2015 Day 10 - Christmas Lists

PJ was excited to write a letter to Santa this year and we had it done in mid November.  He was pretty sure in what he wanted, which was helpful because last year he had no ideas about what he would like.  This year he wanted a VTech Go Go Raceway track...which is for younger kids...but because it has an elevator, he wanted it.

Did you know that if you send your Santa letter that he'll write back?  The address is:
Santa Claus
North Pole. Canada

2014 Day 10 - Christmas Lists

Last year was the first year PJ actually HAD an idea of what he'd like for Christmas.  It made shopping so much easier - and he knew what he wanted early enough that I was done shopping before December - yay me!

This year, however, he had NO IDEA - so I had to wing it...YIKES!

GJA always waits until the last second to give his list and its stressful - I normally get him to hand it over the 1st week of December...be we know where I was then...so the list was really REALLY late.

2013 Day 10 - Christmas Lists

We always wrote 2 letters to Santa every year when we were kids.

The 1st one was always the one that asked what we'd like Santa to bring, as well as niceties about saying HI to Mrs. Claus and hoping the reindeer are doing well....that sort of thing ;)  This one was mailed up to the North Pole I suppose, I really don't know what my parents did with those letters - did they actually mail them or not?  However, since we usually got what we requested, the letters MUST have arrived!  We always made sure that what we TOLD him when we visited with him at the mall was the same as what was in the letter - didn't want to confuse the issue during this crucial gift-asking time!

The 2nd letter was done on Christmas Eve, to go along with the milk, cookies and carrots!  This one never asked for anything, it was more about thanking him for coming, hope he was doing ok on his big run and hoping he enjoyed the treats we left for him and the reindeer!

NOW, if you mail your letter to the correct address...you get a RESPONSE from Santa!  So, get writing YOUR letters to:

Santa Claus
North Pole
