Santa writes your child a letter, then reads it to them himself.

Christmas 2026

Dear Maisie,

Ho ho ho! Mrs. Claus and I have been hearing wonderful things about you this year, Maisie! A little elf told me you take such gentle care of your kitten, Biscuit, making sure she always has a cozy blanket and a full bowl. That kind of caring makes my heart feel as warm as cocoa.

I also heard that you finally learned to ride your bike without training wheels. You wobbled, you tried again, and then off you went! That took real courage, Maisie, and the reindeer were very impressed.

Kindness like yours makes the lights here at the North Pole shine a little brighter. When you shared your crayons with a new friend at school, the elves cheered so loudly that Dasher dropped his carrot! And I hear the cookies you bake with Grandma are the very best kind.

Mrs. Claus asked me to tell you how much she loved hearing that you help set the table for dinner every night. She says helpers like you remind her of her very best elves. And Rudy, our head elf, told me your name came up at the Nice List meeting, and everyone in the room smiled.

I've read your list very carefully, and the elves are busy as can be in the workshop. Keep being the kind, brave girl you are, and remember to snuggle into bed nice and early on Christmas Eve.
