Tell the child that this is Santa's special key
to get into houses that don't have fireplaces.
Attach the following Poem:
Dear Santa,
We don't have a chimney
For you to come through
And if you miss our house
I don't know what I'd do.
Mom says that you work magic...
By using any kind of key.
If we hang it just outside
In a place you're bound to see.
So I'm placing a big key
Right beside our door.
Will say my prayers
And jump into bed.
And won't worry anymore!!!
