Write a letter to

Santa Claus       



What would you like him to bring you this year?  
Follow these tips to write a better letter.

1. Get in the Christma spirit. Put on some Christmas music!

2. Sign into your blog.

3. Start your letter with a greeting:  "Dear Santa," or "Dear Santa Claus,"

4. Let Santa know who's writing the letter. Of course he knows who you are, but you need to tell him who is writing the letter because he gets so many letters every day.

5. Ask Santa how he's been. Santa only hears from you once a year, so before you start asking for things you would like, it's polite to ask how he and Mrs. Claus are doing or how the reindeer and elves have been.

6. Tell him how good you've been this year. Tell Santa Claus about some of the good things you've done this year. Have you been nice to your sister or brother? Have you helped your parents by doing your chores? Santa already knows these things because he sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake, but he likes to be reminded of the reasons you should be on his "Nice List."

7. Politely let him know what you'd like. Try to keep your list to the two or three things that you want the most. 
8. Thank Santa for being so kind. Say something such as, "Thank you, Santa, for bringing so much joy to kids like me." or "Thanks, Santa, for bringing me toys every year." Santa loves people who are polite.
9. Close your letter with your signature such as "Sincerely," or "Love," or "Best wishes," and sign your name.

10. Add a decoration (image) to your letter and post it for everyone to see.
