Write your letter
Your letter is on its way
Jingle the elf is running it to the mailbox in the village square. Santa reads his letters at 17:00 North Pole time, and his reply will be here at 08:00 tomorrow.
You can write a letter to Santa online, for free. Type your first name, your age, your country, what you would like for Christmas, and what you have done to be nice this year. No email is needed, and you do not need an account.
An elf runs your letter to the mailbox in the centre square. Santa reads the day's letters at the mailbox at five o'clock every afternoon, North Pole time. So your letter will be waiting for him in time for the day's reading.
You will get a reply from Santa the next morning, at eight o'clock in your own time. The reply appears on this site, so check the page after eight. Keep the letter simple, and remember that Santa likes to hear from children of every age.
Tips for a good letter: write in your own words, say please and thank you, and tell Santa about one kind thing you have done to help someone. Long letters are fine, and short ones are good too. Santa's elves read them all.
We only ask for a first name, so you do not need to share a surname, a home address or an email. A grown-up can help with typing and can check the letter before it is sent. Have fun writing, and enjoy the wait for Santa's reply.
Before you write, think about the things you are thankful for this year. You might write about a friend, a pet, a family day out or a time you helped at home. Santa likes to hear about these things as much as he likes to hear about presents. If you cannot think of what to ask for, you can simply say thank you. The elves are kind readers, and a short, friendly letter is just as welcome as a long one.
