Dear (child’s name),

I know you can't read this yet, but I wanted to send a note letting you know how excited I am to share your first Christmas with you! One day when you're bigger, you'll know just how special and wonderful this time of year is, and all about God's amazing gift to the world, his son Jesus Christ.

Since this is your very first Christmas, you get a special spot on my Good List! When you're older, you'll have to be sure to listen to your family, be kind to others, and do your best to be a good person, but for now, being a sweet, cuddly baby is just fine! The joy you bring to your family is one of the greatest gifts of all, even better than the toys I bring!

I can't wait to peek in on you when I fly into (city) this Christmas. I'll do my best not to wake you up, since a baby sleeping all night is quite a blessing! Merry Christmas, (child’s name), and welcome to the world!
Love,
Santa Claus
