Do you think AAA should keep doing fun things like this?

[smile132]

Yes... keep doing this. It is what the holiday is all about!

[PEGGYMCNATT]

Definitely keep supplying the Santa Letter.  It's my first year to get to use it and I love the idea.

[gittlelean]

I think that this is a fantastic thing and hope that it continues because children love to receive letters from Santa

[datyler]

I look forward to them every year.  I just mailed one to my grandson.  He called me today to tell me that he received a letter from Santa. He was so excited!! The kids love them!!  Please continue providing them!

[hpatton]

Love this idea.  Thanks.

[T8TIGER1]

Keep this going. It is great for sending to my Grandchildren.

[sgainey]

Yes, yes, yes! I use it every year (and send it to friends), and my daughter loves getting her letter!

[Nana]

Absolutely, keep doing this --the grandkids love it!!!!

[webray]

This is the first time I have done this.  Sent them to our grandchildren.  Definately keep doing this.  They are adorable and easy!

[Ricki]

Love the Santa letter! Just sent out 4 in the mail to grandchildren. Our children would have loved this (30 years ago). Thank you!

[pineaway]

Love the idea.  Have been sending them to my youngest grandkids and next year will start with my great grandson.  The young ones are thrilled and even the preteen thinks it's cool that Grandma does fun things. (Can't fool them forever).

[rrazz]

You should definitely keep doing the Santa letters.  I'm a mother of 4 and I used the letter for the first time last year.  The kids loved getting the letters from Santa.  You couldn't contain the smiles on their faces when they received them in the mail.   

[pooh41029]

yes keep this up great to send the greatgrandkids  how about easter bunny letters also

[biotink]

We love the Santa Letter!  Thanks for doing it and we hope you continue to do so in the future.  We're definitely sharing it with out friends!!

[charlietheclown]

Very definately keep the Santa Letter going.  It is what Christmas is about, the birth of Christ, love and sharing for each and every one.  My Grand-Nephew will be thrilled when he receives his letter.

[ce_donofrio]

Definitely!  The post office will now longer be sending back letters from Santa to the children that mail them.  Let's keep them believing as long as possible!

[rockdog1]

I love it! I'm sending one to my husband! He is working out of town. He is a big kid at heart and he will love it.

[irishnana]

Great thing to do at Christmas.  Just one suggestion - can the two letters be a little different in wording?  I have two grandchildren and they will receive the same letter except for the wish list and accomplishments.  It would be nice if there was a choice in the wording of the letter.

[Deb_Sprechman]

PLEASE continue these letters. Even though my sons are now 21 and 23, I still create one for them every year and put it in their stockings. They've become a tradition.

I'd like  to be a little more open-ended with my responses though. I make each one comically specific to each son and would like a bit more flexibility with my wording. Maybe next year you can make the standard version and a more open-ended one.

Love these letters! Thanks.

[jb50]

I think this a great idea and will bring many smiles to many faces

Many thanks

[NATIVEKNIGHTS]

Absolutely you should continue.  These are difficult times for many and this is a way to brighten a child's day and it's free which really helps the parents/grandparents. Thank you AAA!

[ddfoodprep]

With out a doubt, one of the best personal Santa letters to send! Truly great........keep it going!

[c1145m]

Yes, keep the Santa letters! What a great thing, so simple and yet brings so much joy to those sending and receiving them! Happy Holidays!!! Ü

[Beems]

I think it's wonderful. The letters from Santa both bring such joyful smiles  to children   and enhances there imagination.

[rodriguezdo]

I believe Santa letters are fun...we're all kids on the inside and enjoy the fantasy of it all.

Jesus is the reason for this season, for that we are grateful. Keep the fun in Christmas!! 

[Kathyvan]

I love the Santa Letter. I sent one to both my grandchildren.

[ksheehyanderson]

Please continue the Santa letters.  We finally have children in the family who are now old enough to enjoy getting them.

[RSessa]

Yes , please keep doing the Santa Letter.  What a great idea and grandchildren will just love it because it is so personal.

[Nanee]

This is a great idea.  My children loved receiving these letters and now my grandchildren can received the letters.  Keep up the good work.

[StephenW]

Wow! I really appreciate everyone's feedback. Keep it coming!

Do you have suggestions for other fun ideas we could try?

[VBITTIKOFER]

Please continue this tradition, I have been using them for the last 5 years and all 3 of my grandchildren have been excitied beyond belief,when their household was in an uproar,when their parents separated and this letter let them know  Santa always knows where you are. You have always brought a true holiday spirit and joy to my grandchildren. I thank you  whole heartly.

[biker99]

Yes, I think you should continue with the letters.  They are wonderful  for the children, especially the ones who are  "not so sure" about Santa.....

[casstom]

Have you sent your grandchild letters? Yes. This will the third year.

How did he like them? He has been delighted and amazed that "Santa" knows so much about him!

Do you think AAA should keep doing fun things like this?  Yes. This is becoming a tradition that I have begun to anticipate each year.  Thank you!

[Carmencita]

Hi,

Merry Christmas!  Feliz Navidad!

I have been a member since 1996. The Letter to Santa idea is great.

You should consider having the letter in Spanish, since many of your

members may have kids or grandkids that are hispanics. Remember

that Hispanics are the biggest minority in the USA. 

I hope you consider my suggestion for next year.

Thank you.

[SSC]

Yes, keep offering the Santa letter. A great way to surprise the kids. It would be nice to have another option with different wording for sending to more than one child in a home. Also a way to adjust good boy/girl for an older child.

[philcat]

This is the first year I used  the letter too and I love it.  Please keep it for every Christmas.

[seaira]

Many years ago I forwarded the AAA email with the Santa Letter link to my daughter to see if she wanted to personalize the child's information for each grandchild.  It was a tremendous hit with the boys AND her.  As soon as I receive the email each year, I forward it to her.  This year she was so excited about when it would be available that she sent me an email to see if it had arrived yet.  Sometimes I think she's more excited about doing the Santa Letter for her children than most kids are about getting one ... if that tells you how great this is that you continue to make them available.

P.S.  I like the idea I read that suggested an Easter Bunny letter.      

[BobbyT]

Yes, please continue these.  My grandchildren are amazed when they get them.

[CCARVER]

Please keep bringing us the Santa letter to send our kids.  It is great to be able to do this for them.

[YankeeGirl]

The Santa Letter  is absolutely a wonderful thing!

[john316]

This is the second year I have used the Santa Letters for our grandchildren.  They were very excited to receive their letters.  This year I am branching out to include my niece.

[brossmbs]

I think this is a great thing! This may be the last year my youngest will beleive in Santa but I always tell me 14 year old she has to believe or no presents. Besides he was around at sometime, right!?

[jebiggs]

Yes! Continue with letter. Make it available to email it to someone also!

[legs]

Definately ~ that's what Christmas is all about ~ sharing happiness!
