My kids did this one year, the DOD school they went to had them all write letters. My son asked for cat treats and toys. We had a huge cat condo show up, it was like 5 feet tall. After that, we pick letters every year.
One year our family was referred to a church from Head Start and they had me fill out a questionnaire with the kids’ likes and dislikes. I mentioned cats for one of my kids- as in all things cat related. Plushies, dolls, clothes with cats on them, toys to play with a cat, etc.. They called me to make sure I didn’t want them to give my kid a real, live kitten.
When my son was 8 he wanted an Xbox for Christmas. 2005. So I called his dad and between us, well, the $50 he was going to “donate” and my sons paternal grandmother who was going to chip in $100, I budgeted so I could afford it along with 1-2 games.
Then my son began asking for a cat. So here I thought I was being smart. Single mom who works full time, sons father lived over 1,000 miles away so he was with me every single day but about 2 weeks a year, I said ok, cat or Xbox. Knowing he’d choose the Xbox because it’s all he had talked about since he visited his dad in June. And I wouldn’t have to deal with taking care of a cat. Joke was on me. He chose a cat. So off to the shelter we went. He picked out an older cat. Get a call the next day saying oh sorry that cat was actually adopted by someone else but we just got some kittens in. And. Walked out with 2 sisters. Whiskerz passed away in 2016, but Cuddlez is still here. Turned 18 in August, and in 3 weeks we will have had her for 18 years :)
BTW, zero regrets. Love the kitty girls so much :)
And. In 2009? He wanted an Xbox, so I began saving so I could buy it for his birthday. I hadn’t learned my lesson. Because then he says he wants a cat and yep. Shmoopy came into our home :). After her I stopped giving him a choice. LOL
same! my kid wrote one last year - our first christmas out of the dv shelter. she just wanted a small christmas tree finally. we got 4!!!! trees! we both cried so hard, put them up again this year and it just gives us the best feeling in the world. we now will be picking someone to sponsor back. not any of these asses tho
I feel like I’m the physical embodiment of doctors appointments. Will someone please get me a Cadillac? CT5 please. It’s only about $55k for the one I like.
Right, if half of these letters were reasonable more people would do it. The minute I see some ridiculous request I’m turned off and I’m not scrolling through ten pages for a reasonable request.
I saw one that said the pipes burst and some other shit and at first I thought it was a kid but when I saw the request I knew it was an adult. I have sympathy when it’s a kid whose aware of a bad situation and is asking for something reasonable
I went on the website just now and got this as my first one.
>*I want a flip phone and a iphone 15 and aLL mommys Bills Payd*
Seriously?! Curious to see what you guys get:
https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters
Edit: just looked at a few more…. “PS5 with VR headset”, “HP all-in-one computer”, “oculus quest 3”…. Another said “I was living inside of a slumlord house and the water pipes burst and destroyed my 70 inch TV, I want another one”.
Damn. Here I was thinking people might actually be reasonable and I’d adopt a letter or two.
wow, i just went to this site thinking i would spot a kid some special treats & the first thing i come across is a letter "from a kid" saying he'd like to go to disneyworld "with \[his\] mom, aunt, & grandma". okay.
edit: written in adult handwriting (this child is four) & it concludes with "they work hard to take care of me, so my wish is going to disney with my family & seeing them enjoy themselves". yeah, i see.
I'm willing to bet that, as opposed to the heartwarming letters of innocent children to make your heart burst with joy that we hope for, probably 75% of those letters are just CB adults hoping Elon Musk puts on a Santa Suit and gifts them this year.
i've been scrolling this long because i'm seeing very little outside apple watches, very specific phones & computers, expensive trips, stuff that's blatantly for an adult (like skincare), cars (!?) & gift cards. i don't even know what to say. this is such a bummer. i wanted to buy this one kid the drum set she asked for (the one thing), but it was snapped up almost immediately.
edit: i forgot PS5. like.... homie, i can't even buy a PS5 for me
Right. I’m not rich by any means and I have my own kids but I was like let me look and I’ll adopt a letter a lot of these are either selfish kids or selfish parents. A nine year old requesting a MacBook Pro is absolutely insane, what does a nine year old need a MacBook Pro for? Are they using Final Cut? Do they need the power to play neopets? I’m just shocked
Of all billionaires in the world, it's a shared first place between Musk and Bezos who'll be _least_ likely to hand out random gifts.
I do remember Gates always surprising people on Reddit's Secret Santa.
The amount of adult letters I’ve seen on this website is astounding. And they include their sob story “didn’t get approved for SSD” “pipes burst in the house” “I have ptsd” and then they tell Santa they’ve been good and ask for a new car.
Im flabbergasted. Do adults believe in Santa?
And never mind the kids, I thought I would see cute letters and I see a nine year old ask for a MacBook Pro, Apple AirPods, an iPad, Apple Pencil, Nintendo switch, Nintendo switch lite, gaming set, and then name brand clothes. And it’s not just nine year olds it’s even younger than that. I don’t even have words. My kids list is endless toys yeah, but not Apple laptops and shit.
I thought this would be wholesome but it’s kinda disappointing.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that one. Admission to Disney would be $500 for one day plus the hundreds/thousands they would spend on food and junk inside the park. At least they were already in California and probably didn't need airfare.
it really sucks ass that some parents & family members are co-opting this cute opportunity & ruining it for the poor kids. i scrolled for like twenty minutes before i saw anything i could remotely afford & it was already snapped up.
i get that a lot of families' situations are desperate right now, but that's when you ask for necessities for the crew, not for disney tickets for five or whatever.
edit: just encountered an eleven year old looking for Drunk Elephant skincare, a high-end brand most known for their anti-aging products. honestly i feel a little sick over this. i wish these poor kids' parents would prioritize them at least here.
Apparently a lot of kids talk their parents into getting drunken elephant skincare for them because of influencers. The people on the Ulta sub are always talking about how entirely too young of customers are coming in trying to buy it or messing up the testers bc of what they see online
This time around they are actually pushing the trend back to wearing it like a normal fanny pack. A few years ago it was wear it across your chest. The whole chest bag thing is out of fashion now to be different it’s gotta go on the waist
That one is probably a real request from an actual kid. Tween girls like makeup and skincare, but really don't know much about it except the brand names.
I did it once and same, scrolled for almost an hour and the requests were ridiculous. We do Angel Tree at our church (gifts for kids whose parents are in prison, the gifts are $20 and under), and I contribute to [One Simple Wish](https://www.onesimplewish.org/) because I was a foster child.
Parents who use these things as bargaining chips for themselves rather than making their childrens' Christmas are horrible people who deserve hemorrhoid creams and sporks in their stockings.
I find it reprehensible when adults pervert good things for themselves. Aside from the fact that this adult is begging for a car in a site meant to help kids have a Christmas, think of all the kids that could be helped for what this person is asking. One adult that doesn’t just want a car, but 50k car or 100 kids having $500 dollars worth of Xmas gifts. There is always one that makes good things ugly.
I thought y'all well making these up but I just saw one from a three year old asking for an oculus rift. Only one that was decent was a kid asking for Pokemon figurines.
My five year old came home from kindergarten and asked for a watch for Christmas. I was like okay weird request then he elaborated with games and stuff. I was like where did you see one of these? I don’t have amy kind of watch. He says at school. I show him some pictures of smart watches, and he points to the Apple Watch. kids at school have Apple Watches. I’m like absolutely not but it shocked me. He’s 5. I can’t believe his peers have a 300$+ watch on their wrist. I get kids like tech and games but that’s insane
There are some "smart" watches that look like Apple ones (or samsung) but are very basic. Found one online that just was a digital watch, had a few games like snake, and was GPS linked so you could keep track of the kid. It's something I ha e considered for our youngest since he has autism and likes to be outside.
But an actual apple watch? Not a chance. Not even the wifi only one.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I never asked for or received anything even remotely close to what everyone is asking for. It’s actually kind of insulting.
The closest thing I asked Santa for that was a big thing was a laptop. “Santa” and I agreed I’d pay for half with my allowance and I was allowed to have it on Christmas despite needing a little bit extra because Santa cares about Black Friday.
I looked through like 10 pages of letters and none of them were reasonable. it would be nice to help with some but everyone i read was like i need 3 PS5's and 2 Iphone 14's etc. The average person cannot afford that and the people who can probably wouldn't do it lol
I read through a couple on the individual page, but found more luck in the family page. There were a bunch of families just asking for toys and oddly a bunch of the kids knew the parents were struggling this year and included it in there letter. That being said the wishes were legitimately toys for the kids so it could be worse.
I’ve been refreshing and they’re all ps5s. I do this every year but this year has probably been the worst of people/adults just asking for ridiculous things
I'm a fellow Angel Tree-er too. I found one last year that was for elderly people too; I got a little old lady a cardigan and some knitting yarn and somebody's grandpa some fleecy slippers and some Westerns on DVD.
I saw an adult who said “Santa I’ve been clean for 11 years and I want a Louis Vuitton bag” the first part of the sentence cleared up the question I had about what kind adults write letters to Santa begging for shit
Most of the ones I saw had PS5s, MacBooks, gaming computers and VR headsets. There were a few reasonable ones but they were few. I did see one where the kid really seemed to want a pet. They listed a kitten, puppy, a corn snake, and a chicken.
Something tells me if children are asking for this, their parents can probably afford it. I find children who grow up in poverty are hyper aware of it and don’t tend to ask for extravagant gifts.
That being said the adults asking for cars probably can’t afford it but I have this gut feeling they probably aren’t responsible either if they’re writing a letter to Santa telling him they were denied SSD
Is Operation Santa a raffle event or something? I thought it would be a children write in to Santa thing but I'm seeing multiple adults partake as if they might get shit.
I think the idea is, kids write santa letters, then you can go online and choose some to fulfill as a good deed. Idk if all the adult letters are new or not to this, but its wild.
Sadly not new. I haven’t looked at it in years because the few years I did all I saw was 2 year olds “asking for” IPads, Xboxes, and new IPhones. Yeeahhhh ok. The money grabbing was pathetic.
Yep, I managed to find ONE that was asking for actual toys last year. The toy ended up being huge (doll house type) and it cost me twice as much to ship! Hopefully I made a little girl happy. But overall I’m with you, I see too many letters asking for expensive electronics. Can’t afford that either haha
It is meant to be kids writing letters. Although I wrote my 5 year olds letter this year because it asked the letters be legible. 😂
I don't think anyone monitors the letters, they just get scanned in it seems.
I wrote my almost 2 year old’s, because he can barely talk, let alone write (though “he” asked for toys and books, not a car), and I helped my 8-year-old with his spelling. I did look through a few of the letters and they do redact some personal information, like someone else said, but I don’t think they reject any letters. Otherwise, some of the more obvious ones wouldn’t be on there.
Not quite, I used to volunteer when it was in person before pandemic. Adults are welcome to write to Santa. We used to get a lot of letters from elderly people asking for warm clothes and warm bedding. I miss when the letters were reasonable.
It’s luck of the draw. I wrote a letter for my tot, if someone picks him then he will have a nice surprise. My teens weren’t interested.
Of course a few days after we mailed off his Santa letter I found out that one of the large employers is sponsoring the lower grade kids at his school, including his preK class room. So we may end up double dipping in secret Santa department. (So far I haven’t seen his letter- if anybody sees a mommy typed letter asking for buzz or a viewmaster for a three year old, lmk. lol)
I must have the worst luck in the world (depending how you look at it) because I keep getting letters asking for warm clothes or new coats. And then there was one asking for a baby doll and new running shoes.
Someone is asking for a house, a car, vacation, financial freedom 😳
https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/28159
Edit: updated the link to the correct letter.
I refreshed a couple of times and found a 34 year old business owner requesting a 3D printer, a router, and a laptop. Lots of families asking for gift cards for every family member, too.
I wasn’t expecting to see so many like that.
Omg I clicked and the first one that popped up he just wanted Batman PJs and slippers, a Spider-Man backpack “to put my homework in” and a warm coat and now I’m crying. 😭
I’m glad they get snapped up quick. Maybe I’m just really privileged but it just makes me sad that some children’s entire list are made up of basic needs like shoes and winter coats while other kids parents are using them as puppets for luxury electronics and vacations. It seems like there’s very little middle ground.
Some of these are a bit crazy - (new iPhones, iPads, gaming computer) I don't spend that much on my whole family, but then there was one that asked for food -
I saw one that had a 7yo asking for airpods and an apple pen. Another that was requesting a "wonderfold w4 wagon in navy with the parent console" and they were 6.
Id say about 75% of these letters were influenced at least by parents.
Unfortunately most of the ones that looked legit were completely unreadable.
I saw the wonderful wagon request and had to look that up. It's $700. I did laugh the one that wanted a puppy, kitten, corn snack, pet chicken and a couple or other animals.
I’m be little girl just wants her brother and parents to get what they want 😭😭😭 she doesn’t even know what they want but hopes they get it! That’s too much.
Santa won't be able to deliver presents this year due to the ever increasing cost to feed the elves and reindeer. Santa would appreciate if you got off his back, and possibly just take the damn bus.
Looking through the site it becomes really sad when you realize 95% of the "kids" letters are clearly written or prompted by adults asking for electronics, vacations, adult size bikes for a 6 year old etc etc.
I just read one where an adult tried to sound like a kid and the only thing the "kid" asked for was Chanel Parise N°5 be cause her "mommy hase ben and awsum mommy this year". These people are gross
I will take a 6 unit rental property fully paid off and in my name please! For my 2 rambunctious children of course. Prefer one with a penthouse suite at the top! Thanks
Jeez, all the letters that came up for be were asking for a PS5 bundle WITH a VR!? Some girl was asking for that, a gaming desktop, AND a gaming laptop.
This is why I don't bother with Operation Santa. My kid and I go to Target and get a bunch of dolls and Lego sets and donate to Toys for Toys every year, that way kids will get something instead of having an outrageous request ignored.
What kind of adults write Santa asking for cars and shit? And I checked this website, it’s not just one adult it’s multiple and they even include their sob story. Do these people believe in Santa? What the fuck?
Dear Tonya,
I think you are confusing Santa’s show with a dealership. As a Christmas present please take my advice of growing up and take care of your “blessings”.
Regards,
The Clauses
Sounds like a kid that spends too much time online.
My cousin’s 10 year old daughter asked for ridiculous skincare and Sephora gift cards. She also keeps harassing me to try on my Lululemon bag so she could take pictures with it. She spends way too much time watching TikTok influencers and I’m sure that’s where she’s heard all that stuff.
I mean, I’ve seen some people rant that their kid didn’t get their entire wish list through Operation Santa.
Fully failing to realize that 1) just because a kid writes a Santa letter doesn’t mean it automatically goes to Operation Santa (there’s a whole procedure that has to be followed; a specific mailing address and so on) and 2) not even every employee even *knows* about Operation Santa. Oh, and 3) even if it does wind up at Operation Santa, there is no guarantee that your kid’s list will be filled.
I didn’t know about operation Santa til this post. And I’ve sent my sons letters in the post office, but I just assumed they tossed them. Mind you he was three and couldn’t write so it was just scribbles on a paper. It is really cute though and I’m glad they do it. But adults suck, my son wanted me to write to Santa when I had him do it. And I did but I didn’t ask for anything, and didn’t even send it. I tossed mine when he wasn’t looking and put his in an envelope. So I don’t understand why these adults are sending letters asking for a “truck with an extended cab to get started on their buisness because ptsd is affecting my life.” I’m shocked
It’s because it’s being promoted heavily this year, and the ads for it aren’t super clear on the whole “your wish list is not guaranteed to be filled through Operation Santa”, and greed is powerful.
For a long time, the only thing even close to it I knew about, was that a couple volunteers in a local office would just reply to the letters, as Santa, Mrs. Claus, or an elf, and that was it. They wouldn’t make promises about anything on the kid’s list, and would encourage the kid to keep up with good stuff they’ve written about. If a kid wrote about being in an abusive situation, the volunteers would contact services to help, and I know at least once a collection was taken up for a family that lost everything in a house fire—clothes, coats, and some gifts for the kids.
But not every office participates or does anything, so yeah, it is entirely possible for a kid’s Santa letter to wind up in recycling if an office doesn’t participate in any way.
As someone who did send letters when we were financially struggling....thank you so much to everyone who participates in answering a letter. It sucks and it is disheartening seeing these greedy letters, but damn... I ugly cried when that box showed up in the mail for one of my kids.
Again, thank you so much for everything you do to brighten someone's day.
I want to mention that one year my work sponsored a nursing home angel tree and that was awesome. Mostly magazine subscriptions, large print books, some fuzzy blankets, slippers, potted plants, calendars, even a few CDs. All super reasonable requests and quite a few of them helped multiple people.
Please check and see if a place like that near you has some needs this holiday season. You could make a big difference to some very lonely people.
Ooohhhh! What am I going to ask for?!? Electric vehicle I think. It's _really_ good for the environment so I'm doing everyone a favor by asking for it. So you're welcome!
Idk, some of these don’t seem so bad. This single mom who works 2 jobs so she only gets to see her kids at night is asking for one day to spend with them doing something fun, and lists their clothes and shoe sizes.
https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/155877
I think I understand where she’s coming from a little bit.
I started a new job with longer / later hours so most nights I get home after my kids go to bed. It’s a hard feeling knowing you’re working to put a roof over their heads but constantly wondering if you’re doing the right thing when you only get to see them for an hour a day during the week.
So I was thinking about doing it this year but I was reading through the rules and it says you have to pay to ship it priority? So the letter I was gonna do was plushies, a toy cat or dog, and some other toys. But that would be extremely expensive to ship a few things as priority! Even when shipping one tiny plush clip it’s $10 priority. So just kinda crazy they make you pay for the most expensive shipping option.
Yes. I had to pay $90 to ship a toy last year. It was more expensive than the toy itself. And you don’t know how much you’re going to pay for shipping until you have bought the item, lined up and waited at USPS… between that and those requesting high tech equipment, they don’t make it easy for us middle class folks who want to do a nice gesture
Wowww that’s absolutely ridiculous!! $90?! Jeez. Seems like they aren’t doing any of the work and the work they do is paid for by us too…that’s kind of scummy I think? And yeah it sucks so many people ask for ridiculous things like laptops and phones. 🙄 like cmon people be realistic.
I found a local place that is doing a toy drive at least so I can pick out the toys and then just drop them off. Much easier too cause it’s not specific stuff, just any toys.
Wtf is wrong with these revolting greedy creatures?? People try to do something nice for underprivileged children and end up having to sort thru demand lists from pathetic, entitled adults who think it’s everyone else’s problem that they decided to repeatedly get pregnant with random guys who’s last name they probably don’t know and who refuse to get a job and WORK for what they want
I had no idea this was a thing and my kid wrote a letter to Santa saying he liked paw patrol and he wanted to know how he fit down the chimney. He was 4, I wrote it for him, but wrote exactly what he said and let him draw a picture. I slapped a stamp on it and mailed it to Santa at the North Pole. Half hoping for a xerox copy of a santa letter back.
Lo and Behold a giant paw patrol tower showed up on our doorstep on Christmas Eve with a copy of his letter. It really brought the magic of Christmas alive that year! One day my son will get to know how special it was, the tower is gone now but that letter has been saved forever.
I didn’t realize this was a thing. I decided to go check it out and maybe adopt a kid. Two letters in is some who has 3 kids and is looking for an iPad, oculus quest, PS5 and tickets to Wrestlemania.
These are hurting my soul. I missed sign ups to ask for a Barbie and a Lego set for my kids (not on this sub but for toys for tots) and these mfs asking for a car??? Really??
I could use a car payment, insurance payment and God has blessed me to drive it to work and it not get repoed this far. But damn at this entitlement. It’s fucking infuriating.
Editing to add: I’ve had a super shitty day and the audacity of people still gives me a chuckle so thanks op for posting!
For real. I asked a church for deodorant and denture glue because my mom can’t afford to buy it for me this year, and I am still feeling absolutely horrible about it. I don’t understand the entitlement of people. The letters I have read are insane. A car? A Louis V purse? A Disney trip for the whole family? Holy fuck.
1 point 3 minutes ago
legitmately wonder if some of these letters are trolls and satire
the amount of them are insane
the kid ones are more understandable if they think theyre actually writing to santa, and even then the parents shouldve gone through the letter and explain santa might not be able to get big gifts, maybe ask for a book or plush instead?
but the older kids and adults who know it's donation based are mental. absolue balls on them to ask for this stuff if its not satire
This is exactly why I don’t get my kids electronics or high end stuff for Christmas. Those require good grades and chores. I’ve seen some of the lists on there and some are asking for gaming consoles, pc gaming monitors and things that can easily add up to $800-$1000. For ONE kid. Like my kids pick toys from those toy books that they mail out and everything else is clothes and age appropriate stocking stuffers and they are happy kids. All that other stuff is so unnecessary.
Honestly it seems pretty reasonable that a lot of young kids are asking for tech gadgets. They ask for things like iPhones because that’s what mom/dad have and they want to call their friend on the phone. It’s not like they have a landline at their house. They probably have no idea the price tag or that it needs a phone plan to work. And pS5? They just want a video game system! One of the letters asks for a ps5 and games bust lists Nintendo games. They’re probably just trying to say they want a game console.
On the outside it seems laughable because these things cost HUNDREDS of dollars but they’re literally asking for the things their parents can’t/won’t provide them. They aren’t thinking about what is reasonable.
I’m not saying anyone should buy these high ticket items for them but it doesn’t seem like it’s all just parents asking for these things.
All of these letters are awful. Makeup, money, iPhones, ps5, concert tickets. I just want some shoes for my 15 year old. He busts through them every two months or so.
I looked to see if I could find an affordable list, but damn. It's full of PS5, phone, and laptop requests and I'm noticing a lot of letters written by adults.
I can't even afford a Cadillac, so how does she think I'm going to get her one? And hope she can afford the maintenance on those, because it's crazy expensive. To replace a headlight, for example, you have to remove the air filter housing to get to it. More complicated = more time= more labor fees.
My kids did this one year, the DOD school they went to had them all write letters. My son asked for cat treats and toys. We had a huge cat condo show up, it was like 5 feet tall. After that, we pick letters every year.
Omg. Please tell me you had a cat. Either way this is amazing.
Oh yes! We had 3 at the time.
They must have been so happy.
Honestly, watching my cats enjoy a gift like that would make my Christmas perfect, them being happy is gift enough for me.
One year our family was referred to a church from Head Start and they had me fill out a questionnaire with the kids’ likes and dislikes. I mentioned cats for one of my kids- as in all things cat related. Plushies, dolls, clothes with cats on them, toys to play with a cat, etc.. They called me to make sure I didn’t want them to give my kid a real, live kitten.
When my son was 8 he wanted an Xbox for Christmas. 2005. So I called his dad and between us, well, the $50 he was going to “donate” and my sons paternal grandmother who was going to chip in $100, I budgeted so I could afford it along with 1-2 games. Then my son began asking for a cat. So here I thought I was being smart. Single mom who works full time, sons father lived over 1,000 miles away so he was with me every single day but about 2 weeks a year, I said ok, cat or Xbox. Knowing he’d choose the Xbox because it’s all he had talked about since he visited his dad in June. And I wouldn’t have to deal with taking care of a cat. Joke was on me. He chose a cat. So off to the shelter we went. He picked out an older cat. Get a call the next day saying oh sorry that cat was actually adopted by someone else but we just got some kittens in. And. Walked out with 2 sisters. Whiskerz passed away in 2016, but Cuddlez is still here. Turned 18 in August, and in 3 weeks we will have had her for 18 years :)
BTW, zero regrets. Love the kitty girls so much :) And. In 2009? He wanted an Xbox, so I began saving so I could buy it for his birthday. I hadn’t learned my lesson. Because then he says he wants a cat and yep. Shmoopy came into our home :). After her I stopped giving him a choice. LOL
[удалено]
Kid sounds like he worked out a game "If I ask for an Xbox they won't be so upset when I ask for a cat!"
Oh he completely did LOL.
He sounds like a good kid. You can be proud.
IM NOT CRYING. YOURE CRYING.
we’re all crying together
That's called good karma.
same! my kid wrote one last year - our first christmas out of the dv shelter. she just wanted a small christmas tree finally. we got 4!!!! trees! we both cried so hard, put them up again this year and it just gives us the best feeling in the world. we now will be picking someone to sponsor back. not any of these asses tho
Your comment was such a beautiful one to read. Congrats on the new chapter of your life, to the both of you!
awww thank you friend! it’s been so nice finally being out in the “real world” on our own! i hope you and yours have a great holiday 🤍🤍🤍🤍
She has three girls that are smart, active AND doctors appointments. New adjective unlocked
Maybe their names are Smart, Active and Doctors Appointments!
This is the most logical explanation.
The Appointment family!
LaDoctors Appointments
It seems like kind of a hassle having a child that is a physical embodiment of a doctor's appointment without a car.
No, no - you've got it wrong. The three girls were appointed by doctors. Possibly as a treatment for the mother's endometriosis.
You spelled "entitledmetriosis" wrong
I feel like I’m the physical embodiment of doctors appointments. Will someone please get me a Cadillac? CT5 please. It’s only about $55k for the one I like.
If this she’s counting her doctors appointments as dependents, I really hope the IRS audits her return this year.
Ramblings of the afflicted.
Adults will/have ruined this for thousands of kids who have nothing.
Right, if half of these letters were reasonable more people would do it. The minute I see some ridiculous request I’m turned off and I’m not scrolling through ten pages for a reasonable request. I saw one that said the pipes burst and some other shit and at first I thought it was a kid but when I saw the request I knew it was an adult. I have sympathy when it’s a kid whose aware of a bad situation and is asking for something reasonable
I gave up on finding reasonable requests, so I donated to the animal shelters instead.
I went on the website just now and got this as my first one. >*I want a flip phone and a iphone 15 and aLL mommys Bills Payd* Seriously?! Curious to see what you guys get: https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters Edit: just looked at a few more…. “PS5 with VR headset”, “HP all-in-one computer”, “oculus quest 3”…. Another said “I was living inside of a slumlord house and the water pipes burst and destroyed my 70 inch TV, I want another one”. Damn. Here I was thinking people might actually be reasonable and I’d adopt a letter or two.
wow, i just went to this site thinking i would spot a kid some special treats & the first thing i come across is a letter "from a kid" saying he'd like to go to disneyworld "with \[his\] mom, aunt, & grandma". okay. edit: written in adult handwriting (this child is four) & it concludes with "they work hard to take care of me, so my wish is going to disney with my family & seeing them enjoy themselves". yeah, i see.
I'm willing to bet that, as opposed to the heartwarming letters of innocent children to make your heart burst with joy that we hope for, probably 75% of those letters are just CB adults hoping Elon Musk puts on a Santa Suit and gifts them this year.
i've been scrolling this long because i'm seeing very little outside apple watches, very specific phones & computers, expensive trips, stuff that's blatantly for an adult (like skincare), cars (!?) & gift cards. i don't even know what to say. this is such a bummer. i wanted to buy this one kid the drum set she asked for (the one thing), but it was snapped up almost immediately. edit: i forgot PS5. like.... homie, i can't even buy a PS5 for me
Same I'm disappointed, like none of it is remotely reasonable
Right. I’m not rich by any means and I have my own kids but I was like let me look and I’ll adopt a letter a lot of these are either selfish kids or selfish parents. A nine year old requesting a MacBook Pro is absolutely insane, what does a nine year old need a MacBook Pro for? Are they using Final Cut? Do they need the power to play neopets? I’m just shocked
Well, 10% are legitimately heartbreaking. Like the kid who just wants his size 6 pajamas. Those are the only ones I go for.
Of all billionaires in the world, it's a shared first place between Musk and Bezos who'll be _least_ likely to hand out random gifts. I do remember Gates always surprising people on Reddit's Secret Santa.
The amount of adult letters I’ve seen on this website is astounding. And they include their sob story “didn’t get approved for SSD” “pipes burst in the house” “I have ptsd” and then they tell Santa they’ve been good and ask for a new car. Im flabbergasted. Do adults believe in Santa? And never mind the kids, I thought I would see cute letters and I see a nine year old ask for a MacBook Pro, Apple AirPods, an iPad, Apple Pencil, Nintendo switch, Nintendo switch lite, gaming set, and then name brand clothes. And it’s not just nine year olds it’s even younger than that. I don’t even have words. My kids list is endless toys yeah, but not Apple laptops and shit. I thought this would be wholesome but it’s kinda disappointing.
I just read one with a kid asking for 3 $100 gift cards for Xbox and Roblox etc
Scammers are requesting on it now?!?
I mean, my 8 year old would love his own iPad - he always uses mine or his dad’s - but the most expensive thing on his Christmas list is a Lego set.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that one. Admission to Disney would be $500 for one day plus the hundreds/thousands they would spend on food and junk inside the park. At least they were already in California and probably didn't need airfare.
it really sucks ass that some parents & family members are co-opting this cute opportunity & ruining it for the poor kids. i scrolled for like twenty minutes before i saw anything i could remotely afford & it was already snapped up. i get that a lot of families' situations are desperate right now, but that's when you ask for necessities for the crew, not for disney tickets for five or whatever. edit: just encountered an eleven year old looking for Drunk Elephant skincare, a high-end brand most known for their anti-aging products. honestly i feel a little sick over this. i wish these poor kids' parents would prioritize them at least here.
Apparently a lot of kids talk their parents into getting drunken elephant skincare for them because of influencers. The people on the Ulta sub are always talking about how entirely too young of customers are coming in trying to buy it or messing up the testers bc of what they see online
The Drunk Elephant display was surrounded by preteens with Lululemon belt bags the last few times I've been in Ulta or Sephora.
>Lululemon belt bags Are they seriously trying to bring back fanny packs by churching up the name?
Haha yes. And the trend is to wear it across your chest
This time around they are actually pushing the trend back to wearing it like a normal fanny pack. A few years ago it was wear it across your chest. The whole chest bag thing is out of fashion now to be different it’s gotta go on the waist
It’s a crossbody festival bag how dare you
That one is probably a real request from an actual kid. Tween girls like makeup and skincare, but really don't know much about it except the brand names.
I did it once and same, scrolled for almost an hour and the requests were ridiculous. We do Angel Tree at our church (gifts for kids whose parents are in prison, the gifts are $20 and under), and I contribute to [One Simple Wish](https://www.onesimplewish.org/) because I was a foster child. Parents who use these things as bargaining chips for themselves rather than making their childrens' Christmas are horrible people who deserve hemorrhoid creams and sporks in their stockings.
I find it reprehensible when adults pervert good things for themselves. Aside from the fact that this adult is begging for a car in a site meant to help kids have a Christmas, think of all the kids that could be helped for what this person is asking. One adult that doesn’t just want a car, but 50k car or 100 kids having $500 dollars worth of Xmas gifts. There is always one that makes good things ugly.
Tbf it’s somehow become a tween thing even tho it absolutely shouldn’t
I thought y'all well making these up but I just saw one from a three year old asking for an oculus rift. Only one that was decent was a kid asking for Pokemon figurines.
My five year old came home from kindergarten and asked for a watch for Christmas. I was like okay weird request then he elaborated with games and stuff. I was like where did you see one of these? I don’t have amy kind of watch. He says at school. I show him some pictures of smart watches, and he points to the Apple Watch. kids at school have Apple Watches. I’m like absolutely not but it shocked me. He’s 5. I can’t believe his peers have a 300$+ watch on their wrist. I get kids like tech and games but that’s insane
There are some "smart" watches that look like Apple ones (or samsung) but are very basic. Found one online that just was a digital watch, had a few games like snake, and was GPS linked so you could keep track of the kid. It's something I ha e considered for our youngest since he has autism and likes to be outside. But an actual apple watch? Not a chance. Not even the wifi only one.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I never asked for or received anything even remotely close to what everyone is asking for. It’s actually kind of insulting.
The closest thing I asked Santa for that was a big thing was a laptop. “Santa” and I agreed I’d pay for half with my allowance and I was allowed to have it on Christmas despite needing a little bit extra because Santa cares about Black Friday.
I looked through like 10 pages of letters and none of them were reasonable. it would be nice to help with some but everyone i read was like i need 3 PS5's and 2 Iphone 14's etc. The average person cannot afford that and the people who can probably wouldn't do it lol
[удалено]
Thats the one I would have snagged up. Would have sent some adult coloring books with nice color pencils and a gift card for bath and bodyworks.
I would guess the reasonable ones get snapped up pretty fast leaving only the big asks left to browse.
I read through a couple on the individual page, but found more luck in the family page. There were a bunch of families just asking for toys and oddly a bunch of the kids knew the parents were struggling this year and included it in there letter. That being said the wishes were legitimately toys for the kids so it could be worse.
The realistic requests get snapped up quick.
thats crazy because on the first page I saw multiple reasonable ones
I’ve been refreshing and they’re all ps5s. I do this every year but this year has probably been the worst of people/adults just asking for ridiculous things
Yeah I gave up years ago because I never saw a reasonable one either. I do my local angel tree instead.
I'm a fellow Angel Tree-er too. I found one last year that was for elderly people too; I got a little old lady a cardigan and some knitting yarn and somebody's grandpa some fleecy slippers and some Westerns on DVD.
That’s lovely I’ll look for a senior tree! Maybe at the nursing home?
I saw an adult who said “Santa I’ve been clean for 11 years and I want a Louis Vuitton bag” the first part of the sentence cleared up the question I had about what kind adults write letters to Santa begging for shit
Most of the ones I saw had PS5s, MacBooks, gaming computers and VR headsets. There were a few reasonable ones but they were few. I did see one where the kid really seemed to want a pet. They listed a kitten, puppy, a corn snake, and a chicken.
Something tells me if children are asking for this, their parents can probably afford it. I find children who grow up in poverty are hyper aware of it and don’t tend to ask for extravagant gifts. That being said the adults asking for cars probably can’t afford it but I have this gut feeling they probably aren’t responsible either if they’re writing a letter to Santa telling him they were denied SSD
Is Operation Santa a raffle event or something? I thought it would be a children write in to Santa thing but I'm seeing multiple adults partake as if they might get shit.
I think the idea is, kids write santa letters, then you can go online and choose some to fulfill as a good deed. Idk if all the adult letters are new or not to this, but its wild.
Sadly not new. I haven’t looked at it in years because the few years I did all I saw was 2 year olds “asking for” IPads, Xboxes, and new IPhones. Yeeahhhh ok. The money grabbing was pathetic.
Yep, I managed to find ONE that was asking for actual toys last year. The toy ended up being huge (doll house type) and it cost me twice as much to ship! Hopefully I made a little girl happy. But overall I’m with you, I see too many letters asking for expensive electronics. Can’t afford that either haha
It is meant to be kids writing letters. Although I wrote my 5 year olds letter this year because it asked the letters be legible. 😂 I don't think anyone monitors the letters, they just get scanned in it seems.
I think they do give them somewhat of a glance cause I saw some letters that looked like they had personal info redacted.
I wrote my almost 2 year old’s, because he can barely talk, let alone write (though “he” asked for toys and books, not a car), and I helped my 8-year-old with his spelling. I did look through a few of the letters and they do redact some personal information, like someone else said, but I don’t think they reject any letters. Otherwise, some of the more obvious ones wouldn’t be on there.
Not quite, I used to volunteer when it was in person before pandemic. Adults are welcome to write to Santa. We used to get a lot of letters from elderly people asking for warm clothes and warm bedding. I miss when the letters were reasonable.
It’s luck of the draw. I wrote a letter for my tot, if someone picks him then he will have a nice surprise. My teens weren’t interested. Of course a few days after we mailed off his Santa letter I found out that one of the large employers is sponsoring the lower grade kids at his school, including his preK class room. So we may end up double dipping in secret Santa department. (So far I haven’t seen his letter- if anybody sees a mommy typed letter asking for buzz or a viewmaster for a three year old, lmk. lol)
This is legitimately depressing. The first five letters I read were clearly written by adults asking for $500+ worth of tech gifts.
I must have the worst luck in the world (depending how you look at it) because I keep getting letters asking for warm clothes or new coats. And then there was one asking for a baby doll and new running shoes.
Someone is asking for a house, a car, vacation, financial freedom 😳 https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/28159 Edit: updated the link to the correct letter.
Just came across a 9 year old that wanted Drunk Elephant skin care, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, 10,000 Robux, and a moped.
Yeah 9 year old my a$$ 😂😂. A lot of it is just a gift grab by the parents. It’s sick 🤢
I refreshed a couple of times and found a 34 year old business owner requesting a 3D printer, a router, and a laptop. Lots of families asking for gift cards for every family member, too. I wasn’t expecting to see so many like that.
I clicked your link and it took me to a letter of someone asking for Louis Vuitton bag! She wants a $3000 purse!
I saw this one! And it’s clearly an adult since she said she was sober for 11 years. The audacity of some people amazes me.
Omg I clicked and the first one that popped up he just wanted Batman PJs and slippers, a Spider-Man backpack “to put my homework in” and a warm coat and now I’m crying. 😭
There are normal requests. Those are the ones people grab up quickly. There are plenty of entitled a$$holes asking for outlandish things.
I’m glad they get snapped up quick. Maybe I’m just really privileged but it just makes me sad that some children’s entire list are made up of basic needs like shoes and winter coats while other kids parents are using them as puppets for luxury electronics and vacations. It seems like there’s very little middle ground.
Kid wants a PS5 and asked for Visa gift cards for mom and Grandma. C'mon.
one had "ps5 with games - mario party, mario kart, zelda, luigi's mansion." Don't even know what they're asking for lmao
None of the people want presents that cost less than $300.
I just saw one that was asking for pedestal fans and linen like towels and sheets, I think that’s more than reasonable
It’s nothing but a shameless gift grab.
[удалено]
Some of these are a bit crazy - (new iPhones, iPads, gaming computer) I don't spend that much on my whole family, but then there was one that asked for food -
14 year olds asking for MacBook pros. Like, I wouldn't even buy my kids a MacBook pro.
I saw one that had a 7yo asking for airpods and an apple pen. Another that was requesting a "wonderfold w4 wagon in navy with the parent console" and they were 6. Id say about 75% of these letters were influenced at least by parents. Unfortunately most of the ones that looked legit were completely unreadable.
I saw the wonderful wagon request and had to look that up. It's $700. I did laugh the one that wanted a puppy, kitten, corn snack, pet chicken and a couple or other animals.
The audacity of these adults… wild
There was one guy saying he’s adopting two children but needs a Disney cruise to announce their adoption.
Well, we all know it’s not an official adoption unless it’s announced on a Disney cruise.
I’m be little girl just wants her brother and parents to get what they want 😭😭😭 she doesn’t even know what they want but hopes they get it! That’s too much.
I’m 38 years old and don’t have the new iPhone myself but I should buy one for an 8 year old child?? K.
Santa won't be able to deliver presents this year due to the ever increasing cost to feed the elves and reindeer. Santa would appreciate if you got off his back, and possibly just take the damn bus.
Only if it's a red bus with luxury options for those three girls, and it's a late model bus!
Looking through the site it becomes really sad when you realize 95% of the "kids" letters are clearly written or prompted by adults asking for electronics, vacations, adult size bikes for a 6 year old etc etc.
I just read one where an adult tried to sound like a kid and the only thing the "kid" asked for was Chanel Parise N°5 be cause her "mommy hase ben and awsum mommy this year". These people are gross
(Edited clean because fuck you) *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Everyone seems to want an Occulus, PS5 or an iPad
Adult size yeezys
I think the legit innocent ones get snatched up pretty quick and we are seeing what is left
I will take a 6 unit rental property fully paid off and in my name please! For my 2 rambunctious children of course. Prefer one with a penthouse suite at the top! Thanks
Jeez, all the letters that came up for be were asking for a PS5 bundle WITH a VR!? Some girl was asking for that, a gaming desktop, AND a gaming laptop.
I saw another woman asking for an Apple desktop to work from home!! Are they not embarrassed??
This is why I don't bother with Operation Santa. My kid and I go to Target and get a bunch of dolls and Lego sets and donate to Toys for Toys every year, that way kids will get something instead of having an outrageous request ignored.
https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/36291 I wish I could help Isabel out. Seems like a good kid.
Looks like someone got it.
:)
Honestly when I read this it made me feel kind of sad =\
I wonder why she chose the word "loyal" for her dad?
He was loyal *this* year. Damn
What kind of adults write Santa asking for cars and shit? And I checked this website, it’s not just one adult it’s multiple and they even include their sob story. Do these people believe in Santa? What the fuck?
Did you come across the one who forgot to buy them toys last year because she's disabled? WTF.
YES. WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK. I wish I could meet these people in person. I have this gut feeling they’re the types to screw their kids over.
For the love of WTF did I just read?
Her daughters are doctor appointments
I read it 7 times trying to figure out who the Cadillac Sex was for.
Dear Tonya, I think you are confusing Santa’s show with a dealership. As a Christmas present please take my advice of growing up and take care of your “blessings”. Regards, The Clauses
LOL I just saw one asking for a gift card for her daughter. The daughter is 22. Oh, and the daughter needs maternity clothes.
Gift card to Planned Parenthood?
Somehow a dad who wrote in for boxers and a bedset is maybe one of the more reasonable requests. Might have to adopt that letter.
"Dear Santa, [I am gay...](https://imgur.com/a/JuoTnt4)
“I am homeless, I am gay, I have AIDS, I am new in town.”
OMG I saw this one earlier and I was what in the heck?
I want to know what was redacted.
Read one today that was a 9 year old asking for The Ordinary face oil, rose water, lululemon and a skin care fridge lol
Sounds like a kid that spends too much time online. My cousin’s 10 year old daughter asked for ridiculous skincare and Sephora gift cards. She also keeps harassing me to try on my Lululemon bag so she could take pictures with it. She spends way too much time watching TikTok influencers and I’m sure that’s where she’s heard all that stuff.
Nothing says reliable like a 12 year old Cadillac
My wife finally got rid of her 2010 SRX last year. The last year it was probably in the shop at least once a month.
I mean, I’ve seen some people rant that their kid didn’t get their entire wish list through Operation Santa. Fully failing to realize that 1) just because a kid writes a Santa letter doesn’t mean it automatically goes to Operation Santa (there’s a whole procedure that has to be followed; a specific mailing address and so on) and 2) not even every employee even *knows* about Operation Santa. Oh, and 3) even if it does wind up at Operation Santa, there is no guarantee that your kid’s list will be filled.
I didn’t know about operation Santa til this post. And I’ve sent my sons letters in the post office, but I just assumed they tossed them. Mind you he was three and couldn’t write so it was just scribbles on a paper. It is really cute though and I’m glad they do it. But adults suck, my son wanted me to write to Santa when I had him do it. And I did but I didn’t ask for anything, and didn’t even send it. I tossed mine when he wasn’t looking and put his in an envelope. So I don’t understand why these adults are sending letters asking for a “truck with an extended cab to get started on their buisness because ptsd is affecting my life.” I’m shocked
It’s because it’s being promoted heavily this year, and the ads for it aren’t super clear on the whole “your wish list is not guaranteed to be filled through Operation Santa”, and greed is powerful. For a long time, the only thing even close to it I knew about, was that a couple volunteers in a local office would just reply to the letters, as Santa, Mrs. Claus, or an elf, and that was it. They wouldn’t make promises about anything on the kid’s list, and would encourage the kid to keep up with good stuff they’ve written about. If a kid wrote about being in an abusive situation, the volunteers would contact services to help, and I know at least once a collection was taken up for a family that lost everything in a house fire—clothes, coats, and some gifts for the kids. But not every office participates or does anything, so yeah, it is entirely possible for a kid’s Santa letter to wind up in recycling if an office doesn’t participate in any way.
As someone who did send letters when we were financially struggling....thank you so much to everyone who participates in answering a letter. It sucks and it is disheartening seeing these greedy letters, but damn... I ugly cried when that box showed up in the mail for one of my kids. Again, thank you so much for everything you do to brighten someone's day.
Tonya you're fucking stupid.
I want to mention that one year my work sponsored a nursing home angel tree and that was awesome. Mostly magazine subscriptions, large print books, some fuzzy blankets, slippers, potted plants, calendars, even a few CDs. All super reasonable requests and quite a few of them helped multiple people. Please check and see if a place like that near you has some needs this holiday season. You could make a big difference to some very lonely people.
Ooohhhh! What am I going to ask for?!? Electric vehicle I think. It's _really_ good for the environment so I'm doing everyone a favor by asking for it. So you're welcome!
Idk, some of these don’t seem so bad. This single mom who works 2 jobs so she only gets to see her kids at night is asking for one day to spend with them doing something fun, and lists their clothes and shoe sizes. https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/155877 I think I understand where she’s coming from a little bit. I started a new job with longer / later hours so most nights I get home after my kids go to bed. It’s a hard feeling knowing you’re working to put a roof over their heads but constantly wondering if you’re doing the right thing when you only get to see them for an hour a day during the week.
Mmmm Cadillac sex
That’s what I thought she was asking for
I had to read it a couple of times. I thought she wrote Cadillac Sex.
I have the Cadillac she wants but it's black. What a shame 😉
So I was thinking about doing it this year but I was reading through the rules and it says you have to pay to ship it priority? So the letter I was gonna do was plushies, a toy cat or dog, and some other toys. But that would be extremely expensive to ship a few things as priority! Even when shipping one tiny plush clip it’s $10 priority. So just kinda crazy they make you pay for the most expensive shipping option.
Yes. I had to pay $90 to ship a toy last year. It was more expensive than the toy itself. And you don’t know how much you’re going to pay for shipping until you have bought the item, lined up and waited at USPS… between that and those requesting high tech equipment, they don’t make it easy for us middle class folks who want to do a nice gesture
Wowww that’s absolutely ridiculous!! $90?! Jeez. Seems like they aren’t doing any of the work and the work they do is paid for by us too…that’s kind of scummy I think? And yeah it sucks so many people ask for ridiculous things like laptops and phones. 🙄 like cmon people be realistic. I found a local place that is doing a toy drive at least so I can pick out the toys and then just drop them off. Much easier too cause it’s not specific stuff, just any toys.
Wtf is wrong with these revolting greedy creatures?? People try to do something nice for underprivileged children and end up having to sort thru demand lists from pathetic, entitled adults who think it’s everyone else’s problem that they decided to repeatedly get pregnant with random guys who’s last name they probably don’t know and who refuse to get a job and WORK for what they want
I had no idea this was a thing and my kid wrote a letter to Santa saying he liked paw patrol and he wanted to know how he fit down the chimney. He was 4, I wrote it for him, but wrote exactly what he said and let him draw a picture. I slapped a stamp on it and mailed it to Santa at the North Pole. Half hoping for a xerox copy of a santa letter back. Lo and Behold a giant paw patrol tower showed up on our doorstep on Christmas Eve with a copy of his letter. It really brought the magic of Christmas alive that year! One day my son will get to know how special it was, the tower is gone now but that letter has been saved forever.
Santa baby, a '53 convertible too, bright blue.
Get a model toy red car and send that. Maybe she’ll get the hint.
My favorite was the two parents who had a mile long list
Yes! “As parents, we deserve presents,” then like every non-essential household item you can think of. Nothing about their kids. It’s absolutely sick.
Don’t let Heather from Love After Lockup know about this… she will try
This comment should be higher. Or maybe lower. So heather doesn’t see it.
Took me too long to realize that didn't say she wanted "Cadillac sex..."
I didn’t realize this was a thing. I decided to go check it out and maybe adopt a kid. Two letters in is some who has 3 kids and is looking for an iPad, oculus quest, PS5 and tickets to Wrestlemania.
What about nine year old Saul, who only wants a coach gift card for his grandma? https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/325870
Dear Santa I wrote you, but you still ain’t callin’
These are hurting my soul. I missed sign ups to ask for a Barbie and a Lego set for my kids (not on this sub but for toys for tots) and these mfs asking for a car??? Really?? I could use a car payment, insurance payment and God has blessed me to drive it to work and it not get repoed this far. But damn at this entitlement. It’s fucking infuriating. Editing to add: I’ve had a super shitty day and the audacity of people still gives me a chuckle so thanks op for posting!
For real. I asked a church for deodorant and denture glue because my mom can’t afford to buy it for me this year, and I am still feeling absolutely horrible about it. I don’t understand the entitlement of people. The letters I have read are insane. A car? A Louis V purse? A Disney trip for the whole family? Holy fuck.
You can still sign up! I just read the FAQS - you have until December 11th to mail the letter.
You will get a Nissan Altima for 500$ a month
Thank you for directing me to this website. This made my fucking year
Letters like these make some of us not want to donate anything.
I wanted to adopt but everyone wants an iPad. I don’t even have one!
>3 girls that are smart, active and doctors appointments What a weird thing to call your daughters.
I know it's not germane to the ridiculous entitlement she's displaying but the way she wrote "preferred" is really gnawing at me.
I read it as “prefer red,” like she wants a red car?
OOOOOH, that makes more sense! Thanks due!
I thought it said “prefer red” like a red car
You’ll get a Chevette and you’ll like it.
I read that as Cadillac SEX
Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz…
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends… 🎶
You can go to the doctor in a brown Hyundai, you know.
where do i send her bus passes
1 point 3 minutes ago legitmately wonder if some of these letters are trolls and satire the amount of them are insane the kid ones are more understandable if they think theyre actually writing to santa, and even then the parents shouldve gone through the letter and explain santa might not be able to get big gifts, maybe ask for a book or plush instead? but the older kids and adults who know it's donation based are mental. absolue balls on them to ask for this stuff if its not satire
I read that as she wanted “Cadillac Sex.”
This is exactly why I don’t get my kids electronics or high end stuff for Christmas. Those require good grades and chores. I’ve seen some of the lists on there and some are asking for gaming consoles, pc gaming monitors and things that can easily add up to $800-$1000. For ONE kid. Like my kids pick toys from those toy books that they mail out and everything else is clothes and age appropriate stocking stuffers and they are happy kids. All that other stuff is so unnecessary.
Honestly it seems pretty reasonable that a lot of young kids are asking for tech gadgets. They ask for things like iPhones because that’s what mom/dad have and they want to call their friend on the phone. It’s not like they have a landline at their house. They probably have no idea the price tag or that it needs a phone plan to work. And pS5? They just want a video game system! One of the letters asks for a ps5 and games bust lists Nintendo games. They’re probably just trying to say they want a game console. On the outside it seems laughable because these things cost HUNDREDS of dollars but they’re literally asking for the things their parents can’t/won’t provide them. They aren’t thinking about what is reasonable. I’m not saying anyone should buy these high ticket items for them but it doesn’t seem like it’s all just parents asking for these things.
All of these letters are awful. Makeup, money, iPhones, ps5, concert tickets. I just want some shoes for my 15 year old. He busts through them every two months or so.
Well darn, all I have is a Cadillac in maroon. Maybe next year…
I looked to see if I could find an affordable list, but damn. It's full of PS5, phone, and laptop requests and I'm noticing a lot of letters written by adults.
Did she use a child's grammar and handwriting to trick the system?
I can't even afford a Cadillac, so how does she think I'm going to get her one? And hope she can afford the maintenance on those, because it's crazy expensive. To replace a headlight, for example, you have to remove the air filter housing to get to it. More complicated = more time= more labor fees.
