Overview

The first morning and the last night are the two big moments for a Christmas elf. These letters cover both: a hello from the North Pole for a new elf, a sorry-I'm-late letter with a blank for the elf's excuse, an I'm back letter for an elf returning for another year, and a goodbye letter to leave on Christmas Eve.

Each letter has blanks for your child's name and a detail only the elf would know, and your elf's name goes on the signature. Type in a free PDF app or print and write by hand. Add the Meet Your Elf page to hang on the fridge.

Arrival, late arrival or I'm back.
Goodbye on Christmas Eve
A gentle farewell until next year.

Questions

What if our elf arrives late?

Use the late arrival letter. It has a blank for your elf's excuse, like a snowstorm at the North Pole.

Is the elf doll included?

No. These are printable letters that work with any Christmas elf doll or toy you already have.

Do you have daily elf notes too?

Yes. Our Christmas Elf Kit has these letters plus 24 daily notes, a kindness chart and a report to Santa.

How do I edit the PDF?

Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free on computers, phones and tablets, or in Preview on a Mac. Click any blank line and type, then save and print. Some browser PDF viewers don't keep typed text.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
