What to put in it

Name one or two real things from the child’s year: a kindness, something they learned, something hard they kept trying at. News only the family could know is what makes the letter feel as if the elves were watching. Keep it short enough for the child to read, or to hear read aloud.

The fill-in-the-blanks letter

Clear the letter and keep only the name, or clear everything, and the sheet prints Santa’s sentences with lines to finish by hand: what the elves were proud of, what the child has been learning, and a Christmas wish. Disguise your handwriting with capitals, or ask another grown-up to write it.

A reply to their letter

If your child posted a letter to Santa, this is the answer to give back. The US Postal Service puts letters on its Operation Santa website for strangers to adopt, and it does not promise that every letter is posted or answered, so a reply from home makes sure one comes. Print it on cream paper or card, fold it in three and leave it by the stockings or in the mailbox.
