How to Write a Letter to Santa Claus

Santa is very good at knowing what boys and girls would like for Christmas. But because he has so many children on his list, he could forget the one present your child wants more than anything. Prevent that catastrophe by giving your child these instructions on writing a reminder letter to Santa.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. Ask your parents, or an older brother or sister, to give you a pen and some writing paper.

2. Think hard about what you'd really love to find under your tree on Christmas morning.

3. Begin your letter "Dear Santa." (This is called a salutation.)

4. Tell him you've been very good all year. (He knows this already, but it never hurts to remind him.)

5. Ask him to please bring you the presents you'd like. (Don't forget the "please." Santa likes children with good manners.)

6. Start with the one or two things you want the most, then mention others that would be nice but that don't matter as much.

7. Remind Santa of presents your older brothers or sisters might like ' especially if you know they're not writing letters of their own.

8. Thank Santa for being so generous.

9. Write a closing such as "Love" or "Sincerely" and sign your name.

10. Give the letter to your mother or father to mail for you.

Tips & Warnings

• Even though he works so hard, Santa looks jolly all the time because giving things to people is fun. Try it yourself. Make presents for your family and friends. (Ask your parents or teachers to help.)

• It's also fun to give to people you don't know. Find some toys you don't play with anymore and ask your parents to give them to a charity.
