A letter to Santa Claus is one of those Christmas traditions that never gets old. It can spark a sense of magic in a child's mind and remind adults that December does not have to be all about shopping. What's more, writing a letter is easy if you approach it as a small, home ritual. In practice, it looks like this: you sit down for a moment, catch your breath and let your dreams take shape on paper.
Contrary to appearances, a letter to Santa does not have to be a catalogue of requests. It can become a shared moment: the parent suggests ideas, the child talks about the past year, and the whole thing takes on a warm atmosphere. It is worth remembering that this is a great time to talk about gratitude and what really brings joy – not necessarily the most expensive things.
If you want the tradition to ‘surprise’ even you, take care of the atmosphere: cocoa, lights, calm music, decorative paper. Suddenly, the letter writes itself.
Elfi suggests a simple structure that works regardless of the child's age. The best letters are short, specific and... polite.
It is worth sticking to this layout:
In practice, it looks like this: choose 2-4 things that your child really wants (not ‘because everyone else has them’) and write one sentence about what was cool in the past year. This is what gives it authenticity.
If you know that everything speeds up in December, start early and make it... easy. Elfi provides a free letter template to download – you can print it out and give it to your child to fill in.
This is a good solution when:
A little copywriting advice: if your child doesn't want to write, don't push them. Sometimes it's enough for them to dictate and you write. The most important thing is that the letter is theirs, not perfect.
There is a simple rule here: the earlier, the better. The Elfi blog advises to send the letter by the end of November at the latest, and if someone lives very far away, even in mid-November.
It's worth remembering: leave yourself some margin for corrections, adding a drawing and... for life, which, as usual, throws up surprises.
Sometimes, the letter sent to Santa is just the beginning of the fun. At Elfi, you can also order a letter from Santa, which arrives by traditional post at your home – with the option of personalising the name and editing the content. The product page describes, among other things, a gold seal, ready-made content to choose from and hand-painted accessories, and shipping can be arranged worldwide (up to 14 days).
This is a great ‘second step’ for parents who want to complete the story: the child sends their letter and then receives a reply that looks like a real keepsake.
CTA: If you want to return to tradition without stress, start by printing out a ready-made template and writing together. And if you dream of a wow effect, consider a personalised letter from Santa Claus, which will arrive by post and stay with you for years.
The tradition of writing to Santa Claus works because it is simple and emotional: it gives children space to dream and adults an excuse for closeness. All you need is a few elements (a greeting, gratitude, wishes and a personal touch), a little atmosphere and to send it in advance. And if you want to add to the magic, you can include a reply in the form of a personalised letter from Santa Claus.
