Personalised letters from Santa & Santa Sacks
I will be writing an article here at the start of 2024 about joining me, or replacing me, at Love From Santa. It’s the best job in the world, and the best little business, with I have to say the best customers. And of course the best Boss!
I haven’t time to write the full update now (for obvious reasons), but please come back and read in 2024 and if what I say perks your interest, we should chat.

A few years ago I wrote a new letter called “believe” helping children to believe in the magic of Santa, just as we adults have learnt to. I’d been wanting to add this special letter to my collection for a few years. I was inspired by some beautiful stories you shared with me and things I have read about this moment in child’s life. It’s a hard message to get right and that is why it took me a few years to crack. But I finally did. And it’s beautiful (if I do say so myself).
Why a believe letter? In my journey or writing letters for Santa I’ve learnt that there are plenty of older children who believe in Santa, or at least who desperately want to believe in Santa, and my letters have allowed them to feel connected to that belief and wonderment, even if just for a moment. But we all know that the older you get, the less the whole story makes sense in your brain, and that is just a natural (very sad) progression.
I was driving home from a winter weekend away (a few years ago now) and my seven year daughter and I had “the” full on chat about Santa. She asked me all the questions. I thought I was ready to handle them, I thought I was well qualified. But I wasn’t. The most interesting thing I deduced from the conversation was that I could hear in her voice she wanted me to tell her it was all true, she wanted to believe. So Bonnie, my darling, you were my final motivator, this letter is for you this year and I hope it keeps the magic alive whilst acknowledging your concerns.
The “believe” letter is only going to be offered for children aged 8 years and older.
It explains what the magical feeling is at Christmas time, and how powerful it is to believe in that feeling together.
It starts like this …
” Have you ever felt befuddled? That’s the feeling inside when things just don’t make sense, no matter how hard to you try. Whenever I feel particularly befuddled about something, I just imagine the joy and surprise on the faces of kids like you and Freddie and Lucy when you wake up on Christmas morning feeling full of love and happiness. And it has helped a lot. Now this part of the letter is for your eyes only Bonnie. I was having a little chat to your Mum and Dad the other day, who said you were feeling a little befuddled about me and my whole Christmas Eve adventure?“
As you know I don’t normally share my letters each year, it’s part of the magic for everyone. But this one is different. You can read the rest of the letter below, if you fancy.
When should you send this letter?
When you’ve really run the full length of the Santa magic in your house … it’s the last straw. I don’t think this letter will actually pop any bubbles, but it will nod to the child’s intelligence, and pending who the child is it may, or may not get them on the other side of the fence. My advice would be to leave it as long as you can … and then keep sending them letters year after year – keep the magic alive between you.
You can order it here with all my other letters.

Santa has been working closely with me these last few months, and he has a wonderful set of letters ready to send to lucky children again. His tales are just as sweet as ever (oh, how I wish I could be a fly on the wall up there in the North Pole), and Mrs. Claus, like always, features too.
The method for ordering and receiving my letters will be the same as always. I’ve given a quick/detailed recap below.
Letter orders will open on October 23rd and will be open until December 3rd only. Orders can be made here.
I can’t wait to start writing these special notes once again.
Magical Christmas wishes to you…

How to order and receive magical letters from Santa
*Santa’s special letters will be the same as they have been… cutely written letters, full of news from the North Pole, cleverly personalized with the information provided about the child. They will come in your choice of one of the three cute letter designs in a magical red envelope. There are differently worded (and designed) letters available for up to three siblings. The letters are freshly written every year, of course (so much happens in a year up at the North Pole, we couldn’t possibly repeat old news!).
*There is a special “baby’s first Christmas” and a “believe” letter available too. The “believe” letter is designed to encourage those older children to keep believing despite what might seem like overwhelming logistical challenges, and it tries to explain how Santa’s magic works and needs them to be part of it. You can read more about it here.
*All orders will be processed and posted out to you approximately two weeks after making your order.
*The person who made the order will receive a plain white envelope in the mail marked “NORMAL MAIL.” The magical red envelopes will be inside, addressed, stamped, and ready to be put in your letterbox closer to Christmas – when the time is right for the letters to be discovered.
*Each letter is $12.95, and there is a postage & packing fee per order added at the checkout (P&P is not per letter, but rather per order/family of letters).
*Orders need to be placed as early as possible as there will be limited numbers again this year.
*PLEASE follow me on Instagram for all the important dates, reminders, and ideas!!
