Christmas Pens and Dear Santa Letter

The holiday season is a whirlwind of activity, and while finding the perfect gift for your child’s teacher is often at the top of our to-do lists, there’s another important mission to embark on: finding thoughtful and fun gifts for your child’s friends and classmates. Especially when class Secret Santa exchanges or simple “thinking of you” gestures are on the horizon, discovering small tokens of appreciation can make a big impact.

Jolly Greetings: Spreading Smiles with Holly Jolly Writers

Enter the Holly Jolly Writers – an absolutely adorable idea for any classroom Secret Santa exchange! These aren’t just any pens; each one is a miniature masterpiece of holiday cheer. Imagine your child’s classmates unwrapping a pen topped with a festive face like Santa, a wobbly Penguin, a friendly Polar Bear, a cheerful Rudolf Reindeer, a classic Nutcracker, or a jolly Snowman. The fun doesn’t stop at the cap; the barrel of each pen is also cleverly decorated to complete the character, making them a delightful addition to any pencil case.

Beyond Secret Santa, Holly Jolly Writers also make for fantastic and inexpensive stocking stuffers. They come in two charming sets: “Holiday Characters” and “Christmas Critters.” You can choose the set that best suits the personalities of the little ones you’re gifting to, or perhaps grab both to have a variety on hand!

Dear Santa… Let the Holiday Magic Begin!

There’s a certain magic that fills the air when it’s time to write that most anticipated letter of the year: the “Dear Santa” letter. A fun and festive pen, like the Holly Jolly Writers, can be the perfect catalyst to get your child excited about this cherished tradition.

Writing a letter to Santa has been a beloved ritual for centuries, and it’s more than just a cute holiday activity. In our increasingly digital world, it’s a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to the valuable and often overlooked art of letter writing. The process of composing thoughts, forming sentences, and physically putting pen to paper is a skill that continues to hold significance.

Just this past weekend, my daughter enthusiastically penned her own “Dear Santa” letter. We used a special “Dear Santa, Letter” kit from Ooly, which provided the perfect themed stationery to spark her creativity. Afterward, we took it to our town’s annual Santa Claus parade. There, she had the joy of handing her precious letter directly to a mail carrier who promised to ensure its speedy delivery to the North Pole!

For those in Canada (and potentially other regions, it’s worth exploring!), a special initiative exists where you can mail your child’s letter to an address provided by Canada Post. The incredible part? Santa himself will write back, responding to your child with a personalized letter! It’s a touch of real-life magic that kids will treasure.

My daughter’s letter was a masterpiece. I printed a photo of the “Mega Bloks – First Builders Cozy Cottage,” the coveted item on her wish list, and taped it onto her Santa-themed writing paper. Then, with a palette of Crayola crayons and an assortment of festive stickers, she transformed her letter into a vibrant expression of her Christmas wishes.

Ooly offers a delightful collection of “Dear Santa kits” to help facilitate this tradition. You can choose from four enchanting designs: Santa, Penguin, Polar Bear, and Snowman. Each kit thoughtfully includes four cards of the chosen design and four decorated envelopes, making the entire experience feel extra special.
