A sample letter
This is the letter “For a grown-up”, filled in for Dana. In the builder you change the details, edit any sentence, and see it in Santa’s handwriting before you pay.
Dear Dana, Ho ho ho! Yes, I still write to grown-ups. You did not think you had aged out of the list, did you? I have it on good authority that you deserve some credit for holding the whole family together this year. Consider this your official recognition from the North Pole. My only note: take a day off. Take it from a man who works one night a year. As for that espresso machine, I have passed that along to someone who loves you. Somebody thinks the world of you, and asked me to put it in writing. Merry Christmas.
With love and jingle bells,
Santa Claus

How the letter is made
Every letter is written stroke by stroke with a real pen, in real ink, on Santa’s letterhead. The pen is held by a writing machine, which is how we can write thousands of letters and still have each one be actual pen on paper. The envelope is addressed to the child in the same ink. See how it works.
Questions
Can I write my own letter from Santa for an adult?
Yes. Choose “Write my own” and Santa’s pen writes exactly what you type, then adds his sign-off.
