This is a really lovely book. My 8 year old enjoyed opening the letters with me, and my 5 year old loved the illustrations. It’s a nice story to get everyone in the Christmas spirit and it helps explain some of the questions children might have about Father Christmas.

I bought this to save and read to my children on Christmas Eve based upon the reviews from others I had read on here. It did not disappoint. The story is perfect to get the children feeling the Christmas magic. It’s a good length story but not too long, it is engaging with little letters to read. Santa gives the child a tree decoration of himself in the story to help him believe so I did the same for my children and we put it on our tree. I go all out to make Christmas a very special time for my children and this book was just what I needed to help me.

This book is amazing. An excited 8 year old and 5 year old boy sat listening eagerly to this on Christmas Eve evening. It’s such a lovely story, small envelopes to be opened and read, and it answers so many of the questions that children ponder on when it comes to Santa! Would highly recommend! One of the nicest a Christmas books I’ve read! Helps add to the Christmas magic for the children and the adult reading it 🙂

We love the dear tooth fairy book in the same range so I knew this one would be a hit with my kids, they loved it, keep reading it over and over!

My daughter is not yet three years old and she absolutely loves this book! Holly, the girl in the story, starts writing letters to Father Christmas from December 1st, after seeing ‘him’ in the local shops! Not at all expecting it, she gets a response from him! They communicate through a number of letters until Christmas Day. The letters from Santa are like those in ‘The Jolly Postman’. They are tactile, removable and create great interest in the story. When Holly finally gets to meet him he arrives with his reindeer and sleigh and she gets to go on the ride of her life! While this story is longer than traditional picture books, it still is a great story for children to experience the magic that is Christmas time.

Real hit with the little one, especially the letter format in which the story unfolds. Little one was so smittened she started writing letters to Santa in preparation for this year’s Christmas
