So.... I wrote this letter from Santa {to the boys}, and I mailed it today {with a North Pole return address}.

Here is what our letter said,
Dear Boys,
I just wanted to send you a short letter to let you know that Elfie is getting very excited to see you again. All the scout elves are trying to get lots of rest because they will soon be making nightly flights back to the North Pole.
Are you starting to think about what you might like for Christmas? My elves have built a lot of great toys this year. I bet we have something you would really like. Be good… and keep sharing with each other and listening to your Mommy and Daddy.
Elfie will be visiting you very soon!
Love,
Santa
PS (Elfie has a surprise for you this year. Can you guess what it is?)
Fun, right? I can't wait for our mail carrier to deliver it. My boys are going to be super-excited!
Don't you just love Christmas?

I can't wait to do this with my little.
ReplyDeleteI love it and our elf is "elfie" too
ReplyDeleteA lot of my friends talk about this Elf on the Shelf and kids seem to LOVE it. I think I have to break down and buy one this year. I love that you mailed a letter to your kids from Santa. My kids would be so excited if this came - in fact, I plan to steal your idea. And yes, I do love Christmas - it's by far my favorite holiday.
ReplyDeletewhat is the surprise from elfie???
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting the link for the Santa letterhead. I typed up a letter that my kids will receive in the mail letting them know that Santa is sending a scout elf to them. Then he will arrive with a sugar-filled breakfast from the North Pole! I think I'm having more fun planning it than they will receiving it!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get your letter on the stationary itself? I tried to copy and paste into word but no luck?
ReplyDeleteGoogle Free PDF converter and convert the PDF file to a word doc., you can then type in the doc
DeleteI don't understand how to use the converter. I tried, but don't know what I am suppose to browse.
DeleteFirst, I print the stationary. Then, I print the letter onto it. Works great! :-)
DeleteI'm having trouble printing the pdf file. nting the jpeg but it is super big and only prints a 1/4 pf it. Any tips?
DeleteGo to this site to get the letterhead: http://designeditor.typepad.com/design_editor/2011/11/free-download-santas-stationery.html
DeleteFirst, print the letterhead.
Then, print the letter onto the letterhead.
