Tips & Warnings
Use common "Santa phrases" in the letter. "HO HO HO" should be in your response letter from Santa at least once. The letter should also be extra cheerful in tone, like Santa's personality.
Read your child's letter to Santa. This is especially important if your child decides to mail her letter. If you don't, writing the response will be very difficult.
Consider typing the letter or writing it with different style of penmanship than you normally use. This is an especially good idea if your child is suspicious about the existence of Santa.
