writing contest

What better way to close the year than with a special wish to the good old sleigh rider himself? Show off your creativity and holiday spirit for a chance to win prizes in this new “Letter to Santa Claus” Writing Contest.  April Pad SEO Services is inviting all bloggers and writers to share their best Santa Letters and make us laugh or cry.

This holiday season, Apri Pad SEO Services is spreading cheer and inspiring creativity with the launch of a brand-new creative contest! Writers of all ages and backgrounds are invited to participate in the “Letter to Santa Claus” contest. This festive competition aims to discover the most heartfelt, imaginative, and well-crafted letters addressed to none other than Santa Claus himself.

What is the “Letter to Santa Claus” Writing Contest About?

The “Letter to Santa Claus” special contest includes real-life or imaginary experiences during the holiday season.  Participants can share real childhood experiences or create an imaginary setting built around Christmas.  The goal of these letters is to bring cheer, add a tidbit of goodness, or to make us laugh outright.

Below are three excerpts from previous “Letter to Santa Claus” submissions, each offering a unique glimpse into the hopes and personalities of different children. Two who admit to some naughty behavior, and one who has tried their best to be good.

However,  a complete letter has been added below that will surely make you smile.

  1. “Dear Santa, I know I’ve made a few mistakes this year, like sneaking extra cookies and drawing on the living room wall (sorry, Mom!). I promise to try harder to listen and be kind to my sister. If you can, could you please bring me that remote control car I keep seeing on TV? I’ll leave out extra milk and cookies for you this year!”
  2. “Hi Santa, I admit that I haven’t always been on my best behavior—I didn’t finish my homework a lot and sometimes told fibs to get out of chores. But I want to do better and help out more at home. If there’s still a chance, could you bring me some art supplies? I really want to make something nice for my family.”
  3. “Dear Santa, This year, I helped my grandma in the garden, shared my toys with my little brother, and did my best in school. My biggest wish is for everyone in my family to have a happy Christmas. If you have room in your sleigh, I’d love a new book to read over the holidays. Thank you for making Christmas so special!”

Open Letter to Santa Claus

writing contest

Dear Santa

Hope this letter reaches you before you leave the North Pole.  Since you have your eyes fixed on me (I saw a few drones passing close to my home and school), I have been an extra good girl this year. I know you did not send me any gifts last year, and I accept it, mia culpa. Yes, it was I who placed the dead rat in Myra’s lunch…but she was a stuck-up and you must admit, deserved it anyway.

Billy had it coming from a long way off, so placing a live sea snake in his science project was cool. But to be honest with you, Santa, that serpent refused to die! I was surprised, but glad when it bit him on his hand. My word, can’t trust science anymore, fish do breathe out of water. Ok, so all confessed.

My dear Santa, my gift is for all the world, not just me. Do us all a sweet, please don’t come this Christmas. No trick, no treat. So, if you noticed, this letter is accompanied by a box of chocolate cookies and two large kegs of milk. We hope you stay put until winter goes. Are you baffled as to why?

You shouldn’t be. Just take a look around, and if you are still lost, see the list below.

  1. The prices grow wings: Every year, just before you come, all the prices hit record levels, and the only thing that stays grounded is my empty wallet. So just stay away, please.
  2. Criminals renew their licenses: I am not accusing you, but it makes me wonder. Why are there so many robberies about the same time you arrive? Are these guys from the North, too? I would love to go for a stroll while the snow falls, but if you come, we will be under quarantine again.
  3. Animal Abuse: Don’t you think those poor reindeer need some rest? After flying all over the world hauling your weight and the bag around, it comes down to animal abuse, and it is a crime punishable under US laws. Be a good lad this year, let the poor beasts rest.
  4. Ozone Destroyer: Grandma says that they should rename you Santa “saw”, and she is right. Every year, just when you are about to land, the world starts cutting down the lovely pine trees. These trees are useful both as a protector of the Ozone, and a deterrent to aliens. Don’t tell me you didn’t know; they are used to form the triangle up North, so that aliens may know that we are smart.
  5. Finally, damaged roof: even when there are no chimneys, you keep landing on the roof! Who’s gonna pay for the repairs? Some people say it’s the snow, but you don’t fool me! Was it just the reindeer? No, but you and the chariot thing are destructive agents sent to inflict damage to our plummeting bankroll. Just to let you know, this year we have taken precautions. We have hidden cameras in place.

So, my dear Santa, please don’t come. I know you may be wondering why I have bought a BeeBee gun, or why I have been practicing to shoot down frisbees.  I assure you that I have no plans to shoot your reindeer down. Why would you think that?

By the way, I had nothing to do with the two thumbtacks on the math teacher’s chair. They just got there by themselves. I swear on all the water on Mars, I am innocent.

Happy Christmas, Santa, stay put. Stay home. Don’t come.
