"Dear Maya," opens a personalized letter from Santa on North Pole letterhead, in a classic storybook style. Dark green serif text sits on cream parchment with a thin green border, a handwritten "Santa." signature and a watercolor open book and lantern in the corner. Swap the child's name, the number of books read, the gift line and the sign-off to write your own reading-themed Santa letter.

Create a finished 3:4 portrait Santa letter on warm ivory stationery, designed to print clearly at home on an 8.5 × 11 inch page. Keep every word and important detail comfortably inside a generous 8% safe margin. Cozy North Pole workshop letterhead: subtle warm paper grain, a fine muted pine-green rule with restrained antique-gold corner flourishes, and a small hand-painted vignette in the lower-right showing an open storybook beside a tiny wrapped book, a sprig of pine, and a soft amber lantern glow. Keep decoration away from the letter text; no extra Christmas motifs, no extra words, no brand characters. Set the exact text below, with these line breaks and punctuation, and no other lettering: Top letterhead, small refined uppercase: “NORTH POLE” Salutation, large and welcoming: “Dear Maya,” Body, three separate spacious lines in a highly legible friendly serif, large enough for a young child to read: “the elves told me you read 30 books this year!” “I'm sending you a new one for Christmas.” “Keep reading!” Closing near the lower left: “Love,” Santa’s clear, warm handwritten signature directly beneath: “Santa.” Make “Dear Maya,” the most prominent text. Use dark evergreen ink for the main serif lettering; render “NORTH POLE” in deep cranberry with a tiny antique-gold star seal. Friendly, sturdy old-style serif letterforms with generous x-height, open counters, moderate stroke contrast, softly bracketed serifs, and airy line spacing. The body must remain crisp and comfortably readable, never squeezed. Give the signature a naturally handwritten but unmistakable form. Flat printed stationery lighting, gentle paper shadows, quiet golden warmth, a few tiny snow flecks only within the small vignette. The result should feel personal, magical, and lovingly made in Santa’s workshop, with an orderly letter reading flow and uncluttered writing-paper space.
