Get a letter from Santa!! Imagine the look of awe and joy on the face of a child who receives a personalized letter straight from the North Pole.
The excitement of the child would be enough to melt the heart of Ebenezer Scrooge himself.
For generations children have written letters to Santa that include their gift wish lists and reminder that cookies and milk will be waiting him on Christmas Eve. But only recently have return letters from that jolly one been available. From children just old enough to know who Santa is to those who are really questioning his existence, receiving a letter from Santa! is sure to make the season even more special. Even the doubters will have to pause and think about it a little longer.
Sure you can write your child a letter, sign Santa’s name and put the North Pole as the return address, but most parents don’t really have the time during this busy season to create a letter from santa, get special stationary and make sure it looks like the “real thing.” This is one of those times when it may be best to let the experts do the job for you so that your child can get a letter from Santa.
Christmas is the most magical time of the year and no one is more magical than Santa Claus himself a letter from Santa will just add to that magic.
The story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was a Greek born during the third century in the village of Patara in what is now the country of Turkey. His Christian parents were very wealthy and raised him to be a devout Christian. Unfortunately for Nicholas, they died in an epidemic while he was a young boy. He was raised by his uncle, also named Nicholas, who was the bishop of Patara. Nicholas also spent time at a monastery, which had been founded by his uncle.
Following the words of Jesus to “sell what you own and give the money to the poor,” Nicholas used his inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man.
Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need and his love for children. One story tells of a poor man with three unmarried daughters. In those days a young woman’s father had to offer a prospective husband something of value-a dowry. The custom was that the larger the dowry, the better the chance that a young woman would find a good husband. Without a dowry, a woman was unlikely to marry. This poor man’s daughters, without dowries, were therefore destined to remain single.
The story goes that on three different occasions, a bag of gold appeared in their home-providing the needed dowries. The bags of gold, tossed through an open window, are said to have landed in stockings or shoes left before the fire to dry. This led to the custom of children hanging stockings or putting out shoes, eagerly awaiting gifts from Saint Nicholas. Sometimes the story is told with gold balls instead of bags of gold. That is why three gold balls, sometimes represented as oranges, are one of the symbols for St. Nicholas who became widely known as the gift giver.
The portrayal of Santa Claus has changed over the years to the current rotund man with the smile behind the white beard and dressed in red.
