or Dear Santa, I was hopin you could spring for a vasectomy for Ken. He and Barbie have been way to BUSY this year-if ya know what I mean. Little dolls are popping up everywhere round here. Oh and some prozac would be nice as well. or
Dear Santa, Bring me some things that I want and not what I need. Instead of of a hot shaver I want a shaved hottie, instead of a new coat, I want a coat of arms. Instead of a bottle of Jack Daniels I’d like a case of jack Daniels.
I really don’t want to mess up my letter to him.
Also should i ask for a Wombat or a Llama?
One of the best Christmas traditions our family has practiced throughout the years has been the Santa Letter. Every year, my children have written their “wish list” to Santa Claus. It started off very basic in the beginning years but gradually became more complex as the children got older. My oldest is now 14…and even though he no longer believes, he still enjoys writing the letter every year to make certain his wishes are heard.
Many things can be learned from a Santa Letter. For the children, it is their basic writing skills, letter development, grammar and proper sentence structure and punctuation. My children made a project out of it. It involved computer knowledge using Microsoft word. They learned to type, use spell-check, open and save a file. They even learned how to insert pictures, change text color and modify font sizes to improve the look of their Santa Letter. It was a great “technology” experience for them not to mention English writing skills without feeling like homework.
For parents, it is a great tool to find out what your kids want for Christmas without being so obvious. You learn all their small and large wishes so you can prepare for your holiday shopping. You may want to start your Santa Letter project with your kids early so that you can start paying attention to all the sales associated with items on their wish list. I would recommend starting the week before Thanksgiving. That way, you can catch the black Friday sales!
Once your children’s Santa Letters are completed and printed, I gathered the letters and let my children know I would mail it for them. Wink, wink, wink. Then, I would order a letter from Santa Claus be sent to them. There are several websites that do this but I liked this one the best….santalettersink.com. They were timely and well written letters. I can choose different stationary for each child and select different letter content for each so that it appears as though Santa Claus wrote them each an individual unique letter.
You should see the smiles on my children’s face when they received their letter approximately 2 weeks later. It was priceless. They were so surprised and excited at the same time. It was truly spectacular. I do this every year and it never fails. They all get excited every time. I would recommend this to anyone who has children.
