Some letters are just business proposals. One little lad asked for "one job as a reindeer pilot" and attached a resume. Another wrote, "Dear Santa, I don't want toys. I want you to pay off the mortgage." Santa had to say, "Sorry, that’s above my pay grade—ask Mum and Dad."
The funniest ones are the threats. "If you don't bring me a PlayStation, I'm telling everyone you're not real." Ouch. Santa doesn’t negotiate with terrorists—especially not seven-year-olds with missing front teeth. He just brings a lump of coal and a stern note.
But the sweetest letters? Those are the ones asking for others. "Please give my little brother a warm coat," or "Can you make sure Grandma is happy?" It makes you want to cry into your hot cocoa.
How to Write Your Own (Yes, Even You, Grown-Up)
First, get a piece of paper—preferably one with a unicorn or a Christmas tree on it. If you’re an adult, just use the back of a bill. No judgement. Write your deepest desires, like "world peace" or "a nap that lasts three days."
Then, address it to the official postal address for your country. Drop it in a mailbox. But be warned: once it’s in there, it’s out of your hands. The postal workers might have a good laugh at your request for a jetpack.
And whatever you do, don’t write "URGENT" on the envelope. Santa’s route is already packed. He doesn’t need your passive-aggressive scheduling.
