Letter from Santa Generator

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no paid upgrade: fill in the details, download the PDF and print as many copies as you like. Everything is built in your browser, so the child’s name, deeds and wish list are never uploaded.

The child’s name in the greeting and throughout, and — only when you fill them in — their age (written in words, like “seven years old”), their town or city, up to three good deeds, up to six wish list items and a sibling, friend or pet by name. Leave any optional field empty and the sentence that used it is left out or replaced, so the letter never shows a gap. The wording never promises a particular gift: Santa says the list reached the elves.

Classic has three warm, traditional letters (the snowy workshop, the busy season and a fireside letter). Funny has three letters about Rudolph eating the carrots, a sneezing elf and a squeaky sleigh. Nice List notice has two official-looking letters from the Nice List office — a notice with a record box and a seal, and an end-of-year report card with a gold star. All of the text was written for ZumaTools.

Start each deed with what the child did, as you would say it to them: “were brave at the dentist”, “shared your toys with your cousins”. Santa’s letters address the child as “you”. On the Nice List notice, the report card and the certificate, the elves describe the child instead, so the tool rewrites “your” and “yourself” with the pronouns you chose: “shared her toys”, “read ten books all by themselves”, with “They are” or “She is” agreeing correctly.

The Nice List certificate is a landscape page with the child’s name, their town, the good deeds as a list, Santa’s drawn signature, a gold seal and a line for the Head Elf (you) to sign. The envelope page has a North Pole address label with a Santa return address, a stamp, a “Dec 24” postmark and airmail edging, two small return-address labels and nine round seals to close the envelope.

The PDF uses the standard Times and Helvetica fonts so it prints the same on every printer without downloading anything. They cover Western European letters such as é, ü, ñ and ç, which print as typed. Letters outside that set lose their accent (Ł becomes L, ş becomes s), Cyrillic and Greek names are written in Latin letters, and emoji or other scripts are left out. The page lists every change, and the preview shows exactly what will print.
