A few days ago we brought Babies and more the possibility of making a personalized letter addressed to the children sent by Santa Claus. Today we do the same but being the Magi the authors of it.
The purpose of these letters is to somehow feed the magic of Christmas and fascinate children with an answer they don't expect.
I have written a standard text in response. The idea is that you modify it as much as you want to customize it based on your children. Below I explain how to make the letter for those parents who want to surprise their children before the holidays with a letter from the Magi in response to what the children wrote for them.
You can download the letter here. This is a file with extension "doc", which can be edited with Microsoft Word or with OpenOffice, for example. The source that I have used is the Brush Script Std, which is installed by default on Windows. Obviously you can use some other or install the one you like.
The document consists of two pages. The first is the letter to be printed, with a text box ready to paste the final text.
On the second page is the text that I have written with the indications so that you modify it to your liking. Then I leave the text for you to read:
Dear (name of the child):
We are the Magi from the East. We recently received your letter and we wanted to answer you because, although we have a lot of work, all children deserve to have their letters answered. We were very pleased that you explained to us that
This year there are some toys that we cannot bring because there are so many children who have asked for them that there will not be enough for everyone. In your case, we cannot bring (write the name of the toy that you have not found. For example: the stuffed animal that releases feathers).
If you ask us next year, we will do our best to get you there. If not, you can also talk to your parents so they can give it to you on your birthday. Talk to them, I'm sure you reach an agreement. The other gifts you will receive without problems. (If there are no problems with the gifts, you can delete the two previous paragraphs).
There are few days left until the night of January 5. That night is very tired for all of us, because we have to reach all the homes of all the children in the world, so if you want you can put some food to help us gain strength. As many times there are children who do not know what to wear we give you a clue: We like it a lot (write here what we are willing to eat that night after dinner ... For example: chocolates and chard) And camels love herbs, but since I don't think you have them, a glass of milk will also help them a lot. If they are not hungry, calm, they will take it the same to keep it in the hump, for when they need it. By the way, on January 5 in the afternoon, if you want, you can see us in the ride of your city, but at night, better to go to bed early so that we have time to bring gifts to all children.
(Name of the child), we send you a hug.
Signed: Melchior Caspar and Balthazar
Santa Claus
Add what you want
As I did with the previous letter for Santa Claus, I have omitted the behavior issues such as "how you behaved well" or "how you misbehaved."
Many parents prefer that Christmas be a time of magic, fun and happiness and we are against using a lie (Although it is beautiful and magical, Christmas is a lie) as a weapon to modify children's behavior. That is why I preferred to leave this topic in your hands.
The rest of the message, as I said, is very standard, let your imagination fly a little and surely you will get a more suitable text for your children.
If you want the Magi to respond by hand writing
In case someone wants to write the text by hand, to make it more real, I leave below the background used in the letter with lines for the text (if you want it without lines, in the document "doc" you only have to delete the text box and print the first page). If you prefer you can also use the letters I made to be sent to the Magi.
Do click on the image and it will be enlarged so that you can print it (previous zoom to make it full size).
By the way, tell us your experience once they receive it, we would love to read your comments about it.
