From the North Pole

Santa Claus

Dear Oliver,
Greetings from the North Pole! The snow is piled high outside my workshop window, the reindeer are stretching their legs for the big night, and Mrs. Claus has a pot of cocoa bubbling on the stove.
I heard you helped your sister learn to read this year. Sitting beside her and sounding out the words one by one takes real patience, and that kind of help is a wonderful gift. I also heard you love dinosaurs and drawing. The elves would love to see a stegosaurus wearing a Santa hat!
I know swim class is new, and new things can feel a little scary. Being brave doesn't mean you never feel nervous. It means you try anyway, one splash at a time. I'm cheering for you.
I hope your Christmas is cozy and bright, full of laughter and time with the people who love you.
With love from the North Pole,
Santa
P.S. Rudolph says his nose is extra shiny this year, so look for a little red glow in the sky!

The four templates

Each preview below is the real template with the same sample letter (for a fictional boy, Oliver), so you can compare the designs. Previews carry a “sample” watermark; the free template prints without one, and paid themes print clean once you've bought the pack.
