    What if my handwriting is not that good?

    It's okay. Santa reads so many letters that he's pretty good at reading messy handwriting. If you're really worried, you could type or your letter or ask a friend or family member to help you.

    What if I spelled something wrong, and Santa could not read it?

    Have a parent or other adult check over your spelling before you send your letter. If you already sent it, don't worry. Santa's pretty smart, so he should be able to figure it out.

    There isn't technically a limit, but one letter a year should be fine because he is very busy. You can put everything you want to say in the one letter.

    Why do they call him Santa Claus?

    Santa means "Saint" and "Claus" is a shortened way of saying "Nicholas". So Santa Claus actually means Saint Nicholas, the saint who is associated with Christmas

    Ask your friend to stop. If they continue, he/she may not be the best choice for a friend. Don’t let what they say get in your way of believing.
