Santa's letterbox


Although Polkadots has been getting into the Christmas spirit for quite some time now with Christmas shows and preparations for our Christmas Extravaganza concert, we have only just started to get into the swing of Christmassy fun at home, and to get the ball rolling we decided to make a Santa Letterbox for our Family Night last night.
We just kept things simple, by finding an old show box. We got out the red paint and all chipped in to transform our shoebox into something a little more festive. Then it was time to decorate . . . again, keeping things simple, we just printed off some Christmassy clip art and stuck them around the box.
We wanted to make our letterbox have a bit of a difference, so we decided instead of writing letters to Santa to tell him what we wanted, we decided that for each day of December we would write a letter to Santa to tell him what we had done to be nice to someone else. Then Santa would know that we’ve been good!
We’re excited about writing our “Nice deeds” letters to Santa and can’t wait to do more Christmassy activities in the days to come!
