Santa Letters Come With Video Greetings And Mrs. Claus’ Cookies

Everyone is aware of the holiday tradition of writing Santa letters. It’s been a kids’ favorite for generations. There’s probably not an adult reading this that hasn’t written their fair share of letters to Santa Claus. And when letters are written to Santa, they are crafted with care. If you can, think back to a holiday season when you actually wrote a Santa letter. Think back to a time when you believed that Santa held the key to everything that could make your Christmas special.

Can you remember how important that letter was to you? Although as I was growing up my family did not make an event out of writing Santa letters, my brothers and sisters knew those letters were important. So each year, each one of us would write our own Santa letters. I say letters because we usually wrote more than one. I guess we thought Santa would take notice of us if he kept seeing our names over and over. But for us, each of our letters to Santa was special.

I remember one year leaving my Santa letters in the branches of a small tree in our front yard. I was absolutely convinced that the birds would carry the letters to Santa at the North Pole. Seems I had heard a story about how the animals of the world all play a role in helping Santa at Christmas time. Birds help by delivering Santa letters.

I guess my age is showing now because back then stamps were probably a dime or less and all mail carriers were ‘mailmen’. Once our letters to Santa were sent to the North Pole we would wait anxiously for Santa to send a letter back. The problem was, as I mentioned before, writing letters to Santa was not a family thing at my house, so it was rare that we received letters from Santa.

But on those occasions that we did, it was magical. No matter what the letter said, we knew Santa was aware of us personally. We knew that he cared enough to take the time to respond. Our excitement and pure amazement could hardly be contained.
That was then – which was a long time ago. Kids of today would never be convinced by a letter written by a parent. It just wouldn’t be believable. Kids are too savvy. They have grown up in an era of technology. Most kids over the age of 5 or 6 know how to do Google searches to ‘check things out’. In other words, they are not easily fooled.

The good news is, now you can do much more than simply send your kids letters from Santa. They can enjoy special video greetings from Santa. Imagine the delight and joy they will experience as they watch Santa talking to them from the North Pole!
That’s the advantage of living in this modern day and time. We have access to such technology. Why not take advantage of it? But that’s certainly not all. When your package from Santa arrives you will find it contains much more than just Santa letters. You can get packages that contain one of Mrs. Claus’ Cookies and even some real magic reindeer food. Besides the Santa letters and Nice List Certificates, these packages offer everything a child could want to make Santa’s stop at their house special.
