2014 Free Printable Santa Letter and Envelope

Back by Popular Demand is my printable Santa Envelope.

Here is the FREE 2014 postmark envelope and printable Santa letter! My daughter loves this and it really helps keep the magic alive. I updated the postmark and changed the letter. Download the Word documents below and customize it to fit your child's life. Enjoy and make a child smile!

Here is also something really cool, have your child write a letter to Santa and take it to the local Macy's and place it in the big red mail box for Santa. They donate a $1 for every letter they receive.

The Envelope: I made the file in a Word Document so it can be downloaded and the address can be personalized, then take a stamped envelope and run it through the printer printing this template on it. This "cancels" the stamp just like the post office. Grab the envelope here: Download SantaEnvelope2014

The Letter: For three years now I have created a letter to place inside the envelope. This year I made updates and changes to the letter, so grab a new one! I used the same logo for the letterhead and set it up with a text box to type your own letter or keep the letter I already have and just edit it for your child. If you choose to use the letter as is, the words in bold are what you will to personalize. Grab the letter here: Download Santaletter2014

Both the letter and envelope are typed in a standard font for easy download for all. I used Free Fonts from 1001 Free Fonts.com to make them fancy.

The Name on the envelope: Jennifer Lane

The Body of the letter is in: Bodoni MT and Santa's signature is in: Jennifer Lane

This one of our favorite Christmas traditions. Start the Santa Letter Tradition for your family today!!! Happy Holidays!

I think you have to download the file, not just open it in the Explorer window.

Make sure the document opens in Word and not Microsoft Work Word Processor - it will be there but not formated correctly.

I have found that in some cases the Word file has 2 pages, one that has the return address and the stamp cancel, in the second page has the address text box.
The address text box can be moved by clicking on the corner of the text box and dragging the text box to the top page, then typing the address in the text box.

I believe you can also add a text box by going up to insert, text box.

I hope this helps!!!
Please let me know. If it doesn't work I can email you the file - maybe a direct email will help instead of downloading.

SHARE THIS - make a child smile and keep the magic alive!

Free Printable Doctor Who Valentines

Valentine's Day is close, very close. My daughter decided that this year she wanted Doctor Who Valentines to hand out in class. We designed a simple printable card that says: "Fezzes are Red. The Tardis is Blue. Bow Ties are cool and so are you."

I'm not sure how the other Kindergartners will receive these. My kid doesn't care, saying "It's not my fault they don't know the Doctor."

We are pairing the cards up with (candy) Fish Fingers and Custard.

If you want to grab the printable you can get it here Download DoctorWho, it's a PDF file with 4 on a page. I recommend that you print them on card stock.

FREE Printable Santa Envelope and Letter for 2013

CLICK HERE for 2014 Updated Postmark and Letter

Back by Popular Demand is my printable Santa Envelope.

My Daughter just loves getting this reply from Santa. Like I said in the past she even took notice to the post mark, noting that it is different than the post mark on the other Christmas cards we had gotten - so it really did come from the North Pole!!!! I changed the letter this year so if you grabbed the Freebie last year, get the new letter this year - KIDS ARE SMART THEY WILL REMEMBER - don't have Santa send the same message 2 years in a row! Keep the magic alive!

The Letter: Last year, I created a letter to personalize to put in the envelope. This year I made updates and changes to the letter, so grab a new one! I used the same logo for the letterhead and set it up with a text box to type your own letter or keep the letter I already have and just edit it for your child. If you choose to use the letter as is, the words in bold are what you will to personalize. Grab the letter here: Download Santaletter2013

Both the letter and envelope are typed in a standard font for easy download for all. I used Free Fonts from 1001 Free Fonts.com to make them fancy.

The Name on the envelope: Before the Rain the address in: Notepad

The Body of the letter is in: St. Nicholas and Santa's signature is in: Before the Rain.

Happy Valentines Day - Last Minute Printable & other stuff

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Here is a last minute printable for all of the busy people out there. This is really cute and I love the quote from Poe. If you read the rest of the poem, Annabel Lee, it's fairly morbid and sad, it's Poe what do you expect.

Young love seperated by death, where the lover becomes obbessed with her and lays by her tomb each night. Perfect for Valentine's Day, right?!?!

Download The Chalkboard Love Print Here!

My Daughter got a crazy big Valentine's Gift. I scored a 5 doll Monster High set at the Goodwill brand new in box for $10 - retail price on that is $55!! My Hubs said it was way too much for Valentine's day, but I only spent $10 and that's what candy and a card would cost these days. Plus she can take the dolls this weekend to play with at the dance competition.

Don't you love the bed head! I love this kid!!

What did you get for Valentine's Day? I got a "cash-certificate" for a 1950's Bullet Bra, like this one here
