My girls don’t like Santa. They never have, and I’m beginning to think they never will.
These days, at a very grown up eight years of age, they can keep themselves together when they walk past a giant blow up Santa in a shop, but no amount of lollies can bribe them to get any where near a real live Santa. Not even some very rude and mean spirited people telling them that if they don’t like Santa they won’t get any presents has made them change their mind. They just don’t like the jolly old over dressed man, not one bit.
To get around the whole lack of presents idea the two of them decided that they were ok with Santa landing his sleigh in the paddock. He can touch down far, far, from our house, over near the windmill, and then send his Angels into the house to deliver the loot. Yep… bet you didn’t know that as well as all those reindeer, Santa also travels with two Christmas angels.
So it is the Christmas Angels that deliver gifts to our house, and it is The Angels who receive copious amounts of mail at around this time of the year.
Santa does get a little letter love…
Morgan decided he LOVED Santa as a two year old and proclaimed it loudly, much to his sisters’ disgust, but when it came time to actually say hello to him and get the expected lolly, the love wasn’t so forth-coming. But Morgan happily sat down to write a letter to Santa last night, even making a really good attempt at writing ‘Santa’ too.
If you’d like to write some Christmas letters, to Santa, the Angels or maybe just to friends and family, I have made a Christmas version of my kids letter writing set (You can find writing set 1 here and writing set 2 here.).
This set comes with three different writing papers. Each writing paper design comes in a lined and un-lined version, for those who’d are not quite ready to write yet (as requested by a reader) and each has a matching evelope template, just cut, fold and stick.
You can download the Christmas Letter Writing set in a zipped folder here, via 4shared (no password problems this time… I hope!)
There will be a new Christmas themed printable each Monday until Christmas, and a few random extras thrown in too! Follow me via facebook, or subscribe via rss to make sure you don’t miss out and be sure to check out last week’s Christmas Printable – Christmas Postcard Template – just add your own photos and you are ready to print!

My kids think I am amazing! Thank you for these, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to work out how to unzip them – easy peasy.
What can I say. You are just so talented.

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 3 post on Nov. 28, 2011. Thanks again.
Thanks! I’m planning to have my kids “write” their first letters to Santa this year (they are 30 months old) and this will be a fun way to help them along!
Hi these look lovely but I can’t seem to download as they are in a zip folder? could you post them in a word format? or let me know how to unzip them.
What a great idea very inspiring.Thankyou
Ceris
They are in a zip folder to reduce the size of the file to upload. If you are using a windows pc you can unzip a file just by double clicking on the folder, if you use a mac then this link may help
