The holidays are nearly upon us! I always make sure to add lots of holiday-themed printables this time of year. Thanksgiving is always super-busy at our house, with friends and family coming from near and far. Also, heads up: Hanukkah is on the early side this year, starting at sundown on Dec. 12.
This week’s additions are family trees (including Thanksgiving-themed designs) at FamilyTreeTemplates.net and a fun batch of letters from Santa at SantaPrintables.com.

even more free printables. Thanks! | |

I just put up 25 new family trees, ancestry charts, and genealogy printables at FamilyTreeTemplates.net. It was just a few months ago that I added ginormously large family trees to the site; designs so big (24-by-36-inch poster size!) that you can
print them at a copy shop or anywhere with a large-format printer.
The new additions include holiday-themed family trees with graphics such as two Thanksgiving family trees with full-color turkeys or color-your-own turkeys. These are perfect for
setting out at the “kids’ table” at this year’s dinner. Plus, there’s a colorful Christmas family tree with the name spaces placed below ornaments.
I’m proud that FamilyTreeTemplates.net has templates to represent all kinds of families, including adoptive and foster families and other configurations of relatives and people who love one another. The new batch of additions includes an extended family tree with room to record multiple spouses over a lifetime.
There’s a new style of radial family tree design on which the lines are set atop an image of a tree stump. There are versions going all the way up to eight generations.
I’ve also added a set of vintage-look ancestry charts that look like
they’re on parchment paper. Like many of the designs at the site, these are suitable for framing.
The new genealogy forms include: an ancestor research checklist, blank passenger lists, a newspaper research log, a list for nicknames, and a research
calendar.
Everything at the site is free to download and print in PDF format,
or $4 each for a Microsoft Word version that can be typed into, adding family members’ names and vital statistics. (Some, such as the large-format and fan-shaped trees, are only available as free PDFs, due to their
design.)

Ho ho! Santa, or perhaps my printables elves, have added new letters from Santa to SantaPrintables.com. This is the site where parents, grandparents, and so on can get a little help with a letter from Mr. Claus. There are dozens of letters, and you can choose from a free PDF version to use as-is or a DOC that can be typed into
using Microsoft Word to customize the text and add names and details.
Pick from letters tailored toward specific situations, with Santa reassuring children who are worried there’s no chimney, or that their
address had changed and he won’t be able to find them. There are letters referencing the Christian significance of the holiday as well.
The two dozen new letters include notes from a “magic elf,” letters to the whole
family, humorous letters, a historical St. Nicholas letter, a Santa “IOU,” and letters about reindeer games and how reindeer fly. I’ve also added a template that children can use to send Santa a thank you note.
There are letters especially for Christmas morning, Baby’s First Christmas, or the family pets. A handful of letters are not from Santa himself but rather Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, or the elves. I especially enjoy the joking letters intended for older kids or grownups.
Thanks so much for sending me your ideas for new printables. I appreciate your emails. Please remember to take a look at the FreePrintable.net Patreon page. Becoming a member with a monthly pledge means you’ll be supporting the creation of even more free printables. Happy printing!
