Excited doesn't even begin to describe the reaction of my two when they discovered that Santa Claus had posted them a letter from his home in the North Pole! If you want to make Christmas even more special for your little ones, then you have to check out Santa's Little Elves. These guys are responsible for lifting the magic level of Christmas up a notch (or three), with their range of personalised letters and certificates from Mr Claus himself.
For only $12.95 your children will receive a personalised A4 letter which arrives in an individually addressed envelope (cleverly posted inside a discreet envelope to you). There are 7 individual areas that you can personalise your letter to make it more suited to individual siblings. For example, describe where Santa will leave the presents at your home, what activities your child has enjoyed throughout the year and what Christmas activities they love to do during the festive season. You children will be amazed by just how much Santa knows about them - proof that he really is watching all the time!
I love that in the letter, Santa invites the children to help him out by joining his team of Santa's Little Elves. As one of 'Santa's Little Elves', children are encouraged to help spread the true Spirit of Christmas by helping those less fortunate within the community. You get to personalise this too, and include a suitable activity such as donating toys or contributing towards the Wishing Tree.
Santa also includes a few little Christmas gifts with each letter he sends, so expect a little Christmas sticker, decoration and colouring sheet too.
My only word of advice with these letters is to film your little ones as they open their envelopes. I really, really wish that I had of done this as the reactions when they realise that Santa has sent them a letter truly is so priceless!

For me, Christmas is a time to gather and spend time with my family members, parents, brothers, and other extended family. I usually either visit my parents & brother interstate or spend it at home and have a Christmas gathering & lunch with my cousin, and my parents will come & visit me instead. We exchange Christmas gifts with each other. I normally donate some gifts or money to charities to help others who are less fortunate & attend the Christmas mass.
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas eve tradition is to walk the streets nearby looking at the beautiful lights everyone puts out. Often there is music, interactive displays, and even BBQ's happening. My 3 kids and I take some time the weekend before to write thank you notes to drop into letterboxes - some people put so much time and effort into their displays, that we want them to know that their efforts make our Christmas more special. We always hope it brings a smile to their faces on Christmas Day when they read them.
ReplyDeleteI let my son pick out 2 toys, a girls and boys, from the shops to put under the kmart wishing tree. He has so much fun and puts so much thought into what to pick and he understand why we do it and that 2 children will receive these present on christmas and make them happy. Cant wait until my youngest is able to understand and help with the picking of gifts.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's about reconnecting with loved ones. I try to do this by making an extra effort to disconnect from screens.
ReplyDeletePlease ensure you pop your full name next to your entry as per the T&C's. Thank you!
DeleteI always clear out the kids old clothes and toys for donation at Christmas time as well as making small donations to various charities.
