Create Your Own Free Printable Santa Letters with a North Pole Postmark

Even Santa needs a little help! Here's some advice on how to help the Jolly Old Elf send a Santa letter to your little one, complete with a postmark from the North Pole.

Sample Santa Letter 

Copy and paste this letter and then personalize for a quick letter from Santa

If you'd like to create your own Santa letter, here's some sample text you can copy into your own word processor and print on your own paper.

Dear [NAME],

Merry Christmas! The elves and I are very busy getting ready for Christmas, and I'm really excited that I'm going to be coming to visit your home in [CITY NAME].

Have you been a good [BOY OR GIRL] this year? I've been making a list and checking it twice, and it looks like you're on my list of good boys and girls. I'm very proud of you. Santa Claus likes bringing toys to little children who listen to their parents, are nice to others, and do their best in school.

Mrs. Claus has been baking Christmas cookies for all the elves so they have plenty of energy to build lots of toys. Your [MOM, DAD, etc] told me that you want [FAVORITE TOY] for Christmas, and I'm going to do my best to bring you that.

Rudolph and all the reindeer are very happy that we're going to be bringing you some presents this year. Rudolph says he would really like it if you would leave out some carrots and cookies for us before you go to bed on Christmas Eve because we all get hungry delivering so many toys all around the world.

Have a very merry Christmas!

Add a North Pole Postmark to Your Santa Letter 

Everyone knows Santa lives in the North Pole, so of course letters from Santa get canceled at the North Pole post office. And, yes, there really is such a place!

The North Pole, Alaska post office stays very busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year helping Santa's elves mail out all those letters from St. Nick. If you'd like to get a North Pole postmark on your Santa letter, simply put it in an envelope, address it and stamp it as you normally would, then put it in a bigger envelope and mail to:

North Pole Christmas Cancellation
Postmaster
5400 Mail Trail
Fairbanks, AK 99709-9999

The North Pole post office will then cancel your inner envelope with the special Christmas cancellation and North Pole postmark and send it on its merry way.

Follow up your letter with a phone call from Santa 

If you'd like to reinforce the magic, think about getting a live phone call from Santa. Santa Speaking will arrange for Santa to call your child on the phone for a 3-5 minute conversation. You can even get a CD or mp3 recording of the conversation as a keepsake. Ho, ho, ho!

Add a Santa Stamp 

Buy or create your own Santa stamp

Each year the US Postal Service issues Christmas stamps, and these are great to add to any Santa letter.

But if you'd like something special, you can also create your own stamp or buy one from Zazzle. These stamps are genuine U.S. postage that can be used on any package. The drawback is that you'll need to buy an entire sheet, but if they're also great for sending out cards and letters!

Here are some designs available on Zazzle.

Letters from Father Christmas

Each year, starting in the early 1920s Tolkien responded to his children's letters to Father Christmas with notes and drawings. He introduces the chores of packing the many packages, the mishaps of weather and the mischief of his faithful helper, North Polar Bear, to his sons and daughter--whose names are added or omitted from the letters as the family grows.

I don't have pointy ears, curly shoes, or hang out with reindeer, but I'm one of Santa's elves. I believe!
