Did you know that Children in Canada also receive Letters from Santa Claus. While you’re there, why not read: Have you child mail their own letter to Santa? Guess what? Newborns and birthday kids alike would love to receive letters from Santa as well. Also make sure you read: Personalized Santa Letters Brighten The Christmas Holiday.

In the letter she wrote "St. Nicholas patron of good children, I kneel for you to intercede. Hear my voice through the clouds And this night give me some toys. I want most of all a playhouse with some flowers and little birds.” It seems that the tradition of writing to Santa to ask for gifts really didn’t take hold until the late 1800’s but has been a mainstay in children’s and their parents lives ever since.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/66903300-4F36-4900-9B07-521E641C0B73/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
