was the obvious fact each letter is adjusted for the child. You changed the good deed wording I typed to actually fit the letter wording and added lovely comments that could only have been done manually – a truly personalised letter that made my son stand up straight and feel proud of his achievements this year.
I’ve let the kids play with previous letters and never had any desire to keep one. This year’s letters are going in their scrapbooks – and so will next year’s!
Thank you for a wonderful addition to our Christmas celebrations – and this blog of people’s stories and traditions is heart warming.
LIsaJ you have made our day! Thank you for such a lovely message. It is important to us that children receive a lovely Santa letter – I check every letter personally to fix up spelling and grammar (especially where the information doesn’t really fit the letter as it stands) as there letters are very special. Little things (like stickers on envelopes) add to the excitement and our pleasure in giving these letters. Have a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful children.
