Our Santa Letter Experience:
This past year, my daughter’s reply letter from Santa was a highlight of her holiday season and definetly helped her believe in the magic of Christmas. She was so excited when the big guy in a red suit and his jolly old elf replied to her letter and that it came personalized with her name to our mailbox she was beyond thrilled. I encourage younger kids to write their own letters as it is a fun holiday activity and the letter back from Santa even has a North Pole postmark.
