Write a letter to Santa – as an adult! › WritersNL

Coming off of our wildly successful Summer Haiku Social Media Campaign (50+ submissions!), we wanted to put together another fun little prompt for the 2021 holiday season.

Most of us probably have fond memories of writing letters to Santa Claus – sitting on the floor with a pencil and a pad of paper, yelling out to nearby adults to ask how to spell the names of our favourite games and toys.

At our house, we’d always make sure to mention our siblings, politely ask about Mrs. Claus and the elves, and sometimes sneak in a little request for the betterment of mankind – all of my childhood letters to Santa asked for world peace!

So what does a letter to Santa from an adult look like? What do we ask the big man in red for when we’re old enough to buy our presents for ourselves? What would you ask this magical, mythical man to deliver on Christmas night?

As we head into the holidays, send us your adult letter to Santa to be featured on WANL’s social media channels!

As an added bonus, include a snapshot from holidays of yesteryear to accompany your submission.

Send your submissions to [email protected] to be featured. Submissions will be accepted and posted until December 22nd, 2021.

Please note: This is not an official WANL contest, therefore entrants will not receive payment or other prizes for participating. WANL’s Letters to Santa is intended to connect writers via social media, while simultaneously celebrating the Christmas season.
WANL thanks you for your interest.


Here’s an example from our Member Services Coordinator Wendy Rose to get you started on your Letter to Santa Claus:

Dear Santa,

How are things up at the North Pole? Has climate change impacted your neighbourhood? I hope everything is OK up there.

This year for Christmas, I would love to head into 2022 knowing that billionaires will be taxed more proportionately. Maybe we could do something about student debt too? Like… just get rid of it? You probably don’t have that authority, but I bet you would have some pull with the folks that do… maybe a couple lumps of coal could communicate the point?

Under the tree this year, I would personally love to receive a powerful vacuum — maybe a Dyson of some kind, if you’re feeling generous. Any attachments that help clean baseboards more easily would make a great stocking stuffer. A higher provincial minimum wage would be nice, and if you have it in your heart, the Metrobus routes could use a total do-over. As always, I’ll ask for world peace, but I know that’s a tall order.

Please be kind to my family, friends, and colleagues this year, as well as your staff — I really hope the elves are being paid a living wage with benefits for all their hard work! Thanks, Santa. Merry Christmas!

-Wendy Rose

P.S. It must get a bit lonely up there with just you, Mrs. Clause and the elves — have you considered polyamory?

Prepare for the Holidays with a Letter to Santa (and Template)

SHARE

THIS:

Of all the venerable Christmas traditions, there’s one in particular that gives children the opportunity to think about what they want and how to go about asking for it. It’s time to put pen to paper and write a letter to Santa Claus. After all, how else will ole Kris Kringle know what to deliver on Christmas Eve?

Every year, children from all over the world write letters to Santa with their wish list of gifts. The Christmas tradition is great for kids of all ages and gets them excited about the holiday long before December 25. 

Are your kids wondering how to write a letter to Santa Claus? Help them craft a fun and memorable message with some interesting facts about the big man himself and a handy letter-to-Santa template. 

Santa’s Many Names

Old Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Papá Noel—Santa Claus has a lot of names. Your children can begin their letter with “Dear Santa Claus,” his name in North America, or they can choose an alternative from a different part of the world.

  • Father Christmas (UK): Like Santa Claus in the US, the United Kingdom’s Father Christmas travels around the world in a reindeer-drawn sleigh delivering gifts to children on Christmas Eve.  
  • Papá Noel (Spain): Depending on where they live in Spain, children receive gifts from Papá Noel on December 24 or 25. Children in Spain and Latin America also traditionally receive a visit from the Reyes Magos, the Three Wise Men, who fill their shoes with candy and small gifts on January 6.
  • Weihnachtsmann (Germany): Weihnachtsmann, which translates to “Christmas man,” delivers gifts to families on Christmas Eve in northern Germany. In the country’s south, “das Christkind,” or the Christ child, takes care of the gift giving.
  • Babbo Natale (Italy): The Italian Santa is a little thinner than the North American version but has the same long white beard and red cloak. He delivers gifts to Italian families that they collect and open together on Christmas Eve. But the presents don’t end there. La Befana, or the Epiphany, also delivers small gifts and treats stuffed into the socks of good children, but she waits until the night of January 5.  
  • Papai Noel (Brazil): Children in Brazil leave a single sock on a windowsill for Papai Noel to find. He fills it with small gifts, candies, and treats. 
  • Noel Baba (Turkey): Christmas isn’t widely celebrated in Turkey, but some families practice common Christmas traditions on New Year’s Eve. They’ll decorate a tree and share small gifts. 

Your Letter-Writing Guide

It can be tricky for kids to know what they should write to Santa (other than their wish list, of course). You can provide kids with our template or examples of children’s letters to Santa to work from, but the best advice is to encourage them to write a simple note that’s fun and to the point. Here are a few ways to help your young ones bring the magic of the season to their message.

  1. Get festive. Before your children start writing, put on some carols and have them dress for the occasion in their favorite Christmas sweater or a red, white, and green outfit. Peel an orange (a traditional Christmas food in many places) or make a mug of hot chocolate so they have something to snack on while they write. 
  2. Pens, paper, and decorations. Set your children up with everything they need to write their letters: their favorite pens, some stationery or our template, stickers, and other craft supplies to make their message unique.
  3. Take a minute to think. Help your children think about what they would like to say before they put their pen to paper. If your kids are nervous about spelling, guide them through tough words. Let them know Santa doesn’t mind misspelled words—and encourage them to write freely and have fun!
  4. Greetings. Kids can choose to open their letters with “Dear Santa” or one of his other names. You can use this opportunity to teach them (if they haven’t learned this already) that using the word “dear” is a polite way to greet someone when writing a note or letter.
  5. First impressions. Your children can introduce themselves to Santa with their names and ages and tell him a little about themselves. 
  6. Wish away! Now comes the best part: the Christmas wish list. Help your children write a numbered list of the presents they would like to receive for Christmas. Encourage them not to make it too long, but to include as much detail as possible for each gift so that Santa gets it right. Most importantly, don’t forget “please” and “thank you”! If your young ones can think of someone who also deserves a nice present, their wish lists can include that as well. 
  7. Wrap it up. It’s time for your kids to sign off on their notes. They can use a polite send-off, like “Sincerely,” or “Merry Christmas,” before adding their signatures. 
  8. Make it unique. Once the letters are written, it’s time to decorate them. Your children can add wintery drawings like Santa, Christmas trees, snowmen, sleighs, or reindeer. They can also spiff up their letters with stickers or glitter glue.
  9. Send it. Now it’s time to address the envelope. If you and your children would like to participate in the USPS’s “Operation Santa” and receive a reply from St. Nick penned by a volunteer, address the envelope as:
    • SANTA CLAUS
      123 ELF ROAD
      NORTH POLE 88888

Be sure the address is written correctly before sealing your children’s letters inside and dropping them in the mailbox or at the post office. The USPS requires your return address in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope and a first-class stamp. 

If you’d rather write Santa’s response yourself, then Santa’s post office helpers have your back!  According to USPS, a volunteer from the post office will help remove the kids’ letters to Santa before sealing the envelope and mailing it back. Follow these steps to mail your letters and have your kids receive a reply postmarked from the North Pole:

  • Have your children write their letters to Santa and address them to “Santa Claus, North Pole”
  • Write your own responses to the letters on the back of the kids’ letters and sign them “From Santa”
  • Put the letters into an envelope, address it to your children at home, and add the return address “Santa Claus, North Pole”
  • Put a first-class stamp on the envelope addressed to your children.
  • Place the envelope addressed to your children into a larger envelope with sufficient postage and your return address and mail it to:
    • NORTH POLE POSTMARK
      POSTMASTER
      4141 POSTMARK DR
      ANCHORAGE, AK 99530-9998
  • Put the envelope in the mail before December 10, and your children should receive the letters in time for Christmas.

Christmas Around the Globe

Writing letters to Santa is a classic Christmas tradition, but it’s just one of many from around the world. Why not incorporate something new and international into your yuletide festivities this year?

  1. Hiding brooms (Norway). In some Norwegian households, Christmas Eve preparations aren’t complete until the children hide household brooms and mops for the night. It’s not because they’re trying to avoid chores, however. Some believe ghosts and spirits will take them on a midnight joyride through the night sky.
  2. Spider webs (Ukraine). There’s an old Ukrainian folk tale about a woman who couldn’t afford decorations for her Christmas tree. But she was kind, allowing a family of spiders to take shelter from the cold in the branches. To thank her, the spiders wove gossamer webs that glistened in the Christmas morning light. Some people in Ukraine decorate their Christmas trees with weblike ornaments to bring good luck to the household.
  3. Finding the star (Poland). Unwrapping Christmas presents can’t start for some Polish families until someone, sometimes the youngest child, spots the first star of the evening. Once they spot it, the festivities can officially begin.

Of course, there are plenty of other Christmas traditions to integrate into your festivities as well. Why not gather friends and family to sing carols door-to-door or decorate a gingerbread house alongside your Christmas tree this year? Who knows, perhaps the adventure of trying out a new activity each and every holiday season will become an annual family tradition in and of itself.

Not sure where to start? You and your children can learn how Christmas is celebrated in Brazil, bake Norwegian Rice Pudding for Christmas dessert, or make some delicious Welsh toffee. If your kids are keen to continue exploring cultures from around the world, they’ll love our World Edition subscription box. With it, they can explore new countries every month through games, stories, and hands-on activities that will encourage their thirst for knowledge and new experiences.

«I thought why Santa Claus did not bring gifts, now I realized that I wrote the letter incorrectly, thanks for the help, Roskomnadzor!»

An example of a letter

The correct format of a letter

Friends, let’s remember what parts a letter consists of. First, the sender’s address is written. Further, any letter begins with a greeting, then the body of the letter, the end of the letter, farewell, and the address of the recipient.

If we are going to write a letter to Santa Claus, what would be the greeting in this case? Everything is very simple. The main thing to remember is that in European letters there is no greeting, like “Hello, hello”, everything starts with an appeal to the addressee. The following expressions can help you here:

  • Cher re Noë l! — Dear Santa Claus!
  • Mon cher re Noë l! — My dear Santa Claus!

Enter your text here!

Let’s move on to the main part. Here you can write that you are looking forward to the New Year holidays and about what good things you did this year: where did you go, what did you do, what did you learn new things, how did you help people, etc. Also, don’t forget to make a polite request for gifts to you and your loved ones. Starting phrases might be something like this:

  • Je vous écris pour… – I am writing to you to
  • Je veux vous dire que… – I want to tell you that…
  • Cette année était… – This year was
  • Je veux vous raconter… – I want to tell you…
  • 9005 5 Je voudrais raconter comment j’ai passé cette année… – I would wanted to tell you how I spent this year…

  • Je voudrais vous raconter ce que j’ai fait cette année… – I would like to tell you that I did this year
  • J’attendais les f ê tes d’hiver avec une grande impatience… – I was waiting for winter holidays with big impatiently
  • Je voudrais vous prier… – I would like to ask you…
  • Je voudrais quelques cadeaux por moi, mes parents et mes amis… – I would wanted gifts for myself , my parents and friends … 90 324
  • Puisque je me comportais bien, je voudrais recevoir… – So like i myself good led i would wanted get 90 324

And finally, the final part. In it, you can express gratitude to Santa Claus. And, of course, say goodbye. For example:

  • Merci beaucoup… – Thank you very much…
  • Avec les meilleurs voeux… – Best regards
  • J’ attendrai votre ponse… – I will be waiting for your reply…

We will deal with this lis, and now a few words about the composition of the letter. Friends, be polite and friendly, Santa Claus loves it! As for grammar, you can use the conditional mood, it helps to express politeness: je voudrais… – I would like; je pourrais… – I could.

Letter to Santa Claus: sample

So, friends, we are writing our letter to Santa Claus. We bring to your attention an example of a letter, starting from which, you can write your own.

Lettre au Père Noël.

Cher Père Noël!

Je suis tres heureux que la nouvelle année s’approche! C’est ma fête préférée! J’adore l’hiver et la nouvelle année! En hiver, mes amis et moi, nous faisons du ski et du patinage sur glace. En vacances avec mes parents, nous allons dans les montagnes. Il est merveilleux! Dans les montagnes il y a beaucoup de neige et de l’air frais.

J’adore nouvelle année. C’est la fête la plus amusante et magique de l’année. Pendant la nouvelle année, nous sommes toujours en attente pour les événements fabuleux. Nous celebrons la nouvelle année avec notre famille. Ma mère et moi, nous décorons l’arbre de Noël et décorons la maison. Papa nous aide à faire le menage. A la veille du Nouvel An maman prépare un dîner de gala, et j’aide maman et la grand-mère.

Dans la nouvelle année, nous allumons des guirlandes, des bougies et nous attendons votre arrivée, cher Père Noël!

Cette année, je me suis très bien comporté. J’ai aidé mes amis s’ils ont eu des difficultés. Ensemble avec papa, nous avons construit des mangeoires pour les oiseaux. J’ai aidé ma mère à faire le ménage chaque semaine. En outre, je visitais ma grand-mère et l’aidais à faire le ménage. J’aime les animaux, donc je tâchais de nourrir les chats et les chiens errants, si j’ai eu de la chance.
