Sample of Thank You Letter for Present from Child to Relative

Dear Aunt Ellen,

Thank you very much for my Christmas presents. I know that the scarf and hat will keep me very warm this winter when I play at the park and in the back garden. I also know that my friends and I will enjoy watching the DVDs that you brought me when it is too cold to play outside. I have not seen most of these DVDs before so I am very excited to watch them, and the ones that I have seen I already know that I like and will watch over and over again. Maybe one day you will be able to come over and watch them with me. I would like that very much.

Thank you again for all of my lovely presents.

Love,

Katherine
