Make Christmas Even Better

By Yvonne Brixey


Most people love Christmas, and most kids love Santa. To a child, Santa Claus is one of the most beloved people across the board. So just imagine how excited a child would be to receive a letter from Santa one year for Christmas?

I remember one year at school I got a letter from Santa, which thanked me for the letters I had written to him. The letter from Santa even had a stamp saying it was from the North Pole. This letter from Santa was one of my favorite things about that Christmas.

When I got older I started writing Santa letters to put in the stockings of my younger siblings. Each letter from Santa bore an "official" North Pole postmark. The joy it brought to each of my brothers was incredible, and I was excited every Christmas to write each of them another letter from Santa.

Now that we are all older, my siblings have thanked me for each Christmas letter from Santa they received over the years. Within each of us, we all want to believe in Santa Claus, and when we no longer can we all seem to take a sort of joy in pretending to be Santa Claus and this is what makes writing a letter from Santa so special.

There aren't any rules to writing a letter from Santa, and it isn't difficult to write Santa letters either. All I did to write a letter from Santa was to wish the child I was writing to Merry Christmas, thanked them for being so good that year, and telling them little things that went on at the North Pole. That was my brothers favorite part of each letter from Santa. They loved feeling like they knew what Santa did at the North Pole each day.

I plan to carry the tradition of Santa letters on in my home once I have children of my own. I know the joy that comes each Christmas from writing a letter from Santa to a child who it means the world to. However, if you don't want to or feel daunted at the prospect of writing a letter from Santa, but want to bring that same joy to a child, you have other options. You can order a letter from Santa online. There are various companies now that offer to send a letter from Santa to your child, and you can personalize them with the name of the child and so on.

If you do want to write your own letter from Santa though, you will likely find that it changes your Christmas experience for the better. With each letter from Santa I wrote, the more I got in the mood for Christmas. Not only that, but each letter from Santa also brought increased love for the person I wrote that letter from Santa to.

Many letters are written to Santa Claus every year. Make a Christmas special and write a letter from Santa to a child. It makes them feel loved, like Santa Claus cares about them, and that's more important than any present Santa could bring them. Even if you just choose to write a letter from Santa once, instead of writing a letter from Santa each year, it is a simple thing which can change a Christmas and make it magical.
