Write To Letters To Santa
For grown-ups who still need a little Christmas magic
Letters To Santa is for adults.
This is not a children’s Santa letter service, and we do not handle children’s Christmas wishlists, toy requests, present lists or messages intended for Father Christmas from children.
If you are a parent, guardian or child looking for a traditional Santa letter service, please use traditional methods
Letters To Santa is a space for grown-ups who want to write about Christmas, life, hope, loneliness, joy, memories, difficult years, small wishes, lost magic, fresh starts, or anything they would quietly like to say to Santa as an adult.
You might write because Christmas feels hard this year.
You might write because you miss how Christmas used to feel.
You might write because you are spending Christmas alone.
You might write because you still believe in kindness, wonder and the strange comfort of putting your thoughts into a letter.
Whatever brings you here, your letter will be treated with care.

You can write to us about things such as:
Christmas memories
feeling lonely at Christmas

Christmas on a budget

what Christmas means to you now
anything you would like to say to Santa as a grown-up
Your letter does not need to be perfect. It does not need to be polished. It just needs to be honest.
