Dear [child name],
I have been thinking a lot about you and hope you're just as excited about Christmas as we are! Mrs. Claus and I know that you have been a very good [child gender:boy,girl] and even heard from your teacher, [teacher name] that [teacher gender:he,she] is also very proud of the things you’ve accomplished this year: [school accomplishment].
Please keep up the good work and I’ll be sure to leave you a special present when I pass by your home in [home location]. Be sure to tell your friend [friend name] that I will be visiting [friend gender:him,her] as well.
The elves are busy in the workshop making toys and preparing the sleigh for my long trip to [home location]. Rudolph is even busy as he has the rest of the reindeer practice their flying.
There is still a lot of work to do before I can visit you on Christmas Eve so good bye for now and I’ll be visiting you soon.
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
Dear [child’s name],
It is December now, and do you know what that means? Christmas is coming! You’ve seen lights on the houses on [child’s street], and decorations in the windows of the stores in [name of child’s town]. Maybe you have thought about asking Santa for [gift child wants], and maybe if you wish really hard and are extra good, [chore child does] and [good behaviour child does], you just might get it.
You have already received the greatest Christmas present of all, it is not in a box and won’t fit under the tree, but it is the most important gift of all. It is the reason we celebrate Christmas. The story of your special present is the most important Christmas story!
The story begins a long, long time ago in a little town, much smaller than [name of child’s town]. This town was called Bethlehem, and it is where the Baby Jesus was born on Christmas Night. Jesus is the most special gift that God gave to you, [child’s name], because Jesus is the gift of God’s love.
And because I love YOU, [child’s name], this Christmas I wish you boxes and truckloads of love!
Merry Christmas!

Dear [child’s name],
It is December now, and with the days getting shorter and the nights getting longer, it is time to start dreaming of Christmas!
What do you dream of when you dream of Christmas? Christmas is so many wonderful things! Do you dream about presents? Are you hoping for a [present the kid is hoping for]? Maybe if you are good and [a chore the child does], Santa will bring that [present the kid is hoping for] to [street the child lives on] when you are fast asleep Christmas Eve Night.
But even though good [child’s gender:girl,boy] like you love presents, Christmas is so much more than what comes in wrapping paper and bows. It is smiles on faces, and twinkles in eyes that shine as bright as the star on top of the tree. It is spending time with family, and sharing laughs with [relatives name]. Tinsel is Christmas, and sparkling lights. Red and green is Christmas, and silver and gold. Christmas is giving, and love is the very best thing you can give.
And do you know what? I love YOU. You and [name of friend or sibling,] are the best presents a lucky [relation of person sending the letter] like me could ever ask for!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
[name of person sending the letter]
Ho-Ho-Hello [child’s name],
Thanks for the letter!
As the Arctic cold here makes my nose even redder,
Warm greetings from such a cool [gender] couldn’t be better!
Things here at the North Pole are going just great.
Mrs. Claus is excited; the elves, they can’t wait,
And the reindeer have practically pawed down the gate!
We’re all looking forward to Christmas Eve Night
When I’ll pack up the presents, and fly out of sight.
You’d best be asleep in your bed, eyes shut tight.
I’ll fly to [street child lives on] once you’re in bed dreaming.
The sides of my turbo-charged sleigh will be gleaming,
And to light the way, Rudolph’s nose will be beaming!
Seeing how good you’ve been gives my spirits a lift.
And a [child’s christmas gift] just might be your gift
If you keep [chore that the child does], catch my drift?
And if you need advice,[Mom or Dad] knows what to do.
They were once a kid, just like you!
They’ll help you learn to make your dreams come true.
Your friend,
Santa Claus
Hi [child’s name],
How are you doing?
Greetings from the North Pole, where cider is brewing
And my special sugar plum stew is still stewing.
My name’s Inga Belles. Perhaps you remember
My workshop. It is quite busy every December
Making hearts glow as warm as an ember.
You are one smart [child’s gender], so you may already know
That I am an elf, and elves do not grow
Up any taller than a [child’s age]-year-old’s elbow!
As Head Elf I have so much to do
I direct Santa’s Workshop, I watch over my crew,
As we make special toys that are shiny and new.
We’re all preparing for Christmas Eve Night
When Santa will drive the sleigh to great heights
To reach [child’s town] while your eyes are shut tight.
And I will tell you what makes us such happy elves:
We always treat others as we want to be treated ourselves.
Much love, Inga Belles
