Play Santa Claus With The Christmas Letter

You may be grown up to believe in Santa Claus, but in all probability your kids are not! It is their time to enjoy all the fun of the holidays, believe in Santa and his elves, hang up stockings, hang mistletoe anticipating kisses, everything. It is real fun to see them going about these things. But you can make the fun increase in multiples. This year, when Christmas is just about to strike, self-address a Christmas letter to your home. By name of your child!

What's so special about the Christmas letter? Well, it is enough to say that the letter arrives in the hands of your child not in your name, but in the name of… guess who? Santa Claus! Yes, the child will really believe Saint Nicky sent this letter right from the North Pole. The personalized letter we have here says about how the child has been on good behavior this year and so he/she is deserving of some real great gifts. There's also a thumbs up sign to keep up the good behavior for the coming year. And it is signed by Santa Claus! Now just imagine the size of your child's grin when he/she opens and reads this letter. There's no way this letter could have been anticipated by the kid.

"Gee whiz! Momma, Poppa, Santa wrote me a letter… Santa from the North Pole wrote me a letter…" This is what the child is probably going to say, all starry eyes and all, and maybe run out into the street shouting this out. These are those moments of happiness in the child that are to die for!

The magic of this Christmas letter is in the personalization and in the few but meaningful words that are written. The letter says exactly what children expect Santa would say and it contains the name of the child, the place he/she lives in (that gives the impression on the kid that Santa must really be knowing his/her residence), the names of people the child is close to, etc. All these things are actually put by you, quite thoughtfully that too, but the child thinks it is Santa. Just like the child thinks it is Santa who climbs down the chimney and stuffs his/her stockings with goodies. This letter may very well start another Yuletide tradition, just like the stockings one.

Just try this Christmas letter out this once. It is sure to work. Before kids become wise enough to see through it, try surprising them and surreptitiously record their reaction when they see the letter for posterity.
