\"Neurodivergent-friendly<\/a>Putting up the Christmas decorations can feel like a big change to some children, and this printable letter from Santa frames that change as calm and predictable, as well as magical and fun.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

While it’s a great letter to give any child in the run-up to Christmas, Santa has written it especially with neurodivergent children in mind, including sensory-sensitive individuals, and those on the autistic spectrum.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tone is gentle and reassuring throughout, as Santa invites the reader to enjoy putting up the Christmas decorations in whatever way suits them.<\/p>\n

A cheerful letter from Santa for children who enjoy putting up Christmas decorations at their own pace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A bit more about why Santa created this letter:<\/h3>\n

Not every child enjoys piles of higgledy-piggledy Christmas decorations, flashing lights, and the pressure to get decorations up quickly and beautifully \u2014 and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

At Rooftop Post, we have neurodivergent children in the family who love the magic of the season, but can find the sudden arrival of decorations stressful or overwhelming.\u00a0 Therefore, we asked Santa to create a letter that would help: one that shares his own decorating routine and makes it clear that there\u2019s no right or wrong way to get ready for Christmas.<\/p>\n

This letter recognises the needs of some autistic and neurodivergent children.\u00a0 It offers quiet encouragement, simple language, and a sense that there is no need to hurry and no “right” way to put the Christmas decorations up.<\/p>\n

We hope it will help children to enjoy Christmas in their own unique way, and that it will be particularly useful to those who feel safer when festive routines are explained and flexible.<\/p>\n
