Santa Claus is coming to town....

Only 1 more week left and so much to do...YIKES!!!   It's funny how as I get older I don't want Christmas to come so quickly, but as a child, I wanted it to hurry up and get here already.   I still have soooooo much to do!  One of those very important things we still have to do is write and mail our letters to Jolly Old St. Nick himself.  I know many have already done this weeks ago, but thanks to the Elf on the Shelf, we have access to him any time so no rush around here ;)

I have some great printable letters to Santa to share with you as well as some other really fun Christmas printables. I love printables to add some fun to any gathering...big or small...and what I love most about these is that they you don't have to pay for them!

But first....letters to the big guy!

This one is great even for the littlest in your family because most of the writing is already crafted!


Or how about this adorable one from 'Blush Printables'?  They have tons of others cute printables...just click on their name for the link.

And this is the one that our elf will be delivering for us....after all, when you change your list 3 times a day like my 5 year old, you have to wait until the very last minute to tell Santa what you've decided on.  

And this one surely takes the cake.  I think this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen....


Or maybe your children are high-tech and would prefer a personalized email from Santa...check it out at http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home

You will receive a personalized email from Santa himself for your child and he will let them know if they are on the naughty or nice list....very cute!!


On to some fun printables....some of these are for decorations and you may be done decorating unlike myself.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I change my Christmas decorations a couple times before the holiday actually arrives.  I actually just completed my mantle tonight with all of our stockings hung!   LOVE IT!

Anyway, these are fun to put in an existing frame for the next week to add a little more holiday cheer!  I adore subway art and especially adore Christmas subway art.   Check out 'Tatertots & Jello'...she has tons of fun printables and this is one of my favorites from 'Polkadots on Parade'.
Or this cute one from 'Creationz Studio'
And I love the vintage look of these from '2Sisters Blog'


Here's a few other really fun printables...especially for the kids!     I use these kinds of activities for them while I'm cooking dinner or trying to make a phone call or anything else I might be doing when I need them (or really the little one) to be occupied!

I always loved paper dolls as a little girl and so naturally I loved these when I saw them.  Can't wait to do them!  Each year they come out with a new one and here are some of my favorites.




And this year's addition...


I love this template to create a reindeer paper chain...we just might need to try this.  Although after our paper snowflakes, my hands are cramped a bit!



And this last one is a great idea if you want to start a new tradition.  We here already have our Night Before Christmas traditions that we don't want to disrupt, but I just love this idea.   


I have lots of printable gift tags to share with you tomorrow, but I'm saving them to go with my post on unique gift wrap ideas!   If you haven't yet started wrapping...hopefully I'll share some fun twists if you're looking for something other than traditional!  Stay tuned...
