Letter to Santa

Kids write to Santa and add a drawing; every letter lands in one place.

What's inside

Children write their name, age, a good deed and a wish, and can upload a drawing. A grown-up's email appears only when the child wants a reply from Santa.

Collecting letters to Santa

Open the link on the first of December and keep it open until about the 20th. That leaves time to write replies before Christmas Eve.

Schools and libraries can put the link on a tablet at a Santa's mailbox table. Each child types with a helper, and the letters arrive as one list instead of a box of paper.

The wish answers are a quiet gift list for parents. Families sharing one link can read their own child's letter without opening the envelope.

Writing replies? The good deed answer is the line to quote back. Santa noticed, and it shows.

Letter to Santa questions

Do children need an email address?

No. Only a grown-up's email is asked, and only when the child wants a letter back. Without a reply, the form asks for no contact details at all. Keep it that way for a school or library, where you may not want to hold family emails. The name and age are enough to sort the letters, and the age box takes children from 2 to 12.

Can kids add a drawing?

Yes. A grown-up can upload a photo of a drawing from a phone. The drawing arrives with the letter, so you can print both for a reply. The drawing is optional, so a child who only wants to write can skip it. Take the photo in daylight on a flat table and it prints clearly. If you hang the drawings at a library or class, ask parents first.

Can I use it for a mall or community Santa event?

Yes. Change the intro to your event and add the date of Santa's visit. Delete the reply question if you won't be writing back. Share a QR code on a sign by the queue so parents open the form on their own phones while they wait, then close the form when Santa leaves. Each letter arrives with the child's name and age, so Santa's helper can read a wish aloud before the child reaches the chair.
