Santa Claus Friendly Letter Writing Ho Ho Ho! It’s every child’s favourite time of year again. The Christmas season is upon us and so is the tradition of children writing a letter to Santa Claus. But wouldn’t it be a nice surprise for Santa to open up letters which ask him about his exciting life at the North Pole? In class, we have been learning about the five parts to writing a proper friendly letter. Using what you have learned about writing a friendly letter, write a friendly letter to Santa Claus which is sure to bring joy and excitement to him. In order to write your letter, follow the steps below: Begin by using the “Letter to Santa Planning Page” to plan out what you want to say in your letter. Think about questions you might want to ask Santa, things you may want to tell him about your family, and 1 or 2 things you would like Santa to bring you for Christmas. Then begin a rough copy of your letter. Think about writing what you have planned in sentences and paragraphs. Once your rough copy is finished, move on and write the good copy of your letter. Use the special “Letter to Santa” letterhead paper for your good copy. Finally, you will learn how to address an envelope so that Santa will receive your letter and write back to you.
