Magic Santa Key (with free PRINTABLE)

Have your kids ever asked you how Santa gets into your house on Christmas Eve?  We don't have a chimney, so it is always a question at our house.  So, when I saw a Magic Santa Key on Pinterest (which you can see here) , I knew we needed one.  Here is my version:



Cute, right?  I wrote a short poem and designed a sweet little key tag.  I have made it into a free printable that you can find here.  Just print it out and attach a split ring and a key.



Leave it for Santa on Christmas Eve, and he will have no trouble getting in to fill those stockings.  :-)

PS (One of my readers suggested giving the key to your child when they leave home -- to use as an ornament on his/her Christmas tree.  Brilliant!  Such clever people you all are!  :-)

  2. Hi Gina
    Love the idea! We have had one of these since our first Christmas with kiddies. The one I purchased came with a little note that says you can save these for the kids to have as a Christmas ornament for their own tree when they get older. I now have one for each kid! We leave them at multiple doors and then its a surprise to find out which way Santa came in! So very much love these traditions!

  4. We live in an apartment in the city, so LOVE this for those preschoolers who worry about how Santa gets in lol. Thank you!

  5. Absolutely loving this idea. We have a fireplace but my kids are afraid Santa will get burned so this would be a great idea for us too.
    Do you mind me sharing this on my blog? I am putting together a list of things I'm loving for Christmas and I would love to share this idea at the beginning of next month. Thanks

  7. This idea is so clever! We don't have a fireplace either, but we've always told our kids that Santa magically makes one like in the movie Santa Clause.

  20. This is such a great idea. We don't have a fireplace (it's way too hot down Under!) so this is such a wonderful way to let the kids know how Father Christmas will be arriving!

    I am hosting my weekly Pinterest linky party at the moment and I would be so honoured if you could link up this Pinterest inspired post!

    Hope you have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.
