Christmas magic: How to create an unforgettable atmosphere with a personalised letter to Santa?

Christmas is a very special time. A time full of magic, warmth, love and unique memories. The golden lights twinkling on the Christmas tree, the smell of fresh gingerbread cookies spreading through the house, the sound of carols - it all creates the wonderful atmosphere. Letters to Santa are also a special part of it all. 

Personalised letter - the way to Santa’s heart

In a letter to Santa, the child not only expresses their desires, but also shares with Santa their dreams, joys and achievements. Imagine the smile on your child’s face when they write their letter knowing that Santa will read it and maybe even write back. This is the real power of personalisation, which we can use to enrich our children’s Christmas experience.

How to create a personalised letter?

Creating a personalised letter to Santa doesn’t have to be difficult. To start with, encourage your children to reflect on the past year. What were their most important achievements? What new things have they learned? What events were most important to them? Then suggest that they write to Santa about it. You can even create the letter together with your child, which will be a great opportunity to deepen your relationship. Personalising the letter will make it special and unique, and the writing of the letter itself is a real adventure for children.

How to write a letter to Santa - short instructions for every child 

Writing a letter to Santa is a beautiful tradition that is sure to provide much joy and excitement. Here are some steps you can take to write your letter:

• Prepare materials: You will need a piece of paper, a pen, coloured markers or crayons and, if you wish, glue and coloured paper, glitter, stickers etc. to decorate the letter.
• Start with a greeting: Every letter should begin with the right greeting. You could start with, for example: “Dear Santa”,
• Introduce yourself: Tell him who you are. You can also tell him where you live so that Santa knows where to deliver the presents.
• Write about how the year has been for you: Santa likes children to be good. Describe what good deeds you have done during the year, what adventures you have had, what hobbies you have enjoyed. 
• Write about your wishes: Now is the time to tell Santa what Christmas presents you are dreaming of. Try to be detailed and specific, but also remember to be realistic.
• Thank Santa: It’s always nice when someone appreciates your work. So don’t forget to thank Santa for what he does.
• Finish the letter: End the letter the right way, for example: “With love”, “All the Best” or “I am looking forward to your visit” and then sign your name.
• Decorate the letter: If you feel like it, you can now decorate your letter. Use coloured pencils, markers, stickers, glitter - whatever makes the letter look festive and joyful.
• Fold and place the letter in an envelope: When you have finished writing and decorating it, fold the letter and put it in an envelope. You can also decorate the envelope.
• Address the envelope: Write on the envelope: Santa Claus Tähtikuja 1, Rovaniemi 96930 Arctic Circle, Lapland. 
• Send the letter: Ask adults to help you send the letter to Santa.

Remember, the most important thing in all this is to have fun and get in the Christmas spirit!

Additional elements to make the letter special

Remember that the key thing here is not perfection, but the fun and enjoyment of creating the letter. After all, it is the creativity, imagination and sincere emotion that is the real value of this letter, not just its final form. Let your child show their own initiative and ingenuity, and create something straight from the heart.

Why create a personalised letter to Santa?

The advantages of preparing a personalised letter to Santa are enormous. For children, it is not only a chance to express their wishes, but above all to establish a more personal connection with Santa. Believing that Santa really knows their story, dreams and joys makes children feel special and important. This, in turn, boosts their self-esteem and confidence. So remember - a personalised letter to Santa is about more than just having fun. 

Summary

Writing a personalised letter to Santa is the real magic of Christmas. It is a time full of warmth, love and memories that will stay in the child’s heart forever. Take this opportunity to make an even closer connection with your children by learning about their dreams, joys and successes. Remember, it’s not about creating the perfect letter, but about the love, joy and magic of Christmas that you pass onto your children. These moments are priceless! Enjoy!
