Playing with the reindeers with Santa

[Address]

Ho, ho, ho, dear [First name],

Isn’t the festive season just the best time of the year? Oh, we sure do love it here at the North Pole. Of course, we work very hard all year round to make sure the good boys and girls all over the world get presents for Christmas. After all, the children work hard the whole year too. [Relative Name] told me all about your [Achievement]. Well done, my dear [Boy/Girl], you really do deserve a [Present] under the tree this year. But, you know, with all that hard work, it’s important to play too. I know that [Friends Name] and you always have fun playing and that makes me very happy indeed.

We’ve been having the most wonderful day filled with fun and games here too. The reindeer showed the elves all their new flying tricks. They even took some of the elves on little flights all over the North Pole. They flew up and down and in circles. The reindeer flew upside down with poor little Poppy, the elf. Boy, she got so dizzy, she had to sit down and sip cocoa for at least 20 minutes. Dizzy or not, Poppy said she hadn’t had this much fun in ages and asked the reindeer to take her on another trip! Prancer wanted to take Mrs Claus flying, but she said that she’d rather stick to making Christmas pudding. Mrs Claus doesn’t like flying one bit, but luckily, I love flying with the reindeer. And, of course, we’ll be making a stop in [HomeTown] soon.

My dear [First name], I must run now and see if all the reindeer and elves are back from their flying adventures. Mrs Claus has baked a pie, and I’m sure they’re all very hungry by now. Before I go, I also wanted to thank you for the beautiful letter. I can hardly believe you’re already [Age Range] old. You really are growing up so fast.

May you have the merriest of seasons, and may your days be filled with laughter and joy.

Merry Christmas, [First name],

Here at the North Pole, we’re in full Christmas swing. Mrs Claus has been baking mince pies around the clock. Do [Friends Name] and you also like mince pies as much as I do? You know, even the reindeer love mince pies. Mrs Claus makes sure they don’t eat too many, but I tell her they need all the strength they can get for their upcoming trip around the world.

The reindeer are so excited about this year’s trip. They’ve heard all about how festive [HomeTown] is looking, and they can’t wait to visit! As I’m sure you can imagine, Christmas is their favourite time of the year. They spend the entire year preparing for it, and they eat as well as they can. Well, except for all those mince pies. They also practise flying at least three times a day. studying the best flying routes, with Prancer also working on his landing technique. It really is quite an extraordinary achievement. With all that hard work, they sure would appreciate it if you could leave some carrots or even some cookies out for them on Christmas Eve. They really have earned it!

Speaking of achievements, Mrs Claus and I were especially pleased to hear about your [Achievement]. For a [Boy/Girl] who is only [Age Range] old, that really is quite remarkable. I’m sure [Relative Name] is just as proud of you as we are. Please, do keep up the good work! I’ve made sure to put your name on the Nice List and will do my very best to see about that [Present] you were hoping for.

Well, I better go see how the reindeer are coming along with their flying practice, but I have a sneaking suspicion they may have found Mrs Claus’ hidden stash of mince pies.

Wishing you the most festive of seasons filled with sparkle, joy, laughter, and loads of mince pies.

Introducing the reindeer

[Address]

My dearest [First name],

It has just occurred to me that I have never told you about my reindeer. Of course, you know all about Rudolph and his red nose. He makes sure that we see exactly where we’re going on our journey around the world on Christmas Eve. But, my dear [Boy/Girl], what about all the other reindeer?

Well, there is Dasher. He’s the fastest reindeer, and he helps lead the way with Rudolph. Dasher knows all the best routes to take, and he always knows when [HomeTown] is coming up. Then there is Prancer. Prancer loves making sure that everything is done just right. He’s also the one that likes checking in on the elves in the workshop. That’s how I know the elves are working on your [Present] today!

Vixen loves to fly and practises new tricks every day. I’ve never seen a reindeer so talented at flying. Did you know that Vixen started flying when she was your age? That’s right, [Age Range] old. She reminds me a lot that you [Achievement]. Our lovable Cupid loves Christmas cookies more than anything in the world. He’ll often have a tummy ache because he ate too many of Mrs Claus’ mince pies. Poor Cupid.

Then we have Dancer and Donner. Dancer loves to dance, while Donner loves to sing. Currently, they are singing and dancing to Jingle Bells. And, finally, we have Blitzen and Comet. Blitzen is the timekeeper. He makes sure that we always arrive at exactly the right time when we journey around the world. Comet is the happy one. He makes sure that everybody always gets along and is happy.

Ah, I really do have the best reindeer. They are such wonderful friends, and every single one of them has an important job to do. And you know what? I wouldn’t be able to do my job and be [Santa Claus] without them! So, my dear [Boy/Girl], I would be so grateful if you could ask [Relative Name] to put some carrots out for the reindeer on Christmas Eve. They really do deserve some treats.

See you soon and please do send [Friends Name] my regards too,
Merry Christmas.

Reindeer Flying Skills

[Address]

Ho, Ho, Ho [First name],

It’s been snowing all day here at the North Pole, and it’s very, very cold. Thank goodness Mrs Claus just brought me a cup of hot cocoa to warm my frosty hands. You see, the reindeer and I have been working on our flying skills all day. After all, we want to make sure that we are ready for the journey around the world soon. There have been so many good children this year, and we have many homes to visit. Of course, we will also be visiting [HomeTown]!

Mrs Claus and I just had a look at my Nice List, and guess what? You, my dear [Boy/Girl], have made it onto my list again. I also know that you have asked for a [Present], let me see what I can do to get this to you at Christmas. They heard that you [Achievement], and we all agreed that you deserve an extra special present this year. At [Age Range] old, that really is wonderful.

Did you know that the reindeer practise their flying skills every single day? They take their job very seriously. Mrs Claus always makes sure that they have the most delicious carrots to eat so that they can see perfectly when we fly at night. Carrots are very healthy. Of course, Mrs Claus also bakes special reindeer Christmas cookies for them. They do love eating those. Today, Comet ate too many cookies and got a tummy ache. But don’t worry, he had a little nap and is feeling much better now. Eating too many cookies is never a good idea.

Speaking of cookies, Mrs Claus just brought me a plate of freshly baked ones to dunk into my hot cocoa. I must remember to not eat all of them though. Do [Friends Name] and you also enjoy Christmas treats? Perhaps you could ask [Relative Name] to leave some cookies and milk for me on Christmas Eve, and perhaps a carrot or two for the reindeer. We would be most grateful.

Now that my hands have warmed up again, it’s time for me to get back to work. But before I go, let me be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with Christmas goodness and joy!

White Reindeer

[Address]

My dearest [First name],

Ho, ho, ho, what a wonderful Christmas it already is! We are having a jolly good time here at the North Pole. Every day is filled with cheer and joy and all the good things that make Christmas special. Are [Relative Name] and you feeling the Christmas spirit in [HomeTown] already? I hope so!

The elves have been hammering, sawing and painting around the clock. They are creating the most amazing presents this year. I am looking forward to sharing these gifts with all the good children around the world. Are you still hoping for a [Present]? I saw the head elf working on your special gift yesterday and he said if you continue to be good we will be delivering a present for you and also for [Friends Name]. I do hope you both like your presents.

The reindeer have been a bit silly today. They were playing hide and seek in Mrs Claus’ pantry. Prancer was running around like crazy and crashed into the big sacks of flour. Don’t worry, he didn’t hurt himself. His antlers got hooked on the bags, though, and he got covered in white flour. Poor Prancer got such a fright and ran out into the woods. He didn’t like being a white, flour-coated reindeer one bit! The elves had to go search for him and bring him home. Mrs Claus ran him a big bubble bath, and now Prancer is back to his normal brown reindeer colour again.

My dear [Boy/Girl], I am having such a good time writing you a letter, but I must get back to polishing my boots soon. Before I go though, I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. Mrs Claus told me all about [Achievement], this is so lovely to hear for someone that is already [Age Range] old!

Merry Christmas, dear [First name], may it be filled with joy and laughter.

Extra Carrots for the Reindeers

[Address]

Dear [First name],

Things have been getting a little hectic up at the North Pole recently. As well as wrapping up all the presents, we have been feeding the reindeer extra carrots to get them ready for their big flight on Christmas Eve. They always enjoy flying over [HomeTown], except when it is raining! They do not like getting their ears wet.

My sleigh has been fuelled up with Christmas magic and the elves have been building toys since last Boxing Day! Did you know that we have a team of polar bears in our packing department? They load all the presents onto the sleigh because some are a little too big for the elves to carry. Our bears are very friendly and love nothing more than to lie by the fire at night and warm their paws.

Pepper, our head elf, tells me that you turned [Age Range] old this year and that you have been a very good [Boy/Girl]. I heard you [Achievement], that is quite an achievement! I am sure your [Relative Name] must be so proud of you. I have also been told that you would like a [Present] for Christmas – that sounds wonderful! I will try my absolute best to have it with you in time for Christmas. What has been your favourite present so far? Mrs Claus knits me a lovely new jumper every year and I can never decide which one I like the most. We should always be thankful for the gifts people give us at Christmas, as each one is filled with love.

Tell [Friends Name] that I said hello, isn’t it delightful having someone so special in your life and I am sure you will be in each other’s lives for a long time to come. I am sure you will be great pals for a long time to come. Remember to both carry on being kind to everyone you meet and spread happiness wherever you go.

I must dash now as Mrs Claus has just baked a fresh batch of mince pies. Yum yum. I will see you on Christmas Eve, make sure to get to bed nice and early. Have a magical Christmas with your friends and family.

Santa with his reindeer and elfs

[Address]

Dear [First name],

How are you my dear [Boy/Girl]? I do hope you’re feeling well and are excited for Christmas. It may be busy here as we prepare for the big day, but it is my absolute favourite time of year. It’s also been made even more wonderful because of our record number of children on the nice list, including your friend, [Friends Name]. Of course, that means the elves must work harder to get all the gifts made in time. Mrs Claus and I have had to give them extra candy canes to provide the energy to work extra hours.

A little birdie told us that you would like a [Present] for Christmas. The elves are currently preparing all the gifts for the children of the world. While even I can’t guarantee this, if you promise you’ll be a good child for the remainder of the year, we’ll try our best to deliver one to you in your home in [HomeTown].

Here in the North Pole, the snow is falling fast. Just yesterday all our reindeers were snowed in for a few hours. Don’t worry though. Me and the grand elf got our shovels and dug the reindeers out. By the time we were finished the stars were twinkling. We’re sure it was a view your [Relative Name] would approve of.

Before I go, I just wanted to say well done on [Achievement]. We hope you’re proud of all you’ve achieved this year, and I know you are only [Age Range] old. Keep up the good work, [First name] and we’ll see you soon.

[Santa Claus]
