Description
Dear Santa, the letter began, in pencil pressed so hard it nearly tore the page. I have been mostly good. Below came a list, crossed out and rewritten, then an apology for the crossing out, and finally an address underlined three times: The North Pole. It went into the post on a frosty Tuesday, carried off by a mail carrier who promised, with a perfectly straight face and a wink to the child’s father, to make sure it arrived before the reindeer left.
This box is shaped as just such a letter, addressed to Santa Claus at the North Pole. It makes a wonderful gift for a child learning to write, a parent who saves every Christmas list in a drawer, or a grandparent who still remembers the thrill of mailing one. Set it on a writing desk beside a fountain pen, or give it a spot under the tree where curious hands will find it first.
What makes it special
- Envelope-style design addressed to Santa at the North Pole
- A nostalgic Christmas-letter subject for all ages
- Each brushstroke laid on by hand in Limoges, France
- Room under the hinged lid for a tiny folded wish list
Write this year’s wish on a scrap of paper, fold it small, and keep it sealed until next December. Opening it together can become a family tradition.
