All kids have two things in common:
- They’re cute (maybe not as cute as your niece, nephew, granddaughter, or pet pug … but almost as cute), and 2) All delightful tiny tots are in the process of developing their personalities, and watching them blossom can be a genuinely rewarding experience.
Some of these pint-sized scamps have so much personality oozing out of their precious little pores that they don’t know what to do with all of it. So some perform. Others become best friends with leopards and snakes. And, lucky for us, a good chunk of them write unintentionally funny, strange, and charming letters to Santa Claus on Christmas.
Below are 27 “Dear Santa” letters from some silly, sweet, and strange little small fries.
If they make you chuckle, please be sure to SHARE this post with your funny family and friends.
1. The kid who doesn’t have time for Christmas or Santa...
This kid didn't have time to go over his Christmas wishes again. Instead, he redirected Santa to someone who would know it all: his dad. At least he clarified what state Santa could find him in, so that's something.
2. The tyke who will one day convince you to buy a house sight unseen … That's the deal!
“Dear Santa, I like you. Do you like me? I would like a DS Mario please. Next year I will give you money. How does that sound? Pretty cool. It does to me. That’s the deal.”
… it does sound cool, Graham, it does.
3. The kid who’s sick of being a kid
"I wanted you to know I'm fine. I don't know how but could you possibly make it so I could turn into a dragon PLEEEEASE?"
At least after asking such a tall order, this kid took the time to wish Santa a Happy Valentine's Day.
4. The kid who demands PROOF!
"Could you please let me see you?" A pretty reasonable ask, all things considered. This kid also noted that it was his second time asking to see Santa, so he's been pretty patient about it.
5. The kid will likely grow up to be an attorney who specializes in prenuptial agreements.
“For Christmas I would like a $100, $50 gift card to somewhere I like, on a note signed by my parents saying that I am allowed to paint my nails. Sincerely, Kailyn. p.s. The $50 gift card can’t be to any fool places and it has to already have money on it.”
Sounds like a kid who is used to getting tricked!
6. Let's hope this angry youngster will be forever changed by a dog!
Wow, this kid had some not-so-nice words for Santa. He calls Santa both "stupid" and "fat." It doesn't stop him from asking for a puppy, though.
7. This kid has every intention of being a cop one day.
This kid is eagerly looking forward to a career in law enforcement. “For Christmas I want walkie-talkies. I would also like a police car, tickets guns and all the stuff police officers have."
8. The kid intends to revolutionize the way that babies pee!
This kid got a little sidetracked in overshare land. “My brother is Jaxton. By the time it is Christmas, he will be grown up. Bring him baby diapers. When I was three, he peed in my mouth one time, I spit it out.”
9. Meet a young turtle enthusiast who should totally live near the ocean.
A budding animal lover had a simple request. She asked for a pet turtle. “I’ve always wanted a turtle because turtles are the coolest.”
10. This kid who perhaps knows too much about a ghoul named Krampus.
Looks like Santa is going to have some words for this kid's dad. “My dad told me about this guy. His name is Krampus if you are naughty you sigh and then you say Krampus and Krampus puts the naughty kids in his bag and takes you to hell. P.S. I had nightmares."
11. This young bling enthusiast...
This kid decided to get specific with Santa. She doesn't want just any jewelry, but these specific items. At least she's extremely clear about what she wants!
12. The kid who will one day find a new way to power THE WORLD!!!
This kid's request is not that unreasonable, to be honest. “Santa if you brining presents with batteries being the batteries” Batteries are expensive, Santa.
13. This child was incredibly inspired by the story of Rapunzel.
This child has some diverse interests. “I woulde love five feet long hair. and a DSI and a elf. A red elf. And most of all the presets for me.”
14. This financial whizkid will settle for a cool billion if Santa doesn’t feel like writing back.
This kid gets major points for politeness, but his requests might be a little much. “Dear Santa Claus, I am so sorry of what I did in the past and thank you for the Christmas letter. I love it. But what I want for Christmas this year is 5.3 billion dollars. Pleas rite another letter this year. I love you.”
15. Could this be written by the future head of a sanitation department? I think so.
This kid hits all the notes in this letter. He has a little something for Santa. He makes some relatively reasonable requests and tries to show how he's earned it. At the end, he's hoping for improvement!
16. A future investigative poop journalist!
This child is very easygoing on the gift front, but she has some hard-hitting questions for Ol' Saint Nick. "When you poop, is your poop the color of holiday candies?" Fair question.
17. This kid who will grow up to be a chef … or a taxidermist! Yikes.
A pretty simple request, but we're looking for details. What do you mean by stuffed chicken? What kind?
18. This little girl who isn't afraid to share her parents' secrets with Santa.
"My mom is on a diet so we don't have cookies anymore," writes a kid who only has Cheez-Its to offer Santa. She does get major props for reminding Santa to take care of her pets. Dogs and cats deserve holiday love, too!
19. This fashionista doesn’t want to waste a valuable Christmas gift on new leggings!
This little fashionista is hoping Santa can lend her a hand, since he can see it all. “Hi it’s Sophie. If you knew wear my black leggings are Please write back and tell me.”
20. This kid deserves just about whatever he wants for helping his grandma!
“Im a good boy because i help my grandma. Im a bad boy because im lazy and I don’t want to walk my dog. What I want for Christmas is the golden ninja.” At least he's honest about his behavior. That definitely counts for something.
21. Kid by day, evil monkey caped crusader by night!
“Hi Santa. FYI If someone wants a monkey for Christmas, the monkey will be bad. I love u.” It seems a little ominous, but we'll play along…
22. Here's a tiny equestrian who will one day rule the world with his army of Christmas ponies!
This little one leveled a big threat at Santa. “You better bring my pony this year. Or there will be consequensis.” She drew the pony and everything, so get it right Santa. Pfft.
23. Little Miss Taylor Swift
Sarah's growing up, but she's not too old to believe in Santa. “I would like some Taylor Swift Tickets. I would also like clothes from Nordstrom and a boyfriend!”
24. Um … A future nudist?
This kid sounds like he's going to battle with his list. An Airsoft gun, and iPod Touch, a knife, and night vision goggles are interesting choices on their own. On a list together, there's definitely some questions to be asked. Last but no least is the emphatic, "NO CLOTHES!"
25. The kid who plans to have as much ‘mony’ one day as Bill Gates!
This kid doesn't want to hassle Santa too much. “if you can not Buy what I want take it easy on your self Just give me tens and one of mony.”
26. The kid who will make it his life mission to feed the hungry…
It's nice to see this kid is thinking of others during the holidays. “Last I would like something for my community. I would like a Micdonols (McDonlads) be cos I like going their and iting their.”
27. …And the ultimate hungry kid who demands food! LOL!!
This is but a simple request for Santa Claus. "I want pizza," this child wrote. No elaborations, no specifications, just something yummy. Same kid, same.
