How To Get Your Child A Personalized Letter From Santa Claus

Besides coming from good old Saint Nick himself, they are personalized for your child which makes them such a great gift. Unlike toys, these letters are "one of a kind" because no two kids will receive the same letter. So if you have more than one child, they would each get their own individual letter that's totally unique to them. One of the key reasons I like these so much is that they're actually postmarked from the North Pole! This key point right here makes the letters even more special for your child. This is truly one of those gifts that they will cherish for a lifetime.

You can even get your child a Santa Clause Letter package with even more for them to enjoy. What can you get with these pages?...

What child wouldn't be happy receiving just a portion of these unique gifts?

All parents love the joy and excitement Santa Claus brings to their child. For many, the best Christmas memories they have are those of Santa. Keeping your child's belief in Santa alive, however, can be a very daunting task. Children are getting smarter and smarter these days, so the same old Santa tricks just won't work anymore. Many children constantly question whether or not Santa even exists.

Every family has their own special Christmas traditions when it comes to Santa Claus, but there are some easy things we parents can do to keep our child's belief in Santa at an all time high. The following 5 techniques will keep your child believing in the magic and wonder of Santa. Don't know the history of Santa? Don't worry, you don't need to in order to use these techniques.

1- Have your child write a letter to Santa. This can be a simple letter written just for Santa, but your child might find they need a little help from mom and dad to pull it off.

Have your child write out a list of presents they want for Christmas that they can put in their letter to Santa Claus. They may find it easier or simply more enjoyable to cut out pictures of their gifts, rather than write them out. Your child might even want to just draw the pictures instead.

Once Santa's letter is finished, mail it to the North Pole for them. Mail it to the following address for Santa, but don't put a return address on it. You'd hate to have it come back as undeliverable.

2- Write a letter from Santa that your child will receive in the mail. Create a personalized letter by mentioning your child's name and certain things that are unique to them. You might mention one or two of the gifts you know they want. If the information is unique to your child, it will make the letter more believable for them. Make sure, though, that if you have more than one child, that each letter is different. Your child will have no doubt at all that Santa will be coming to visit them this year once they receive their special letter in the mail.

"I can honestly state as a parent that the personalized letter from Santa has single handedly restored my son's belief! The look of shock and amazement on his face when he got an 'authentic letter from Santa' quickly abolished any doubt he previously had about Santa Claus."

Go to your local print shop and purchase authentic looking letterhead to print your Santa letter on. This is key to making the letter more believable. No child will believe that Santa would use simple white paper to write their letter out.

If you want to add to the realism get your letter postmarked at the North Pole. Send your Santa letter inside a separate sealed and stamped envelope. Mail to:

North Pole Christmas Cancellation
Postmaster
5400 Mail Trail
Fairbanks, AK 99709-9999
(needs to arrive by Dec 15th)

You might even want to add a special certificate for being on Santa's "nice list" this year. Another item that your child would really enjoy is a Santa Claus coloring sheet. These three items combined are sure to keep your chid believing.

3- Let your child leave Santa some milk and cookies on Christmas Eve. This is very simple to do and if your child sees that you still believe, they will as well. An added bonus is it's a great bonding experience for the two of you. Put the cookies and milk out and let your child write a short letter to Santa.

After your child is asleep, eat the cookies but leave the crumb filled plate out and the empty milk glass. You could even write a short thank you note from Santa saying something like, "thanks for the snack (child's name). I've got a long trip ahead of me, but thanks to you I have an energy boost that will last me until I get back home to the North Pole and Mrs. Claus."

4- On Christmas Eve, let your child sprinkle special reindeer food on the lawn. Santa gets milk and cookies, but what about his reindeer? They need to eat too! You can make a special batch with simple grocery items like oats and granola. Make sure you only use edible items in case your child wants to take a sample.

Before they go to bed, take them out to the front yard with their special reindeer food and hae them sprinkle it all over the front yard.

5- Leave some Santa Claus tracks in your house for Christmas morning. Don't go overboard and stain your carpet! Just leave some dirty boot prints near your front door or the fireplace. When your child wakes up on Christmas morning, make a big deal out of it so they'll notice. This will be concrete evidence for your child that Santa really does exist.

By utilizing just a few of these techniques, you will ensure that your child will be one of millions that writes Santa Claus every year.

Great ideas, but too much to do during the holiday season? I understand. I have a toddler and another one on the way. With Christmas shopping, baking, family get togethers, etc, who really has the time?

1.Christmas trees were first lighted with actual candles, which presented a fire hazard. As a result containers filled with water had to be kept near the Christmas tree.

2.Workers in the construction industry are responsible for the tradition of having a Christmas tree on display at Rockefeller Center in New York City. They are credited with placing an undecorated tree at the site in the early 1930s.

3.Since the mid-1960s, The National Christmas Tree Association has maintained a presence in the White House at Christmas by donating a Christmas tree to the First Family.

4.The former Woolworth department store first sold manufactured Christmas tree ornaments in 1880.

5.Plastic became the primary material used to make tinsel after their use for decorative purposes was at one time prohibited because lead was used in the manufacturing process.

6.The idea of Christmas greeting cards started in Britain in the late 1830s when John Calcott Horsley started to produce small cards that had festive scenes and a holiday greeting written inside. Similar cards were also being made in the United Statesat about the same time by R.H. Pease, in Albany, New York, and Louis Prang, who was a German immigrant. The idea of sending the greeting cards during Christmas gained popularity in both countries about 10 years later when new postal delivery services started.

7.The shortened form Xmas for Christmas has been popular in Europe since the 1500s. It is believed to be derived from the Greek word 'Xristos' which means Christ.

8.According to the National Confectioners Association, for 200 years candy canes were only made in the color of white and it wasn't until in the 1950s that a machine was invented that could automate the production of candy canes.

9.The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day in England and it is a national holiday. Several stories exist for the origination of the name. It is believed to have originated from the practice of boys who would be about collecting money in clay boxes. Another thought is that the term is derived from a custom in the Middle Ages, about 800 years ago, when churches would open their 'alms boxes' and distribute the contents to poor people on the day after Christmas. Alms boxes are boxes in which donations of gifts and money would be placed. Yet another belief is that it comes from a custom of masters giving their servants Christmas presents in boxes on the day after Christmas.

10.Evergreen trees had special meaning in winter to people, particularly in Europe, before Christianity started. Ancient peoples would hang evergreen branches over their doors and windows because evergreens were believed to ward off witches, ghosts, evil spirits and illness. For worshipers of the sun god, evergreen plants were a reminder of all the green plants that would grow with the return of summer and the sun god being strong again.

11.In ancient times, many people worshiped the sun as a god in December because they thought winter occurred yearly because the sun god had fallen into ill health. They therefore celebrated the winter solstice because it was a sign that the son god would begin to regain strength and return to good health.

12.Legislators in Congress did business on Christmas Day in 1789, which was the first one to be observed under the country's new constitution. The reason for the Congressional session was because it had become unpopular then to observe and take part in English customs following the American Revolution. And when Christmas celebrations were barred in Boston
earlier in 1659 to 1681, it became a costly thing to be seen participating in any event or activity related to Christmas.
Anyone caught doing so had to pay five shillings.
