Letter to Santa Claus: how to write a letter and design a sample, where to send it to

The tradition of writing letters to Santa Claus before the New Year holidays has a long history. After all, New Year is a holiday when one believes in magic and everyone, regardless of age, expects gifts and positive changes in their lives. "Izvestia" tells what to write and how to draw up a letter to Santa Claus, so that the cherished wish will surely come true.

How to write a beautiful letter to Santa Claus: example

Traditionally, appeals to Santa Claus are written by hand and sent in an envelope by mail. But there are other ways. For example, print a letter on a computer or send it to the address with the help of a special online service.

In the text itself, you should first greet Santa Claus, addressing him respectfully and necessarily on "You" as an older person. Then you can wish dear Santa something good from the bottom of your heart. And after - tell a little about yourself.

In this case, do not immediately demand from Santa Claus gifts and start your address with the word "I want". Otherwise, you can be left with nothing, as in the famous fairy tale "Morozko". Most of all, the wizard favors those who ask for something not only for themselves, but also for others. For example, you can tell about your longtime dream, as well as ask for health and well-being for loved ones.

At the end it is necessary to thank Santa Claus for last year's gifts, say goodbye and put your signature.

The message can be composed in free form, but it is better to adhere to a certain structure, without making mistakes or blunders. Here is an example of how to write a letter to Santa Claus in your own words:

"Hello, dear Santa Claus! My name is Denis, I am eight years old. I live with my mom and dad in Moscow. I want to congratulate you and Snegurochka on the coming New Year and thank you for the presents I received last holiday! I liked them very much.

This year I moved to the third grade and I want to tell you what successes I have achieved during this time. I have made a lot of friends, we go to the sports section together. I study well, though not all subjects are easy for me. I promise that next year I will make more efforts.

In the new year I want to sign up for hockey with the guys and I dream about good skates to go quickly on the ice. Would be very happy to see them under our Christmas tree. Another dream of mine is that all children would have an opportunity to play sports and a big hockey ground would appear in our yard, where we would gather after school. I hope that my wish will come true.

I will be glad to see you at my place. I wish you a good mood and a happy New Year! Goodbye, Santa Claus! And a big hello from me to the Snow Maiden.

Sincerely, Denis.

How to draw up a letter to Santa Claus with your own hands: a template

Santa Claus will be happy with a letter and on ordinary paper, but it is better to approach the matter creatively and beautifully decorate the message. For example, decorate the sheet with New Year ornaments in the form of fir trees, snowmen, snowflakes, Christmas toys and other symbols of the celebration. Even in the store you can buy a ready-made form, but it does not replace the hand-decorated address.

If the message is written by a child who is not yet very good at writing, he can write only his name and age, and the gifts he wants to receive for the New Year, draw with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints, using bright colors.

Older children and adults can attach to the letter a small handmade craft or a New Year's card with a greeting or poem.

Joke creative letter to Santa Claus: sample

However, an appeal to Santa Claus does not necessarily have to be official and serious. Often it is drawn up in a humorous form. "Izvestia" collected the most creative appeals:

"Dear Santa Claus! For myself I would like to ask for a yacht. But not a toy one, but a real one, so that I could travel around the world on it. And for my mom, please bring perfume and a new fur coat. Good health and good luck to you!"

"Hello, Santa Claus! Dima from Rostov is writing to you. This year I have behaved well. Please give me the latest model of iPhone, like my classmate Andrei has, so that he doesn't feel better than everyone else in the class. For this I promise to study for only A's. Thank you in advance!"

"Dear Santa Claus! Last year I asked my husband. This New Year I leave him under the tree and ask him to send me a bag of candy and a bottle of champagne. Love you, Irina."

What is Ded Moroz's address: Veliky Ustyug, Moscow Estate, online

Previously, children wrote letters to an abstract Santa Claus, today he has his own mailing address, where correspondence comes. And not even one. So, in Moscow, letters come to the estate of Santa Claus, which is located in the Kuzminsky Forest at the address: 109472, Moscow, Volgogradsky Prospekt, vl.168d.

You can send a message both at a branch of "Russian Post" within the framework of the campaign "Mail to Santa Claus" and through special mailboxes that are placed in parks, museums, cultural centers and other popular places. You can also use a special form on the manor's website. Acceptance of letters has already started since November 18, 2024 and will last until mid-January 2025.

Families with children can also visit the Moscow Estate of Santa Claus or one of its branches. Last year, by decision of the mayor of the city Sergey Sobyanin, several branches were opened in Izmailovo Park of Culture and Recreation, Mitino Landscape Park and in the park of the Olympic Village in the west of the capital. They are available for visiting since December 1.

The main residence of the fairy-tale wizard is located in Veliky Ustyug. This is the place where children can meet Ded Moroz and receive gifts from him. The post office works here all year round, where all the letters and parcels addressed to Santa Claus arrive. But in order for them to reach, you need to specify the address: 162390, Russia, Vologda region, the city of Veliky Ustyug, Oktyabrsky pereulok, 1A, Santa Claus Post Office. Letters are also accepted online via the postal address listed on the website.

In addition, the regions have their own local wizards who also accept letters and wishes. For example, in the Leningrad region it is Sosnovoborsky Moroz Dobrodeevich, in the Sverdlovsk region - Ural Moroz, in Udmurtia - Tol Babai, and in Yakutia - Chyskhaan.

How to send a letter to Santa Claus to get an answer

However, those who hope to receive an answer from Santa Claus need not only to send a letter to the address given, but also to remember to specify their return address, including the index and name. Because the address is often missing or incorrect, senders never receive the long-awaited reply.

If the letter is sent by e-mail, the address should be entered into the contact database in advance, so that the response does not end up in the "Spam" folder. In this case, the child should be warned that December is the busiest time for Santa Claus, so he may not respond immediately. But you can write to several winter wizards at once. Then there is a probability that the reply letter will come faster.

Muscovites can also take part in the contest "The best letter for Santa Claus", which will last until January 19. The authors of the most creative and kind messages will then be invited to an award ceremony at the Moscow Estate and will receive gifts personally from Santa Claus.
