DIY Santa Letters

by funfelt on October 16, 2007

Hi everyone! Every year I’ve been ordering “Santa Letters” for the kids (shhhh don’t tell) and they love them. They all still believe in Santa and I think this is a big reason why. There is a fellow Mompacker , Andrea from www.chocogreetings.com who gave me some great advice for making my own and I thought I’d pass it along. Enjoy this fun tradition with your kids! Thanks, Andrea!

You can write the letter yourself after they make the visit to see santa. this is what I do. just print the letter on christmas stationary here is a link to an image of a postmark from north pole alaska

if you want the official postmark, you have to send your letter to north pole alaska before December 15. what you do is write the letter, print it and seal it in an envelope. address the envelope to your child and put Santa in the return address. place this sealed envelope in another envelope and send it the address in this next link

and be sure to mark for cancellation or something like that on the outer envelope. then problem solved. hope this helps, andrea.
