Short and sweet

  • I would like a puzzle, a toy dragon and some felt pens. I will leave you cookies and milk.

  • Please may I have a soccer ball and a warm hat? I have been kind to my little brother most days.

  • Hello Santa! I would love a scooter and some paints. I will leave a carrot for Rudolph.

  • I would like a space book, a telescope and a new pair of slippers. Please say hello to the elves.

Kind things I did this year

  • This year I helped at home and shared my toys. For Christmas I would love a train set and a board game for the whole family.

  • I learned to ride my bike and helped my friend who fell off hers. Please may I have a helmet with stars on it?

  • I have been kind to my sister and tidied my room. I would like a big box of building blocks, please.

  • I was brave at the dentist and I read every night. Can I please have a book about sharks and a new bookmark?

  • I helped Grandpa in the garden and carried the shopping. Please may I have a gardening set and a book about birds?

  • I looked after our dog when she was poorly. My wish is a soft blanket for her and a drawing set for me.

Big wishes

  • Dear Santa, my biggest wish is a puppy. If that is too much, I would love a robot, a kite and a pair of roller skates.

  • I would like a drum kit, but I know that is loud. A ukulele would be very good too. Thank you.

  • Please may I have a real telescope so I can see the moon and the planets? I will keep it safe.

  • My wish is a trip to the seaside next summer. For Christmas morning, a bucket and spade will do.

  • I would love a bike with a bell, a basket and a flag. I promise to wear my helmet every time.

For toddlers and little ones

  • Dear Santa, I like trains and ducks. Please may I have a train and a duck? Love from me.

  • I want a teddy and a big red ball. Thank you, Santa. I will be good for the elves.

  • Santa, I like cars and cake. I would like a car, please. Mom will help me write this.

  • I would like a little drum and a story about a bear. Please give a hug to Rudolph from me.

For older kids

  • Dear Santa, I know I am getting older, but I still believe. This year I would like a good soccer ball, a hoodie and a new sketchbook.

  • I have been working hard at school and at soccer. I would love new cleats, a book of puzzles and a day out with my family.

  • Thank you for every Christmas so far. This year I would like some art pens, a craft kit and a book of drawing tips.

  • I have been saving for a long time and would be happy with anything small and useful, such as warm socks or a good flashlight.

Cookies, carrots and thank yous

  • I will leave you two cookies and a glass of milk by the fireplace. There is a carrot for Rudolph too. Safe travels!

  • Thank you for the presents you bring every year. I made you a card, and it is next to the cookies.

  • Please be careful on the roof if it is icy. I have left a gingerbread cookie and a carrot, and the lights will be on for you.
