For many of us, writing a letter to Santa was the first letter we ever wrote as children. Christmas is a pivotal time in a kid’s life because Santa knows if you’ve been naughty or nice. Good kids get rewarded with things they want. I bet you’ve been good this year. But, how will Santa know what good kids want unless they write him? How can you make sure you stand out from the crowd and he gives you that ultimate present you’ve been eyeing all year?
Besides exemplary behavior, you can add a little pizazz and pop of color to your letter. Pick out unique stationary, festive envelopes and top them off with holiday stamps. An eye-catching piece of mail won’t be lost or forgotten by Santa. A little elf told me he appreciates the effort. You can also ask Santa few questions about Mrs. Claus, the reindeer or the North Pole and he just may reply!
Make sure Santa gets your letters in time. As well as other loved ones, such as family and friends, of course. Shipping Guidelines & Deadlines:
