Santa has a lot of letters to read, so here's how you can make his job easier: Write legibly. Include your full name and address in the letter. List the gifts you want in order of preferences. Be specific about the gifts you're asking for. Don't ask for gifts that might be too expensive.
A typical letter to Santa should contain the following: The sender's name and age. Whether they have been naughty or nice that year. A list of what they would like for Christmas. A promise to leave out milk and cookies for Santa, as well as carrots for his reindeer.
Tips: When responding as Santa, make the letter from Santa 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.
All Santa really needs to say is 'ho ho ho' and 'merry christmas' in a joyful voice, so don't feel like you need to make a speech. If you wind up being pressured into one, call for Blitzen, Donner or Rudolph, look up at the roof at wait... the kids will love it :)
