<p>Dear [NAME],<br />
Merry Christmas! The elves and I are very busy getting ready for Christmas, and I’m really excited that we’ll be visiting your home in [HOMETOWN].</p>
<p>Have you been a good [BOY OR GIRL] this year? I’ve been making a list and checking it twice, and it says you you’ve been nice!. I’m very proud of you. Santa Claus likes bringing toys to little children who are kind to others, listen to their parents and do their best in school. I’m happy to see your friend [NAME] is on the list, too!</p>
<p>Mrs. Claus has been baking Christmas cookies for all the elves so they have plenty of energy to build lots of toys. [YOUR MOM/DAD/ETC] told me that you want a [TOY] for Christmas, and I’m going to do my best to bring you that or something else that the elves made especially for you.</p>
<p>Rudolph and all the reindeer are very happy that we’re going to be visiting you again soon. He said he’ll try to be very quiet when we land the sleigh</p>
<p>Have a very merry Christmas!<br />
Santa<br />
P.S. [ADD PERSONAL NOTE HERE].</p>

<p>Dear Baby [NAME], </p>
<p>Merry Christmas! I’ve been making my list and checking it twice, and I discovered that you were new on the list of nice little [BOYS OR GIRLS] this year.</p>
<p>I know your [PARENTS ARE] very happy to have you as the newest member of the family. [THEY LOVE] you very much.</p>
<p>The reindeer, Mrs. Claus and I all look forward to bringing you lots of joy at Christmas for many years. This year your [PARENTS] asked me to bring you [A TOY], and I promise to do my best to deliver it. But you have to promise to go to sleep without any fuss on Christmas Eve so the reindeer and I can come to visit. </p>
<p>[YOUR CITY] is one of my first stops, so be sure you go to sleep without fussing.</p>
<p>I know your new family is thrilled to have you spending this holiday season with them, and the reindeer and I are excited that we&#8217;ll be able to visit you on your very first Christmas.</p>
<p>Welcome to the world and have a very merry Christmas!</p>
<p>Love,<br />
Santa</p>

<p>Dear [NAME],<br />
Ho! Ho! Ho! The elves and I are getting ready for Christmas, and I see that you and your new little [BROTHER OR SISTER] are both on my Nice list this year. I know that sometimes it’s hard to be good when you have a new [BROTHER OR SISTER] in the house, but I’m very happy to see that you’ve been so good and are helping your [PARENTS] with the new baby. Your [PARENT/S IS/ARE] very proud of you. You’re so very special to [THEM], and [THEY] will always love you very, very much.</p>
<p>The elves told me that you’d really like a [TOY] for Christmas this year. I’ll do my best. There are so many wonderful toys that I try to pick just the right ones for each child. I’m sure you’ll enjoy what I bring you because I will pick it out just for you.</p>
<p>Rudolph and all the reindeer are getting very excited about coming to your house in [CITY]. They would really like it if you would leave out some carrots for them before you go to bed on Christmas Eve. They need lots of energy to fly to all the houses and deliver toys to all the good girls and boys. And I love cookies!</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy being a big [BROTHER OR SISTER]. You’re very lucky to have a new [BROTHER or SISTER’s NAME] in your family. </p>
<p>Love,<br />
Santa</p>

<p>Dear [CHILD’S NAME],</p>
<p>Merry Christmas! I can’t believe another year has gone by so quickly and it’s almost time to visit you in [CITY, STATE] again.</p>
<p>The elves have been very busy this year and I&#8217;ll be bringing you something very special they created just for you. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll like it, just like you enjoyed the [LAST YEAR'S TOY] they created for you last year.</p>
<p>How is [BEST FRIEND'S NAME]? I see that [HE/SHE] is on the list of good girls and boys with you. I&#8217;m so proud of you! I&#8217;m really happy to know you [SPECIAL ACCOMPLISHMENT] this year.</p>
<p>Well, it looks like the elves need me in the toy factory now, so I have to say goodbye. Be sure to leave a little snack for me and the reindeer on Christmas Eve because we get hungry flying to visit so many kids.</p>
<p>Keep being good!</p>
<p>Love,<br />
Santa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://christmaslettertemplate.com/christmas-letterhead-templates/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/3979386492_347cfdeb05_m.jpg" alt="christmas letter template" align="right" /></a>Sending Christmas cards and letters is a fun tradition during the holidays. But if you&#8217;re looking for ways to go green and help cut down on paper waste, you may want to consider using a downloadable Christmas letter template rather than store-bought stationery.</p>
<p>Using a printable Christmas template for your annual holiday letter to family and friends is an eco-friendly way to make sure you&#8217;re not wasting paper &#8211; or running out! You&#8217;ll always have just the right amount.</p>
<p><b>What is a Christmas letter template?</b><br />
A Christmas letter template is simply a document with a holiday design that has been set up for you to customize with your own content. Typically, they are saved as Microsoft Word documents, so they&#8217;re easy to edit. You simply download the document, open it in Word, and replace any sample text with your own. Basic templates may just have a Christmas background design inserted into Word with the text box already set up, or more advanced templates may include a place for you to add your own photo, or may be formatted as a newsletter with multiple columns, boxes and areas for you to write your own content.</p>
<p><b>Why Use a Christmas letter template?</b><br />
If you&#8217;re concerned about our natural resources, a template makes sense for several reasons. First, you&#8217;ll never have to worry about having leftover paper that you can&#8217;t use. With a downloadable Word Christmas template, you&#8217;ll never have excess.</p>
<p>Second, you can always choose recycled paper. If you buy <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/christmasletterpaper*">Christmas letter paper</a> at the store, you may have a hard time finding a design you like on recycled paper, or the recycled content may not be up to your standards. With a printable template, you can print your holiday letter on the paper you prefer.</p>
<p>Third, there&#8217;s no shipping or packaging involved. Your stationery isn&#8217;t hauled across the country in gas-guzzling freight trucks or packaged in non-biodegradable plastic. So your purchase is greener and cleaner than stationery from the store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why should the inside of your holiday mailings have all the fun? Put some fun Christmas postage stamps on your envelopes!</p>
<p>The US Postal Service has been issuing special Christmas postage stamps since 1963, when it released its first holiday stamp with an image of a Christmas wreath and candles. Now the USPS issues Hanukkah and Kwanzaa stamps, too, as well as both religious and secular images for Christmas.</p>
<p>But digital technology means you no longer have to wait for the United States Postal Service to issue their official holiday stamps, nor do you have to settle for the images the print. Now you can make your own (see the post on how to create <a href="http://blog.christmaslettertips.com/2009/09/25/create-personalized-usps-stamps-for-the-holidays/">personalized USPS stamps</a>) or you can buy great postage stamps created by thousands of artists around the country.</p>
<p>Just hop over to <strong><a href="http://www.zazzle.com/?rf=238435810200641470">Zazzle</a></strong> and you&#8217;ll be dazzled by the variety of postage available for Christmas, other holidays and special occasions and everyday use. Here are just a few of the designs you&#8217;ll find there. You can buy any of these designs or even use the design as the basis for your own customized version of what you see here. (For instance, you could add &#8220;Merry Christmas from the Smiths&#8221; to any image here, and you can do the same with their selection of Christmas cards, letterhead, ornaments, shirts and more.)</p>

<p>And it&#8217;s very easy to use. They offer several letter formats you can personalize with your chlid&#8217;s age, friends, accomplishments and more, and then you can select a stationery background that can also be personalized with your choice of images. You can also create matching envelopes, and Instaletter provides some fictitious postmarks if you don&#8217;t have the time or inclination to get a <a href="http://blog.christmaslettertips.com/2009/05/02/north-pole-postmark-and-other-christmas-postmarks/">North Pole postmark</a> or <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Add-a-Santa-Postmark-to-Your-Holiday-Mail">Santa postmark</a>.
