Writing letters to Santa Claus is one of the most iconic and memorable experiences of Christmas for many families — the children, of course, benefit, but so do the adults. You can’t beat the memories of reading a hilarious Santa letter from your own kid.
And there seems to be a few different types of kids when it comes to Santa letters. There are the sweet and kind children, the very thorough children, the demanding children, the inquisitive children, and then of course, the hilarious children writing hilarious letters to Santa Claus. Though they may not mean to be hilarious, that’s what makes them so great. You have to love and appreciate the innocence in those funny Santa letters, and they’ll be ones for you to cherish for many years to come — and to use as an embarrassment tool when you go over to their house on Christmas Eve.
Below you’ll find letters from hopeful children asking for everything from a “joowlre box” to more trees planted for the planet. There are even children who are specific enough (and kind enough) to include the complete online item number for each part of the gift they want. And of course they’re all funny and adorable, as all Santa letters should be. Here’s hoping these children get what they asked for this Christmas — except for that one kid who wanted a baby brother and every animal on the farm. That’s really up to their parents.

The Child Who Didn’t Understand The Assignment
Henry, 6.
Not a gift, but I guess it’s OK to vent to Santa Claus sometimes, too. This child is clearly angry at mom and dad because they’re mean for not letting him do “anethig” he wants. I feel you, kid. Life is tough sometimes, but I’m not sure Father Christmas himself can help with this one.

Hot Dogs For Santa
Harper, 3.
I wouldn’t mind if my son left Santa Claus some hot dogs instead of cookies by the fire place this year. I also appreciate that she wants Easter eggs for Christmas. Clearly, the Easter Bunny didn’t leave her enough eggs in the spring.

One For Me & One For Mommy
Charlotte, 2.5.
Who says the twos are terrible? This sweet 2.5-year-old dictated to her mom her wishlist, and lovingly included her mom in the gift receiving, including purple lipstick and a dolly house. I’m sure her mom would be thrilled to also receive those gifts from Santa Claus as well.

A Simple Request
Aria, 6.
It’s the amazing spelling for me. So Aria absolutely deserves a “joowlre box width meusic” for her creative phonetic spelling. Let’s be real. I still second guess myself when spelling “jewelry” and I’m a professional writer.

The Threatening Santa Letter
I, for one, would be pretty terrified of the consequences of not providing a pony — especially if the consequences involve that crazy looking pony on the letter coming to my room in the middle of the night and beating me up. So Santa, if you’re reading this, you better bring this kids’ pony. Stat.
