Letter from Santa for an older child

1. Type a name and, if you like, your town.
2. Pick the letter.
3. Print it or save the PDF.
4. Fold it into an envelope addressed to them, and leave it in the mailbox or by the fireplace.

Write the envelope in handwriting the child does not know. A snowflake or star sticker makes a good North Pole seal.

Dear Emma,

You are getting older, and I hear you have been asking some big questions about me. Good. Curious people ask questions.

Here is what I can tell you. Christmas has never been about one man in a red suit. It is about giving without needing to be thanked, and about making someone else's day wonderful just because you can.

You are old enough now to do that yourself. This year, pick one person and do something kind for them in secret. That is how the magic keeps going.

Welcome to the team.

With respect, Santa Claus
