How do I get a personalized letter from Santa sent to my child? You have two options. You can do it all yourself, or you can order a personalized Santa Letter from a reputable company.

Do It Yourself Personalized Letters from Santa Claus

Nana’s Corner had its first visitors on December 5, 2007. There were just 5 visitors…one was from Santa Claus. No, not one of Santa’s elves. Nana’s Corner’s visitor was from Santa Claus, Indiana.

The town contains almost a dozen year-round Santa statues. The Santa Claus post office postmarks about 500,000 holiday cards and another half-million Santa letters each Christmas — it’s where the US Postal Service really sends letters addressed to Mr. Claus (Santa’s zip is 47579, in case your kids ask).

Help your child write a letter to Santa Claus as soon as Thanksgiving is over and Santa arrives in the Macy’s Day Parade and begins to visit boys and girls around the world finding out whose been naughty or nice. The letter to Santa Claus can be a simple letter that your child can write. Children absolutely love to write a letter to Santa, but they occasionally need a little parental guidance to pull it off.

Help your child include his accomplishments of the year past and a special list of gifts desired for Christmas into the Santa letter. Many children enjoy getting more creative by drawing or cutting out pictures that represent the gifts they want. My granddaughter, Kaitlin, cuts out the toys from Christmas toy catalogs and glues them to her letter so Santa will know exactly which toys to bring to her house.

Once your child’s Santa letter is finished, simply mail it to the North Pole by December 15. Mail it to the following Santa Claus address: Santa Claus, 1 Candy Cane Lane, North Pole 00001. Don’t bother using a return address, you wouldn’t want it to return as ‘undeliverable’ for any reason. By helping your child write the letter to Santa Claus, you can see what toys and other gifts are on the list which will help you shop and also respond to his letter to Santa.

Next, write a personalized letter from Santa Claus and send it in the mail in response to your child’s Letter to Santa. Create a personalized letter from Santa by directly mentioning your child’s name and certain information about your child. This will make for a much more believable Santa letter. Be sure to make these letters from Santa different for each child in your family. The child will have no doubt that Santa Claus is coming to town after receiving a personalized letter from Santa!

To make the Letter to Santa believable, print the Santa letter on authentic looking letterhead, as this will help to reinforce the believability. Many different styles of paper can be found at your local office supply store but be sure to hide the paper so your child doesn’t accidentally discover what you’ve been up to!

You can add to the fun by getting your letter from Santa postmarked at the North Pole. Simply send your Santa letter inside another sealed, stamped envelope to: North Pole Christmas Cancellation, Postmaster, 5400 Mail Trail, Fairbanks, AK 99709-9999. (It needs to arrive by December 15th)

Many parents add a certificate for being on Santa’s “Nice List” along with the Santa Letter for added effect. Another great item to add with the Santa letter is a Santa Claus coloring sheet. Combining the personalized Santa letter, the nice certificate, and the Santa Claus coloring sheet is a sure fire method for keeping your child believing.

After your child has written and mailed his list to Santa, you may have to be sneaky about creating the Letter from Santa, the Nice List, and the certificate. They need to be realistic looking…remember to not use your usual handwriting or your child will realize it didn’t come from Santa, it came from you!

If you know how to be creative with the computer, you can print them out. Just be sure not to leave the paper or copies around where curious children may find them. Be sure to have everything mailed to the North Pole so it can be sent back to your child.
