Do you feel that the true spirit of Christmas is running away from you? Many people feel that the festive season is no longer as enjoyable or exciting as it was previously was. This is part of growing old, very few things in life are as exciting as they were when we were small, but there is no denying that Christmas has changed a lot in recent times.
For as long as any of us can probably remember, there has always been a commercial aspect to the festive period. However, this commercial aspect is growing bigger all the time, and it is coming along earlier every year. Yes, it has become a cliché to say that the festive season starts earlier every year, but it is true and as each store tries to outdo each other and what they did in the previous year, it is becoming all too much for many people.
Moments with loved ones make Christmas what it is
Even though many modern parents had exciting Christmases with big presents, it is likely that a lot of the memories they hold from this time relates to fun moments with their family members and loved ones. Yes, presents and the big Christmas Day meal will be a huge factor for many people but don’t forget that these aspects serve to bring people together. Therefore, it would be true to say that one of the most important aspects of the festive season is what brings people together and ensures people have fun in the company of the people they care about and who care about them.
You could argue that there are not enough moments like these today. It used to be that the whole family would gather around the sole TV in the house and watch the same film or comedy show. Failing that, it is likely that games would have been played or songs would have been sung, creating a party atmosphere that made people laugh and smile.
This is much harder to recreate these days. This is down to the fact that there are so many entertainment options for people to enjoy in the present day. Even when people are gathered in the same room, it is all too easy for people to be on their phones or tablets, even kids on their gadgets, entertaining themselves without interacting or engaging with other people in the household.
Make your festive season magical
It is vital that parents break this situation and a brilliant way to bring people together comes with receiving a personalised letter from Santa Claus. This will come in the build-up to Christmas, so it offers a chance for parents to set the tone for the Christmas they want themselves and their loved ones to experience.
You don’t get too many letters coming through the mail these days, so when a personalised letter arrives, people are going to take notice. The fact that Santa Claus keeps a close eye on every child in the world, creating his naughty or nice list, gives parents the chance to encourage better behaviour from a child, but equally, it creates the chance for Santa to know many personal details about the child that form the basis of the letter.
Personalised letters from Santa Claus are much more engaging and entertaining these days, and the Lapland Mailroom offerings provide the ideal chance for parents to praise and encourage their children. Some parents find it difficult to praise and thank their child in the manner they should but when it is Santa who is praising and encouraging a child, it becomes much easier to say what needs to be said.
There is also the fact that many children are more likely to be receptive to what Santa Claus tells them compared to what their parents or guardian says. A few well-chosen words for the letter from Santa is likely to be the platform for great behaviour in the year that lies ahead. This is a fantastic outcome from the personalised letter, but the most important thing is that your child receives a magical moment they will cherish for many years to come.
Whether you received a letter from Santa when you were a child or you want to start a new festive tradition, a personalised letter from Santa from Lapland Mailroom is a fantastic way to make Christmas more magical.
