Letters From Santa Can Add A Magical Touch To A Kid’s Christmas

Letters from Santa are one of the holiday favorites for kids. It’s obvious why. Santa Claus is a holiday hero and icon. He’s been around longer than any of us have and he will be here long after we are all gone. He’s wonderful in the eyes of children and even when we are older and realize that Santa really isn’t at the North Pole – Santa lives on in our hearts forever. It seems that Santa Claus is one way of helping us all to keep the faith in the fact that anything can happen.

Do we all truly, deep down somewhere believe in magic? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe Santa Claus just gives us an excuse to bring out the kid in us and to recapture our youth. Even if only for a little while we can give ourselves the freedom to believe and explore the impossible. What fun it is to let our imagination run wild!

Can you remember what it was like to write letters to Santa believing that he would read them and respond? Can you remember the thoughts that would run through your head as you anticipated the big day – Christmas and what you would find under the tree?

I am always reminded of the Christmas classic, “A Christmas Story”. I absolutely love that movie. It brings back so many memories for those of us that are older and it is so funny! But what about “It’s A Wonderful Life”? In both movies, believing is what makes the difference in people’s lives. Of course there are others, in fact, most Christmas movies are based on believing. And in each one, the belief turns out to be a positive thing.

I may be rambling a little here, but what I’m trying to say is, encouraging a belief in Santa Claus is a good thing. And allowing ourselves to indulge in that belief during the holiday season is okay too. So if you want to get involved in writing letters to Santa with your kids, why not? And when they receive their letters from Santa, let them know what a big deal it is. Take pictures or video the occasion. Speaking of which, with each order of Santa letters your child also receives a free video greeting from Santa.

Santa letters have come a long way over the generations. Instead of them being a quick note written by a parent or other relative, nowadays they are authentic personalized Santa letters that have a Santa stamp and post mark from the North Pole. Not only that, but the packages can be as deluxe as you want. You can even get ones that include one of Mrs. Claus’ Famous Sugar Cookies and a piece of Santa’s suit. The packages also include a personalized Nice List Certificate plus other goodies.

You can get the package of your choice. The point is, you should ensure that you keep the magic in your child’s Christmas for as long as possible. Sending them quality letters from Santa is an ideal way to do that.
