Classic Christmas traditions like mince pies, carol singing, advent calendars and Dad dozing off to a Christmas film are all wonderful, but they can become a bit repetitive as the years go by. As your family evolves, why not try and introduce some new Christmas traditions? These can be something to keep everyone, regardless of age, happy and entertained.
Writing a Letter to Santa
A fun and timeless way to celebrate the lead up to Christmas is to create your own Santa letter. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to get creative, using their best handwriting, colourful drawings, and stickers to craft a special message for the man himself.
Letters from Santa
After all that hard work creating a letter, it would be a magical surprise for your children to receive a response! We have many templates and stories to help you create the perfect, personalised letter from Santa.This can make the build up to Christmas all the more fun for your little ones as they will be getting very excited over the letter.
Personalised Christmas Sacks
While stockings on the mantelpiece are a great way to get your kids excited about Christmas, when it comes to larger presents they can often be a bit too small. Our personalised Christmas Santa sacks can enhance the magic anticipation of Sant’s visit and come in a number of different designs to suit your style. These unique christmas gifts last an entire childhood and beyond due to them being made with the best quality hessian and printed with your chosen design.
Calls and Texts from Santa
In today's tech-savvy world, why not add a modern twist to a classic tradition by introducing them to phone calls and texts from Santa, you can arrange for Santa (a professional actor) to call you up and talk to your children or to send you 3 text messages for your children to read. These calls and texts will be personalised and you can either choose from pre-written texts, edit them or write your very own message. These messages can contain the child's name, age, town Santa will be visiting, a best friend or family member's name and much more. These texts and calls are one way only, so unfortunately your little ones won't be able to call Santa back to ask him what presents he's bringing them.
But if one thing is certain, no matter what happens and whichever tradition you decide to adopt, dads will still fall asleep on their chairs wearing a Christmas hat. That is one tradition that will never die out.
