Tips for Printing and Assembling Your Santa Claus Letters
- Dress up the envelope. Mail the letter from Santa in a red or green colored envelope, or add stickers to the front to make it more special.
- Have Rudolph sign the letter also. Draw or stamp a reindeer hoof print on the bottom of the letter so it looks like Rudolph signed it also.
- Add a wax steal or sticker to the envelope. To make the letter appear more authentic, seal the envelope with a holiday print wax seal or a Christmas sticker.
- Put a North Pole return address on the envelope. To jazz up the letter from Santa, make it look like it came straight from Santa’s Workshop by adding a North Pole return address to the outside of the envelope.
- Put your child’s information on the envelope. Addressing the letter to your kids makes the whole experience more personal and real for them. After all, what child doesn’t love getting mail addressed to them?!
- Include other Christmas printables with the letter. You can add a Nice List certificate to the envelope with the letter to stop the Naughty List fears. Or even have Santa send your kids a beloved Christmas tree cake with an adorable cake tag.
