Dear Santa Party

Last week we wrote our letters to Santa. I decided to make a party out of it. So the boys had a little Dear Santa Party. They wrote letters. They sipped cold milk. They ate yummy treats.

Last year I made up these Dear Santa letter printables.

The letter to fill out is super fun and is easily used for older kids and younger ones. I made changes to the envelope image I made last year. Last year I found an address online that I had been told worked. Well, false. SO this year I did a little more research and found several options that work great.

The address I used:

Santa Claus

PO Box 1

Santa Claus, IN 47579

This address goes to a museum in Santa Claus, Indiana, where they have volunteers who receive the letters and will write a response back to any letter written before December 20th as long as the return address is readable. 

SO I made a new envelope image with that address.

You can still use the first envelope design if it doesn't really get mailed. However, the new address can be mailed.

With letter and envelope in hand we were ready to start our party.

I found these adorable paper products at Target in the Christmas section.

I matched up the straws, Santa plates, and napkins with a few things I already had around the house.

We served Oreos and cinnamon Santas.

I think everyone had fun.

From the littlest Santa believer.

To the oldest believer in the Spirit of Santa, goer along to keep the magic alive for his younger brothers.

This little party was waiting for them when they got home from school. I had so much fun just putting together this simple festive Dear Santa Party. I think we have a new tradition.

Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit (and printable)

My kids write Santa every year. It normally goes a little something like this--

I gather some random pieces of construction paper. The kids round up all of their markers and crayons. We sit down and write out some last minute lists.

Did you catch the whole last minute part? Yeah, I am talking like, last, last minute. Like sometimes the night before. When that happens we just hope and pray that "Santa" guessed right .

This year I got the bee in my bonnet that I wanted it to be more special. I pretty much like to show up late to the party, I mean my oldest in almost 10 and this our first legit Santa Letter.

I guess it is okay if I show up late, as long as I bring this cute little printable Dear Santa Letter with me.

Once I made this set of Dear Santa stuff, I thought it would be cute to put together the printables and add a few other things to make it a cute little Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit that I could give as a little gift.

To the printables I added some washi wrapped pencils and then a roll of washi tape.

I made this Dear Santa Letter using PicMonkey's Santa Land. 

I am dying over these toy overlays. Seriously, how cute are they?!?

I made an image to go on an envelope. The fonts PicMonkey has for Santa Land are perfect for an envelope traveling to the North Pole.

All you need to put together you own Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit--

Dear Santa Letter
Dear Santa Envelope lable (*)
envelopes
pencils
washi tape

You can either put it all together as a fun little gift, or you can print it off for your own Littles. Or heck, you can do both.

My Little Men had fun writing their letters.

Little's drawing was pretty much my favorite part.

Even Oldest joined in the fun.  Is it just me or does he look like a teenage already. Ack!

I hope you enjoy this printable. Let me know what you think. Share it if you love and I will love you!

Merry Christmas.

*You will have to manipulate the label image to print off on the envelope.
