Christian elf arrival letter

1. Type the names. The letter updates as you type.
2. Pick the version: first visit, welcome back, running late, two elves, a classroom and more.
3. Print it, or save the PDF and print it at work or the library.
4. Roll it up, tie it with ribbon or baker's twine, and leave it next to your elf on the first morning.

Print on cream or kraft paper if you have it. For a tiny elf-sized letter, print at 50% and trim. Most families bring the elf out between the day after Thanksgiving and December 1.

Dear Emma,

My name is Jingle, and I'm so happy to spend December with your family.

I love the lights and the cookies and the presents. But I want to tell you the best part of Christmas: it's the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus. That is the reason for all this joy.

While I'm here, let's get our hearts ready together. Each day we can do one kind thing for someone, the way Jesus taught us to love each other.

I'll find a new spot each morning. Please don't touch me, so my magic stays strong.

With joy, Jingle
