Post Category - Family LifeFamily LifeSacks of letters from Dubai’s little boys and girls have been arriving at the Babysouk HQ (where the soukettes, Santa’s Middle East representatives) have been busy sorting before ensuring they’re sent Express sleigh service to The North Pole (there’s still time to get your letters to the big man and his team of elves, drop them to Babysouk or email parents@babysouk.com). Or put lists in an envelope addressed to Santa and leave overnight, whisking away when the smalls are snoring and leaving a little glitter trail in their place.)
Getting your little people to sit and write a list is a lovely mama/kiddo bonding exercise and a great way to fire up little imaginations (plus have a good giggle at some of their requests – who knew junior wanted a real troop of monkeys so badly?! ). Let them write/dictate the letter – there’s lots of fun to be had in the physical creation of their list so let them get on with it and encourage them to draw and decorate. Remember to set a limit on the amount of toys they can ask for or things could get out of hand!
Sassy Mama and the Soukettes have gathered a few letters for a glimpse at what the city’s little peeps are asking for this year mamas! Read our transcriptions (complete with original spelling where they’ve been all grown up and written themselves) below!
psst…create a little magic for the kiddos with a personalised Santa North Pole video at portablenorthpole.com – guaranteed to make their eyes light up and your heart melt.
