Pick a letter for Christmas Eve, add your kids' names and your elf's name, then print. The printed letter has no links and no website address, so it keeps the magic.
Dear __________,
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and that means it's time for me to fly back to the North Pole with Santa.
Thank you for the best season. I loved every morning with you: every giggle, every hello, every time you found me.
I'll tell Santa all about you. Keep being kind, and I'll see you next year.
Love, and a little leftover magic,
__________
Dear __________,
Before I go, I left you something: a little leftover magic. Keep it somewhere safe.
When you miss me, hold it tight, close your eyes and think of the North Pole. I'll feel it, all the way from Santa's workshop.
Merry Christmas! I can't wait to see how much you've grown next year.
Your elf, always,
__________
Dear __________,
This season was full of kind moments: helping, sharing and big hugs. Santa smiled when I told him.
Tonight I fly home with Santa. Look for me next year. I'll be the one with the biggest smile.
Keep spreading kindness. It's the best magic there is.
Hugs from the North Pole,
__________
