Ideas for a letter to Santa

Children often freeze at the blank page. Give them the first words and let them finish the sentence: one or two good things from the year, a thank you, then the wishes.

  • This year I learned to
  • I was kind when I
  • I helped at home by
  • My favourite day this year was
  • Next year I want to get better at
  • I am thankful for
  • For my family I wish
  • How is everyone at the North Pole?
  • Please say hello to the reindeer for me.
  • I will leave cookies and milk by the tree.

After the list

  1. Keep your list on a VISU Link page

    A VISU Link page at visu.to/yourname holds all your links in one place. Put your wish list, your registry or your shop there and change it any time without sending a new link.

  2. Drawing names for a gift exchange?

    The Secret Santa generator draws names with exclusions and sends each person a private link. Each person can share this wish list with their Secret Santa.

  3. Games for the Christmas party

    Printable trivia, charades, "Who am I?" and "Would you rather" cards, shuffled for your group.

Questions

How do I write a letter to Santa?

Start with "Dear Santa," and say who you are and how old you are. Tell him one or two good things from the year, say thank you for something, then list a few wishes and sign with your name. The ideas under the tool give a child the first words of each sentence. Three to five wishes read better than twenty.

Can I print a blank Christmas list for kids to fill in?

Yes. Leave the wishes empty and the page prints with numbered lines, a box to tick next to each wish and lines for the name, age and city. The Lined design uses the least ink.

How do I share my wish list with family?

Switch to Wish list and add each gift, with an optional link and a note such as the size or the colour. Then copy the link or send it on WhatsApp. Whoever opens it sees the list with clickable links and a button to make their own.

What does the share link contain?

Exactly what you typed: the name, the letter, the wishes with their links and notes, and the design. It is written into the link itself and is not stored on a server. Anyone who has the link can read it, so leave out a home address or anything private.

Which paper size should I choose?

Letter in the US, Canada and Mexico, A4 almost everywhere else. The page keeps a safe margin, so it prints right on a home printer at 100% scale.

Can I remove "Made with VISU"?

Yes. Untick "Show Made with VISU" before you print or download. It is free and needs no account.
