From the North Pole

December 2026

Dear (the child's name),

Christmas Eve is nearly here, and the North Pole is as busy as I've ever seen it. The elves are wrapping day and night, the reindeer are practising their rooftop landings, and Mrs. Claus has baked enough gingerbread to last us until spring.

I've just read what the elves wrote about you this year, and I'm very happy to tell you that you are on my Nice List. They told me about the time you

I hear you're hoping for

I can't promise everything on every list, but I'll see what the workshop can do. Keep being kind, and I'll be there before you know it, even if you're fast asleep.

With love from the North Pole,

Santa

P.S.

Making it feel like it came from Santa

Write the blanks in a hand they don't know. Ask a grandparent or a friend, or write slowly with your other hand.
Be specific. "Shared the last cookie with Leo" beats "was good". Children remember the small things they did.
Print on cream or textured paper if you have it, and fold it in thirds like a real letter.
Leave it where Santa would: by the cookie plate on Christmas morning, or in the mailbox in December.
