Nice List Certificate: What It Is and How to Use It

A Nice List certificate is an official-looking note from the North Pole saying your child made Santa's Nice List. Ideas for giving it and what it should say.

What it is

A one-page certificate with your child's name, the year and a North Pole seal saying they made Santa's Nice List. Kids love seeing their name in print, and it is a gentle way to celebrate good behavior.

5 ways to give it

• Slip it inside the letter from Santa.
• Leave it by the cookie plate on Christmas Eve.
• Have an Elf "deliver" it to the breakfast table on December 1.
• Frame it next to their school photo.
• Read it aloud at a family dinner.

What it should say

Name, year, one reason they made the list ("for being a helpful big sister"), and Santa's signature. Keep it short so they can read it themselves.
