A reply from Santa that you can personalise: type the child's name, something they did well this year and, if you like, the wish they asked for, and the letter is written around it.

About this Christmas printable
A letter back from Santa makes children feel that their own letter was read. The kindest replies mention something real, such as being patient with a younger brother or trying hard at swimming lessons, so the letter quietly praises the behaviour you would like to see more of. The letter promises nothing specific about presents, which leaves room for whatever Christmas morning brings. Print it on plain or coloured paper, fold it into an envelope and leave it where it will be found.
Tips
- Sit with younger children and let them dictate while you write, then they can sign their own name.
- Encourage a 'thank you' and a wish for someone else as well as a wish for themselves.
- Keep each year's letter in a folder. They become a lovely record of handwriting and wishes.
- For the reply, mention one real, specific thing the child did, such as helping a friend or learning to swim.
