What is a letter from Santa?
It is a personalized letter that opens when your child breaks the wax seal on a sealed envelope. You add their name and a few kind words about their year, choose a seal color, and share one link. The letter appears on screen, signed by Santa. It is free, and there is no account to make.
How do I write a good one?
Specific details make the letter feel real. Instead of “you were good this year”, mention one thing you actually saw: sharing a toy, practicing the piano, helping a neighbor, being brave at the dentist. Keep it to a few sentences a child can follow, and end with something to look forward to.
- Type your child’s name.
- Write what Santa noticed this year, up to 280 characters.
- Pick a seal color, press Create link, and send it to the parent’s phone, or open it together.
What should I avoid writing?
Promises of particular gifts, comparisons with other children, and anything that sounds like a threat. A warm letter that praises effort works better than one that scores behaviour. If you are unsure about a detail, leave it out; a short letter is still a good one.
Who is Santa on this page?
A friendly, generic Santa Claus. The artwork is original to Say Wishes and is not based on any film, brand or cartoon character. You can change the signature to something else, such as a nickname your family uses.
When should I send it?
Many families open the letter on 1 December, on the morning of Christmas Eve, or on Christmas morning. Because it plays when it is opened, you can create the link now and save it until the day you want.
Is it safe for children?
Open it together. The letter shows whatever the sender typed as plain text, with a notice that it was written by the sender. We do not store names or messages on a server, and the page asks for nothing in return. If something ever looks wrong, use the report link under the letter.
Will it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes, in any current browser. If the link opens inside the built-in browser of WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook, tap the seal button instead of shaking the phone. If you would like the whole family to see it, open it on a larger screen.
