Next, start your letter with a jolly greeting. “Dear Santa,” or “Dear Father Christmas,” would work perfectly.

Before you ask for presents you should introduce yourself and tell Santa something nice about yourself, Santa loves hearing about all the good things you’ve done throughout the year. You could even ask Santa a question if you like.

This is the part where you can tell Santa what you’d love to find under your Christmas tree. Don’t forget to ask politely, Santa will definitely appreciate it. Whether it’s a shiny bike, a fluffy teddy or a sparkly wand make sure to list all the presents you want and give Santa lots of detail so that he get’s the right thing. It’s also a nice idea to tell Santa how excited you are and how much you appreciate all of his hard work. A little sprinkle of holiday cheer goes a long way!

It’s always polite to end your letter with “Yours Sincerely,” and your name. Now would be a good idea to get a grown-up to check over your letter for any mistakes, Santa would be super proud if your letter was error-free.

Now that you have finished writing your letter it’s time to decorate it! Perhaps you could draw a festive picture for Santa or decorate your letter with some Christmas stickers? However you choose to decorate I’m sure that Santa will love it!

Once you’ve finished decorating your letter it’s time to pop it in an envelope and send it straight to Santa. You’ll need to stick a stamp on the top right-hand corner of the envelope, write his address as neatly as you can and then put it in the post box:
