Traditions of writing letters to Santa Claus

I believe one of the most passed down traditions for Christmas is children writing letters to Santa Claus. Yes, I was one of the children that wrote the letters and I was also one of the children who left cookies and milk out for him.

When I was raising my brother and sister they too wrote letters to Santa. Often writing the letters would suggest if the child was good or bad, and also they would give "heartfelt" hints as to what they wanted as gifts.

I was watching a Christmas movie the other day and it was about a child who wrote a letter to Santa anonymously and felt this was the only way she could get attention from her parents. It amazes me how the letters to Santa usually are filled with request for electric toys oppose to dolls and trains. But this lens is not about that, it is a resource where children can find addresses to write to Santa and yes, even in these modern days I found an email address where you write to him.

There is still time so if you have not written your letter yet try to do so as soon as you can. Remember to always be polite and say please and thank you (Santa really likes good manners). Do not be disappointed if he does not deliver everything on your list, or if he gives you something different than you asked for. Because the most important thing to Santa Claus is to make sure you do have a few gifts on Christmas Morning. He does try very hard to make your wishes come true, and since you are so polite, your bright smiles on Christmas Morning is the most precious thing to him!!

Hurry now, go write those letters and get them in the mail!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

This Lens was Blessed By: Squid Angel

An Angel Box

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a Brownie or a Girl Scout. But because of finances I was never allowed to join either, not to mention we were never in one place for very long. One time during our stay in a little town; I attended a Sunday School Class and they were having a "Mission Weekend Camping Trip"! I had never been camping before so I did not have one piece of camping equipment, but the people sponsoring this Mission Trip had extra supplies so they had stuff I could use. I cannot remember if there was a charge for the weekend or not, but somehow I was able to go. I earned a little Mission badge to sew on my shirt, and it was one of the proudest days of my life.

When I was exploring around Squidoo the other day, I noticed that Jewelsofawe had written a lens called: The Path to a Mission. This is a blurb in the opening of the lens:

This lens is about my daughter and her mission trip she wants to go on. It will be on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.

She goes to a Christian school and she is trying to get enough money to go to this mission with some of the students at her school. The trip will be in March. She is doing a number of different things to earn the money to go there.
They will be going to a small school on the island. They want to spread the Word of God.

The second I read that opening, it took me back to the day when I went on my Mission Camping Trip. Then my thoughts went to - Wouldn't it be wonderful to try and help Jewels daughter raise a few extra dollars, and what better way to do that then to put up an Angel Box and have Santa Claus spread the word!! The link is: The Path to a Mission If you get a moment, please stop by and take a look at it. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for child for so many reasons!!

Merry Christmas!!
