Which List Are You On, Naughty Or Nice
If you want to write a letter Santa will really appreciate, there are a couple of things that you should include that will grab his attention and make your letter to Santa stand out from the rest. One of the most important things you can do before you even start to write your Santa letter is to make sure that you are already on the nice list. If you write a Santa letter and you are on the naughty list chances are he will not give it much credence so you better watch out.
One of the things that Santa does not like very much is a crybaby. Be careful not to sound as if you are crying to Santa Clause about anything. Remember, he sees you when you are sleeping and he knows when you are awake. He will also know if you have been annoying your parents by crying and whining for things that you should have to earn. If your parents have already told you no about something, crying to Santa will do you very little good anyway and if it annoys your parents, chances are it will annoy Santa as well.
Another good idea to remember when you write your letter to Santa Clause is not to pout. Pouting and threatening to hold your breath if you do not get something for Christmas is a real good way to ensure that you will not get it. Santa likes little boys and girls who understand the concept of bad and good so make sure you are good, for goodness sake. Do not say anything in your letter about crying or pouting, as it will only put you on shaky ground.
You want Santa to remember how well your letter was written when he comes to your town. This means that it should be written as politely as possible. Remember to say nice, respectful things about your mother and father so that he will know that you are watching your manners and that you are trying very hard to make the nice list every year. Santa understands that you cannot be perfect, at least, not all of the time. He does not expect you to be perfect. All that Santa Clause wants you to do is to try your very best. If you are a good girl or boy, let him know this in your letter. It is perfectly acceptable to tell Santa that you have been good. Be proud of it. Being good and always doing the right thing can be hard sometimes. Santa Clause knows this and he appreciates your effort.
Finally, do the things all year long that you know would make Santa Clause happy. If you try to do the right thing and listen to your parent’s instruction all year long, Santa will already know you were very good and, with your parent’s permission, he might just leave you everything you asked for. The best way to make sure that you are good all year is to remember that you have to watch out, you had better not cry and you had better not pout. I am telling you why right now. It is because Santa Clause is coming to town.
When you close your letter, let Santa know that you will leave him some cookies and some milk, just in case he is hungry or thirsty. Write as neatly as you can and mention your good school grades so that he knows how good you are and that you care.
