How do you print it at the right size?

Print at 100% or actual size, portrait, one page per sheet. Every design fits both Letter and A4, so plain paper is fine; use thicker paper for the tags if your printer takes it.

Which design should you print?

The list is easiest to read at a glance, and the black line sheets save ink.

A letter has room for a message to Santa or Father Christmas.

Small children can draw their wishes in the six big boxes.

What should a child write on it?

Three to five wishes is plenty, and a wish is not a promise. Add just enough detail for a grandparent: a book about sea life is clearer than a book.

Where does the letter go?

Keep it by the tree, or post it with a stamp and a return address on the envelope:

  • United States, USPS Operation Santa: Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888.
  • United Kingdom, Royal Mail: Santa/Father Christmas, Santa's Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ.
  • Canada, Canada Post: Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada.
  • Australia, Australia Post: Santa, North Pole 9999.

How can grandparents use the finished list?

Share a photo of it with the family, and keep surprises on an adult copy. The large lettering sheet is made for a grandparent and child to fill in together.
