Sadly, the Christmas Elf has to return to the North Pole to help Santa. While it’s been a fun Christmas season, with your very own elf from Santa’s Workshop, all good seasons have to come to an end. Help your kids say goodbye with this sweet (and free!) printable Christmas Elf Goodbye Letter. Left out in the open, in a pretty envelope, your kids will love this last moment with their Elf!
Your elf’s goodbye letter is a sweet way to wrap up the season. It gives your kids a chance to hear from their elf one last time. The message feels personal and magical, and it helps the transition feel calm and happy. The Elf also encourages hugs, good behavior, and going to sleep on Christmas Eve so Santa can come. We even left a small space for the Elf to write his or her name!
As a bonus, your Christmas Elf can leave a little treat, pictures, or one last mischief deed as he exits, keeping the magic alive until he is seen again the next year.
