The longstanding tradition of writing letters to Santa Claus is being renewed as more and more children can expect to get a reply letter from Santa. Official Letters From Santa helps parents to increase the joy their children gain from the experience of corresponding with Santa.
The Christmas tradition of writing to Santa dates back to the late 1800s, when it became popular among children to mail their Christmas wishes to “Santa Claus, North Pole”. Interestingly, some sources trace the origins of this custom back as far as the 1200s and say that the earliest known children’s prayer directed to “St. Nicholas” stated:
“St. Nicholas patron of good children, I kneel for you to intercede. Hear my voice through the clouds. And this night give me some toys.” (http://swordinhandpub.com/blog/tag/santa-claus/)
Nowadays, many parents and teachers appreciate the educational benefits that writing to Santa can bring to the children. By writing a Santa letter, kids learn to clearly communicate their wishes, to structure a letter and to be polite, but it also encourages children to recognise their achievements and to be proud of them. The latter advantages become more apparent when the communication is mutual.
Therefore, the benefits of written communication (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/11/benefits-of-writing-letters-and-postcards_n_6425540.html) are not limited to composing and sending a letter, but also entail the satisfaction from receiving a reply letter. Of course, for children, the main reason for writing to Santa is to say what gifts they want for Christmas. Parents, on the other hand, are encouraged to take a broader view of this holiday tradition and find ways to let their children make more of the Santa letter experience. The kids' joy of getting new toys and gadgets is genuine, but it also tends to be temporary. On the contrary, the positive impact of receiving praise in the form of a personal message from someone the child looks up to is more long-term.
