A Real Letter from Santa in Their Mailbox: Birdie's Mailed Santa Letter

There's something magical about a child pulling a real envelope with their own name on it out of the mailbox. This year, Santa is sending his letters the old-fashioned way, and Birdie, Santa's cheerful little cardinal messenger, is making the delivery.

What's in the envelope

Every mailed letter includes:

• A full-color personalized letter from Santa, printed on parchment paper, with your child's name and one kind thing they did this year
• A Birdie name ornament page to color, cut out and hang on the tree
• A thank-you card for grown-ups
• A festive red envelope addressed to your child

Five ways to make Santa's letter extra special

1. Tuck it into a Christmas Eve box with cocoa and new pajamas.
2. Read it aloud together, then let your little one draw a picture back for Santa and Birdie.
3. Color the ornament page as a family and hang it on the tree.
4. Leave the envelope by the cookies on Christmas Eve for a morning surprise.
5. Save it in a keepsake box. Kids love finding it again next year.
