The USPS Operation Santa® program invites everyone in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to write letters to Santa. Letters will be posted on USPSOperationSanta without personal identifying information, so others can respond to the holiday wishes.
When responding as Santa, make the response as personal as possible by highlighting your child's accomplishments over the past year. For example, helping around the house, receiving good grades in a particular subject at school or participating in community service activities.
You could share this story with your child like this: “Santa Claus lives in the North Pole. Each year on Christmas Eve, he loads up his big, red sleigh and delivers the toys to every house. Even though these presents are so special, the most important thing about Santa is the excitement and kindness he spreads.
When a child asks you if Santa is real, a good response is to ask, `` What do you think?'' And then ask the child to explain WHY they believe or not believe. Then listen, don't judge. That will help you understand where she is developmentally, and it gives her an opportunity to reason out an answer for herself.
“Santa Claus lives in the North Pole. Each year on Christmas Eve, he loads up his big, red sleigh and delivers the toys to every house. Even though these presents are so special, the most important thing about Santa is the excitement and kindness he spreads. That's the real magic of Santa Claus!”
Santa is bigger than any person, and his work has gone on longer than any of us have lived. What he does is simple, but it is powerful. He teaches children how to have belief in something they can't see or touch. It's a big job, and it's an important one.
You don't want to do it too early and spoil the magic for them, but you also don't want to wait too long and have them find out from someone else. A good rule of thumb is to wait until they are old enough to understand complex concepts and can handle disappointment. This is usually around the age of 7 or 8.
Believing in Santa Claus until the age of 11 isn't inherently bad. Many children enjoy the magic and wonder associated with Santa, and beliefs like these can enhance the joy of childhood and family traditions. Each child develops at their own pace, and what's important is how you felt about that belief.
A letter to Santa should be placed into an envelope with a postage stamp, and sent to 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. Don't forget your return address — be sure to write it clearly and include an apartment number if applicable, so there is no confusion about where the gift should be sent.
