Since the pandemic and recent events, the importance of family and spending quality time with the people you care about has been highlighted. Christmas is traditionally a time that focuses on family togetherness and is orientated around creating treasured memories that will last a lifetime. A core aspect of this family time is the timeless traditions that are passed through generations and cement core values through love. There are many traditions, some are shared such as hanging your stockings on Christmas Eve, and some are special and unique to your family.
Writing Santa letters is one of the many traditions that can be shared as a family, where you can involve people of all ages. From coming up with ideas of what to ask for, to getting out the pens and paper to write them, it is an engaging and inclusive family activity. Whether it is the toddlers or grandparents, getting out your crating supplies can elevate this task, ensuring that it is an annual event that your family looks forward to each year.
What better way to extend the excitement of this time, than by arranging for your children to receive a letter response from the main man in red. This not only encourages future activities but is also a simple and affordable way to take Christmas celebrations to the next level. Our Santa letters are carefully crafted and customised by you so that they are an authentic representation of your child and their interests. You can choose what information to include on our pre-made templates, so that it is quick and easy to create a personalised experience for your children, in what are often busy times. You can order online in the festive season, meaning that you don’t need to spend time braving the shops in such hectic times.
Furthermore, it encourages activities away from screens and towards a more traditional pastime that is not only fun but also supports literacy skills. Unintentionally learning can sometimes be more effective than organised lessons as the children are more engaged and put more thought into their letters as they are doing it for their own enjoyment and satisfaction. With the use of cognitive and fine motor skills, writing Santa letters are considerably more interesting and exciting compared to homework and spelling practice.
