Two Santa letters!

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

DD2 (6) just told me on the way into school that the teacher got them to write a letter to Santa yesterday.

We already had her write her letter at the start of December so I could start shopping as she was changing her mind every time she mentioned it. I am now finished present shopping and suspect the list on this new unseen letter bears no resemblance to the one we saw. And have a sneaking suspicion this is DD testing Santa out.

What was the teacher thinking? I now have to decide whether to ask DD about the detail of the letter and possibly buy something else (not appealing) or ignore it and stick with Santa Plan A (more appealing but a bit risky: I'm not ready for disillusioned DD2 on Christmas Day, especially as DD1 appears to still be a believer!)

What would you do?

Ask the teacher if you can have a look.

You won't be the first.

Tell her that Santa probably only read her first list, and remind her they are just requests not guarantees anyway.

Teachers can't send letters to Santa, it was just a writing exercise at school so he won't get to see her 2nd letter anyway.

Cant you just ask her what was on it?

'just out of interest dd, what did you write on your list?'

I also agree with PeterParker, it was just a writing exercise and only the first letter was actually sent to santa.

Oh that rotten teacher didn't post the letter to Santa, Santa only got the first letter.

Send her a reply from Santa and tell her only 1 letter is permitted per child each year and if any changes need to be made there is an admin fee of £5 and include a lengthy form to fill out which needs to be counter-signed by two elves and returned with 2 passport sized photographs for proof of ID. I bet she won't be bothered to go through all that bureaucracy.

Haha Kippy, love the forms in triplicate option! I think we will go down the 'only the first letter counts' option, Santa is a busy man, especially this close to the big day, he can't be expected to accommodate last minute changes!

DS came home from school last week saying they had written a letter to Santa and told me what he had written which is NOT what he wrote on the one we did. O told him it was too late now, Santa has to have all the lettersbefore this so he can sort the toys out. Grrr.
