08.04.2024

Christmas is a magical time. A time when children around the world dream of gifts and meeting Santa. One of the most beautiful customs of this period is writing letters to Santa. You can express your wishes and hopes in correspondence, ask for the desired gifts. How should such a letter look? Here are some tips. 

Choice of paper, pen and decorations

The first step to writing the perfect letter to Santa is to choose paper, pen and decorations. When choosing paper, go for Christmas motifs - reindeer, Christmas trees or snowflakes will add charm to the letter. Another thing is the choice of pen or fountain pen - it can be in your favorite color, although blue or black will work best. The letter can be decorated with stickers or self-drawn Christmas trees or stars.

Opening of the letter

Start the letter with a warm greeting. Santa will surely be happy to see you start from within your heart. Examples of letter openings include: "Dear Santa," or " Beloved Santa." The greeting at the beginning of the letter sets a cordial tone and immediately grabs the reader's attention. This is the moment when you can show your joy for writing a letter. By adding words of gratitude for the gifts of previous years, you show respect, and it's a beautiful way to express appreciation for the work of Santa.

Dream gifts

The most important part of the letter is, of course, wishes and dream gifts. Try to express your dreams in a clear and understandable way. If you want a specific gift, name it and briefly justify why it is what you really need. Example: "I would love a new book, because I love to read and want to experience new adventures." You can also mention your passions, interests or goals that you want to achieve with your gifts. If you have more than one dream, it's a good idea to put them in order, starting with the ones that are most important to you. This will help Santa better understand your expectations.

Tell about how your year went 

Be sure to tell what has been going on with you in recent months in your letter, and emphasize your good behavior as well. List specific examples, such as that you helped your parents or colleagues, example: "I tried to be polite all year, helped around the house and studied diligently for school." You can tell about specific situations in which you behaved particularly well. 

Thanks and good wishes to Santa

At the end of the letter, thank Santa for carrying out his mission so passionately. You can also wish Santa happy travels and warm moments while giving out gifts. Be sure to include a signature
