HOW TO WRITE A LETTER TO FATHER FROST OR SANTA CLAUS

Tips from Snegurochka (Snow Maiden) for writing a really good letter

BE CREATIVE

Choose some nice paper and a pen or a pencil in your colour choice, in which you can write neatly with.

WRITE YOUR ADDRESS Start by writing your full

address in the top right hand corner of the page(if your parents permit)

Write carefully so that Santa will know where to find you and so he can write a letter back.

On the second line, write the date.

Skip one line.

BEGIN YOUR LETTER. Write: "Dear Father

Frost or Santa Claus," and then indent your first paragraph.

Then, start writing your letter.

It is a good idea to say a little about yourself, such as your name, your age, etc.

TELL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD Tell Father

Frost/Santa that you have been really good this year.

Give an example of how good you were

Such as "I helped my little brother decorate the Christmas tree."

THANK FATHER FROST/SANTA Thank Father

Frost/ Santa for the gifts you got last year unless you sent him a thank you letter at the time.

It's nice for Father Frost / Santa to feel appreciated.

TELL SANTA WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR CHRISTMAS AND WHY.

Keep your list short and really think about what you would like.

If you want Santa to bring things for your family then make sure you mention it.

FINISH THE LETTER. Finish your letter

by sending your love to the reindeer (especially Rudolph)

But don't ignore the others.

SIGN YOUR LETTER

Sign your first name only at the bottom and put your letter in an envelope.

Address your letter to: Santa Claus, The North Pole.
