Children love to create and use their imaginations, especially around Christmas time. Santa Claus was invented for just that reason. Writing letters to Santa is a chance for children to use their imaginations. Receiving a letter from Santa makes this experience an even more exciting one for the child. A letter from Santa with a North Pole postmark can put a huge smile on your child's face.

When a child writes a letter to Santa Claus, they expect to get one back. When nothing comes, it breaks their little hearts. As a parent, taking a few minutes to write a heart-felt letter from Santa is just one thing you can do to bring a smile to your child's face.

Take an evening to write Santa Letters as a family. Get out the craft box, with stickers and glitter and markers and make the letter writing experience a fun one for everyone. This can also be enjoyable for you, as parents, because you get to see the true desires of your child's heart and they will be so excited to share this experience with you. Talk to your children about your family Christmas traditions when you were a child as they write their letters. Get them excited about receiving a letter from Santa as well.

After the children have gone to bed that night, or a following night, take a few minutes to write a personalized letter to each child, from Santa. This will mean the world to them and put a big smile on their face! Make sure it addresses some of the questions they asked in their letter, as well as whatever other things they talked about. Be sure the child is thanked in their letter as well, so they feel appreciated. On the envelope, be sure to have the North Pole postmark on it. This can be done on your own, or at the post office.

Some post offices in the United States will put the North Pole postmark on letters to Santa, but you will need to ask them specifically for that with a letter from Santa. They will be happy to do it, especially if you let them know it is for a special child in your life.

Be sure the letter from Santa is extra special and beautiful, because once they receive it they will want to show everyone they know. Their friends will be jealous and you will want to make sure the letter is extra nice when they show it off. A Christmas stamp is a nice touch, as well as a North Pole postmark, that will make the child feel super special this Christmas.

If your child had a hard year, if things happened that were not expected, then a letter from Santa can certainly cheer them up and make them feel better about themselves. This will make their friends jealous and make them want a letter from Santa as well.

If you and your family are struggling financially, this is a small gift that will make the child feel special on that Christmas. The North Pole is a busy place and Santa has a lot to do, but you writing a letter from Santa is a great way to make Christmas a happier time.
