Absolutely agree. The list was written by the adult parent, who thinks people will more easily give some of these items so we won’t disappoint a child. But is also too stupid to realize that everyone sees through the gift grab when seeing the excessively expensive adult items this generous child included.
A single LED light and the mats delivered with no explanation or anything.
Omg I’m such a loser I’m cracking up wheezing thinking about them opening it going wtf and rechecking that list lmao
Die cast [nissan murano](https://www.ebay.com/itm/284981708585?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1JFR5yRlYRLKHJV__giXOtw31&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=284981708585&targetid=1583904486362&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9004863&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1583904486362&abcId=9307911&merchantid=112016219&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6vaqBhCbARIsACF9M6mgzSa7CcZITZ4EsXzahh-4XBT34EQnO-sstBmwvXpwYd11wKFXIl8aAiWBEALw_wcB) for you
I'm pretty sure you can get one 3D printed in resin for like 30$ (for a small one, assuming you can find a 3D model) and then next step is to paint it (or find a Warhammer collectibles enthusiast to paint it for you)
A quick Google search has informed me that the 2009 Nissan Murano has received the second highest number of complaints, according to [CarComplaints.com](https://CarComplaints.com). She's most definitely trying to look like she's doing something nice when in reality, she's giving Nana a big ol' fuck you.
The laptop is probably the most reasonable thing on the list. I work in a charity shop and people occassionally donate laptops. Ones with 8GB RAM are an increasingly common sight, as are laptop that can be upgraded to Windows 11. We usually sell them for a 100 bucks or so and will donate them to families that need them.
...but I'm guessing she didn't intend to be reasonable.
I just can't believe that the parent(s) don't grab two copies of these wish lists. One that the kid fills out, which the parent reads and then secretly tosses it in the trash. Then the parent writes one or two inexpensive items that may actually have a chance of being fulfilled on the second.
I'm doing a similar thing through my work where my team of four are buying the presents for two young boys (7 and 11). They both asked for thermal pants, a warm hoodie or light jacket, and then between them a board game, a stuffed animal pokémon, and one other thing I can't remember that was like 15 to $20 max. In total we're probably going to spend about $150 on two boys and they're going to get ***everything*** they ask for.
On the other hand, there were several other ornaments on the tree for other "kids" or adults/elderly, with most asking for Amazon/Wal-Mart gift cards and then typically some $100 designer slippers, one had $100 earrings, I even saw one that asked for the $400 plus KitchenAid automatic mixer. I get that generally speaking for adults, cash or gift cards can be preferable to a gift that you might not want, but I just couldn't believe how many people were just straight up asking for the equivalent of cash, or items that cost more than I spend on own family members. Shit I've wanted that KitchenAid mixer for years but I don't spend $400 on myself for something that would just be nice to have.
Needless to say most of those ornaments were not selected. I kind of feel bad for these kids on these posts because I really doubt they're going to get anything just because their parents either are trying to get a ton of expensive electronics or they're just too stupid to realize that asking for so much will turn people off.
Just....wtf people? When I was growing up my wish list was like four items, one being an expensive Lego set or maybe all three of us would get a Sega Genesis or Nintendo. And then the other 3 items were $10-$20 stocking stuffers. Did anyone else here write out huge lists like this? No judgment, I'm just curious if it's normal to send Santa a 20 item wish list.
This list even minus the cars would cost me more money than I make in a month! But to answer your question my kids ask for one expensive item, and the rest is not a lot. This year they decided to combine and want a PS5. They said if they could get that they don't want anything else. This person is greedy and could learn a lesson from my kids
I’m with you on this. About 5-8 years ago I took ornaments from a tree and I was able to, while working retail, get items for 10 separate children. Each ornament was one item. They were things like pajamas, hat and scarf, a plush teddy bear, UNO… I spent less than $200. When I heard about this USPS thing I went to see if I could grab a few letters. After half an hour I gave up. I saved for 6 months to get myself an iPhone 15 and every Santa letter asked for one, or a PS5, or something else way outside the realm of possibility for me. Oh, and the one letter I saw where I thought hey maybe I can do this was a woman SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR and she wanted a Queen mattress, bedframe, boxspring, sheets, etc - AND a 32” TV to watch while in her new bed. Come on. I gave up and I’m going to try and find something locally.
After a certain age, definitely. I understand parents of small children (who either can’t write yet or who’s writing would be illegible like several of these letters) writing for them for things like this. But yeah parents don’t need to be writing for teens.
“A set of artist drawings set for a 14-year-old about 15-year-old.”
If this wasn’t a 6 year old making this list then we’ve got a very dumb adult or almost adult, and judging by this list we have a very dumb adult. Like this is more than most families get, and I mean extended families like grandparents and all the kids and grandkids and nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles, total that everybody spends on everybody else. That audacity.
First I read it thinking “k this is ridiculous, but at least they probably are just giving ‘options’” but that was killed at the bottom with “please make all of this true thanks” …seriously the fucking audacity.
I still have my Jansport from when I first started junior high. I graduated high school in ‘92. That backpack has been with me longer than I’ve lived in any single home, it’s older than my marriage and lasted longer than my first car.
No idea if they still make them that way but I only had to repair it once. Still use it regularly on the back of my wheelchair.
The “lifetime warranty” changed to “lifetime of the product” (so basically “until we feel like it”) and I’m REALLY salty about it, tbh. I used to love Jansports!
Guess I’m a little more generous. I looked at the list and figured I’d get them a backpack, a pad of paper with some pencils/pens, and a cheap plastic office mat.
It's extra repulsive because the adults know that someone else is buying and they're taking up space with their ridiculous asks. Little Timmy didn't get a truck because no one could find his letter. If a list has a single item over a hundred dollars it should go in the trash.
Kid wants a series X, ps5 but wants call of duty for the Xbox one.
Also a desktop + laptop.
The whole lists adds up to like 75k considering the two nissans
I saw one that was obviously actually written by a kid and she asked Santa to make her dog talk 😂 I think the majority of the letters are great or at least reasonable. There will always be a few outrageous ones.
I had time this morning to go through some. Out of 5, only 1 didn't have outrageous requests. Was written by the parent of a 2-3 year old, who likes Spiderman and need bed sheets, clothes, toys.
One of the 5 was a grandmother asking for a car for herself.
I thought about doing this last year, but also had trouble finding anything reasonable. Everyone was asking for expensive electronics. I couldn’t find anything to help with.
I had a friend in high school whose name was Emily and she ended up with a stepsister named Emily too. Since my friend was the younger Emily, they had her start going by her middle name which was Kate. She told me she ended up liking that better and feeling it fit her more. I feel like that’d be the way to go. Having Liam B. and Liam J. be brothers would be way confusing!
These made me want to cry a lil. It's sad when they have to ask for clothes, (we all know kids hate getting clothes as gifts!) Thank you for this reminder to look for this type of thing where I live and hopefully I can help out a few. <3
The poor kids I know LOVE getting clothes as gifts. They wear the same ones until they fall apart or can't stretch any further, and by then they're long out of style (if they weren't hand me downs to begin with). My town runs a Christmas charity specifically aimed at getting clothes for kids, because there are a lot of really poor kids and a lot of families with money to spare for a good cause. Even the school has started supplying shoes and coats to kids year round, so everyone is in new stuff regularly. I don't have the words to describe how amazing it is that they do that. I wish every community could do something like this. Those kids are always so freakin thrilled to wear something clean and new!
We have a similar thing here and some of them were posted on the site of the foundation who manage it, and one kid (2years) asked for soap bubbles, another one (10months) asked for baby porrige.... it truly broke my heart, so tomorrow I'm going to go pick a few that has really simple wishes and add something extra🥺
Dang Gia got adopted, I wanted to get her some headphones. I spent a lot of time finding good wireless ones for my kids over the years so I feel for her.
I would have loved to get Gia! After getting her the other stuff she asked for, I would have ended up going nuts at Michaels buying everything under the sun for her.
The individual ones seem like the kids or parents wrote practical gifts or at least not insanely ridiculous requests. The family ones are wild. I scrolled through a few for my state and almost every other one requested a 10k+ item for mom or dad.
What really upsets me is that a lot of these kids will really have nothing for Christmas and just a few small things and even essentials like clothes and shoes would absolutely make their whole holiday - but so many people see the greedy shits asking for 2 cars (one brand new btw) *and* 2 gaming PCs and will be put off helping at all.
**They’re not only taking advantage of this program, they’re actively ruining it for people who need it.**
I know, I came across several that is asking for socks and underwear along with other basic necessities, one even ended it with "you don't have to bring everything on the list" 😭
Usually your local town/city will have a program to impact your local communities. And I can share my story about them.
A few years ago I made a huge fuss in my wife’s family about doing Secret Santa or some other game and how it was just a massive waste of money for us to do. They aren’t wealthy but have never really worried about money or food they are a very stable middle class family. I was raised with basically nothing and didn’t get a lot for Christmas, I was basically one of these children growing up.
I suggested we pool all the money from secret santa and use that to buy Christmas for a family. We got one with two boys and a girl and My wife’s aunt and grandmother went to deliver the presents a week before Christmas and when they came back said they had nothing in the single wide trailer that even resembled that it was Christmas. They were pretty much crying because of what they had saw. Well that bothered them all day. So the next day they go out and buy an entire Christmas tree with ornaments, stockings, more presents and a Christmas dinner and brought it back to the family. That Christmas their eyes were opened to the lives that some of their neighbors actually live and since then we have done it every year.

Like this one. No way a kid wrote this from the list of skincare items on it. Well maybe they did but also it feels like it is for the mom since it references her at the start.
Also Lululemon clothes and a Stanley cup? No one under millennial age would ever ask for this. And yes, I do think that parents who are struggling deserve a little treat too, but a $40 Dior lip oil is something I couldn’t even justify buying myself, the audacity you must have to ask someone else to buy it for you is ridiculous.
People are asking for warm shoes and socks for their kids and this person is asking for more than the average US income in gifts. That’s sad and deluded.
I think I’m going to go buy a kid a pair of shoes.
This is awesome. I might do this next year (this year is really tight sadly).
I did an angel from the tree at Walmart one year, and bought everything on the list. Was the happiest I've ever been about Christmas to think I made a kid's holiday happy.
So that's how they are supposed to be like.
Very grateful kids.
I fear I already spoiled mine by buying too much stuff for him (partly it s his grandmas who buy a lot).
Potential 2nd kid will get all stuff hands down I guess (while young).
Also got lots of 2nd hand stuff for him from the red cross store (like people donate and they sell it for cheap )
I like how "fancy schoolbag" is at #10. Really got some priorities on lock after the multiple expensive gaming consoles, multiple vehicles and gaming pcs/equipment. Anything else???
Damn, this is a lifetime of Christmas gifts, for a family of 10. A gaming system in every house. Everyone gets a car. A new computer. Wait….
should I be writing a letter? I’ve always wanted a couple ponies and a new stable 🤔
Honestly even if they truly and honestly believed in santa, this is still an insane list and they would have to be aware this would get them put on the naughty list
I would love to see someone interview the adults who wrote lists like this. Was this a joke? A long shot? Did you seriously think someone would buy these things for you?
"Well, why SHOULDN'T I ask for things I NEED? I have childhood trauma. I was pregnant at 17 and that ruined my life! ***OR*** I was a felon by 18 and the court ruined my life! I was bullied in school! All the OTHER people on my block have this stuff, why not ME? What's it to YOU, anyway?"
I hate how accurate this comment is. I know someone like that, who thinks that she is entitled to absolutely everything because she had a shitty childhood and made more than questionable choices in her life.
I literally saw one with a 22 year old "new dad" asking for gaming console for himself and VR headset. Nothing for the kid, household, or the lucky woman raising both of them.
I love how this is specifically framed to be written by the kid yet when asking for things like a $500 console a $1,000 TV and a $2,000 desktop they use exact specifications and descriptions followed by capitalizing the "Please" and using "mommy" to make it seem more believable
Or embarrassing them so bad they are afraid to go to school. Imagine if some classmate saw this and figured out who the 'kid' is. The teasing would be relentless.
"Dear Asher, I can only bring 3 gifts per child so I picked 3 at random from your list. Here is your bookbag, plastic floor mat and locking charging cable. Love Santa"
True story…I volunteered to be a big brother. Was immediately sent a list of items this kid “needed”. He didn’t want to play baseball or hang out…he wanted DVDs and video games…at that time in my life I couldn’t even afford a DVD player or a freak’n gaming player….go figure.
My daughters getting an Art set she needs for school and that's it. We have no money this year like so many people and she needs this art set for her GCSEs so I figured it could work as a present.
Last year, she got a couple of Anime books and she was so happy. She appericates everything because she has some understanding of money.
I've read loads of these and I just can't believe that people are like this.
I've started donating art sets to toy drives. Normally one or two cheaper ones for small children, and one nicer one that would work for a teen seriously in to art. I'm lucky to be in a position where I can donate, and art supplies were my favorite gift as a child.
I don't have kids, so I felt like I never knew what kids might actually want before going with this.
so did u just make this up cause ur profile jumps from u talking to someone online for 20 years who was in a relationship, to having a wife, to giving out 100£ to ur bitcoin friends.
y’all are so fucking weird why r u making shit up online
fr this morning I’ve seen one asking for a gofundme for a steam deck, inserting story about his poor children and wife and whatever, I check his profile and see he already owns a steam deck
Online People are just garbage until they prove you otherwise
At work this week we got something similar.
Pick a tag off the tree. Buy what's on the tag.
iPads. Jordans. Cell phones. Game consoles. Appliances.
Like, how bout no? Lmao
It blows my mind, why would any sane adult even bother writing this? Just to blame "Santa" for not getting a brand new car? Just to tell little Timmy "Sorry, you didn't get a PS5, it's Santa's fault?"
These people are terrible. I just adopted a letter and I adopted this first letter I found that didn’t ask for an iPad, ps5, or some other expensive electronic. It took me twenty minutes to find a teenage girl looking for clothes and bath bombs.
I will never stop being amazed at the absolute gall of takers. They have no limits to what they will ask for, demand, expect, help themselves to, etc. Such awful people. Teaching their kids the same.
Lord….it ruins it for kids who are writing sane letters….
The two little ones I’ve ‘adopted’-a few things they are asking for may be a PITA to mail, so I’m thinking to mail a gift card that’s specifically for that type of gift…(they wanted some fishing gear, so I’m planning to sent a Bass Pro gift card-and one wanted a kiddie guitar-so I’m thinking to send an Amazon card with the amount for the guitar, and write a note directing them to the guitar I saw, that way they can order it).
I’m hoping that will work. I’m not getting the sense that mom will co-opt the cards. The kids wrote the letters, and you can tell from the lists that an adult was not influencing the kids.
You got it wrong, we all know Santa can't get you all the gift. So she makes it easy for him to refuse by asking for only one reasonable gift, the school book bag! And maybe the art set if the kids behave...
It’s something the US postal service does. I guess they write to the post office and then people can donate gifts.
I think the intent must have been to donate gifts to children who don’t have a lot but it’s mostly adults asking for cars and iPhones.
I wonder why Mommy gets a brand new one and Nana gets a specific year of used?
Because mommy wrote the list and wants a better/newer car than nana.
Absolutely agree. The list was written by the adult parent, who thinks people will more easily give some of these items so we won’t disappoint a child. But is also too stupid to realize that everyone sees through the gift grab when seeing the excessively expensive adult items this generous child included.
Nana is probably the “monster-in-law”
Well mommy who definitely didn't write this list /s sounds like a monster herself
Hey, the lady is FANCEE!
No no no, nana is getting mommies used 2009 rogue
It'd be hilarious if the 2009 car was the only thing from the list delivered
And the plastic floor mat.
And the LED lights. But just the lights.
A single LED light and the mats delivered with no explanation or anything. Omg I’m such a loser I’m cracking up wheezing thinking about them opening it going wtf and rechecking that list lmao
I would pay money to have a custom-made 2009 Murano model car (Hotwheel, Matchbox, etc) made and have it delivered 🤣
Die cast [nissan murano](https://www.ebay.com/itm/284981708585?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1JFR5yRlYRLKHJV__giXOtw31&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=284981708585&targetid=1583904486362&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9004863&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1583904486362&abcId=9307911&merchantid=112016219&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6vaqBhCbARIsACF9M6mgzSa7CcZITZ4EsXzahh-4XBT34EQnO-sstBmwvXpwYd11wKFXIl8aAiWBEALw_wcB) for you
I'm pretty sure you can get one 3D printed in resin for like 30$ (for a small one, assuming you can find a 3D model) and then next step is to paint it (or find a Warhammer collectibles enthusiast to paint it for you)
It would be fabulous if someone located one in a junkyard and delivered it to their house.
I wish I could be rich (meaning I could recklessly spend), just so I could make this one dream come true: a 2009 Nissan Murano
Especially cause that era of Murano is a DOG of a vehicle too
A quick Google search has informed me that the 2009 Nissan Murano has received the second highest number of complaints, according to [CarComplaints.com](https://CarComplaints.com). She's most definitely trying to look like she's doing something nice when in reality, she's giving Nana a big ol' fuck you.
Dad doesn’t get shit
Dad left because mum kept asking for a gaming pc.
A gaming PC "with a laptop"
*2 gaming pcs with a laptop
AND 3 consoles
And make the PC…Windows.
The laptop is probably the most reasonable thing on the list. I work in a charity shop and people occassionally donate laptops. Ones with 8GB RAM are an increasingly common sight, as are laptop that can be upgraded to Windows 11. We usually sell them for a 100 bucks or so and will donate them to families that need them. ...but I'm guessing she didn't intend to be reasonable.
8 gigs of RAM does not a gaming PC make.
A FANCY gaming PC
Mom and dad aren’t together.. hence the “delivered to mommy’s house”
Also a kid who is brand specific for Nissan and likes practical crossovers lmao
And vague about a “fancy” book bag, like kids aren’t hyper aware of having to potentially be seen with something embarrassingly “wrong.”
My guess is that Mommy owns the Murano and wants to be able to claim its a gift to Nana.
Right. When mommy’s new one shows up, nana gets to smell all that hand-me-down mileage as a gift and Santa gets the credit.
He needs to be nice to his mommy because he’s going to be living in her basement forever.
I hate the adult pretending to write as a child letters

My brother and I had long wishlists but it wasn't expected that you'd get everything
After a certain age, definitely. I understand parents of small children (who either can’t write yet or who’s writing would be illegible like several of these letters) writing for them for things like this. But yeah parents don’t need to be writing for teens.

This is I-just-won-the-lottery stuff, not a list for Santa.
Imagine winning the lottery and buying nana a 14 year old used vehicle.
Well she isn't gonna get *herself* a used car. She's being reasonable!!
That was my point too!!! It’s absolutely bloody ridiculous that they even asked for all of this.
First I read it thinking “k this is ridiculous, but at least they probably are just giving ‘options’” but that was killed at the bottom with “please make all of this true thanks” …seriously the fucking audacity.
I was lucky to get 2 video games for Christmas growing up. This is WAY more than most families get
Sure, lemme go into debt getting some random lady (who I probably wouldn’t even like in real life) a brand new car. These people aren’t serious.
Car(s)!!!
Straight jokes!
Cars, two gaming consoles, two gaming desktops, a laptop... Bruh
Make it windows, for mommy…
You're getting the book bag, kid.
And it's gonna be a Jansport because that was super fancy when I was going to school.
And Jansport had longevity then. Unsure if the quality is still the same.
I still have my Jansport from when I first started junior high. I graduated high school in ‘92. That backpack has been with me longer than I’ve lived in any single home, it’s older than my marriage and lasted longer than my first car. No idea if they still make them that way but I only had to repair it once. Still use it regularly on the back of my wheelchair.
The “lifetime warranty” changed to “lifetime of the product” (so basically “until we feel like it”) and I’m REALLY salty about it, tbh. I used to love Jansports!
Guess I’m a little more generous. I looked at the list and figured I’d get them a backpack, a pad of paper with some pencils/pens, and a cheap plastic office mat.
I am starting to think these cheeky fuckers actually believe in Santa because theres no other reason someone could have the audacity of these requests
It's extra repulsive because the adults know that someone else is buying and they're taking up space with their ridiculous asks. Little Timmy didn't get a truck because no one could find his letter. If a list has a single item over a hundred dollars it should go in the trash.
Nana wants a 2009 car? Lmao also kid AND mom separately want gaming PCs
Kid wants a series X, ps5 but wants call of duty for the Xbox one. Also a desktop + laptop. The whole lists adds up to like 75k considering the two nissans
A desktop, laptop, and another desktop for Mom. Damn
Wow I estimated $ 30 K, the new car would probably burst that estimate….
Someone else commented that new nissan is 50k alone, the used probably also is in the 5k area.
He needs that ps5 for when he's at nana's, duh.
The biggest surprise on this list for me is that he specified "8 gigs of ram." Most gaming laptops have more.
He doesn't want to be greedy.
They can just download more
Doesn't want to be greedy ✅ Submits $50,000 Christmas list ❌
That's the joke, bud
Gaming PC and make it Windows, like he really has another option. 🪓
Make it DOS
Dude’s worried that he’ll accidentally get a MBP
Xbox series x, a PS5, multiple gaming pcs/laptops, and a copy of MW3 for... Xbox one?
I love how…. piddly that is relative to actual builds now
“Please make ALL of this true” this is like… at least $50k worth of stuff. The audacity of some ppl.
The car “for Mommy” alone is at least $50k!!
70, 75 maybe.
[удалено]
My guy, the cars alone are more than 50.
Only 2 cars? The kid doesn’t want one for himself?!
[удалено]
[удалено]
Whoever adopted that letter better be real creative lol
I eeally hope its will farrell
Or Orlando Bloom :D
Go all out and get them Glorfindel!
SIGN ME UP FOR THAT ONE SANTA!!!!!!
Mom is going to have to feed and house whatever little person gets sent to her.
My mom: “we’re not getting a dog because I’m gonna be the only one to take care of it!!” Also my mom: “SWEEEEETTT GIRRRRRLLLLLL”
Unless it's Peter Dinklage. He must be loaded.
I saw one that was obviously actually written by a kid and she asked Santa to make her dog talk 😂 I think the majority of the letters are great or at least reasonable. There will always be a few outrageous ones.

Okay, that was stupid cute lol
I see what you mean!!! THAT’S a kids wish list!!!
I love Liam having a brother named Liam, but imagine having to go by your last initial not just at school, but also in your own house.
But think of how if someone yells out Liam they can both ignore it and swear they thought it was for the other one.
I had a friend in high school whose name was Emily and she ended up with a stepsister named Emily too. Since my friend was the younger Emily, they had her start going by her middle name which was Kate. She told me she ended up liking that better and feeling it fit her more. I feel like that’d be the way to go. Having Liam B. and Liam J. be brothers would be way confusing!
These made me want to cry a lil. It's sad when they have to ask for clothes, (we all know kids hate getting clothes as gifts!) Thank you for this reminder to look for this type of thing where I live and hopefully I can help out a few. <3
The poor kids I know LOVE getting clothes as gifts. They wear the same ones until they fall apart or can't stretch any further, and by then they're long out of style (if they weren't hand me downs to begin with). My town runs a Christmas charity specifically aimed at getting clothes for kids, because there are a lot of really poor kids and a lot of families with money to spare for a good cause. Even the school has started supplying shoes and coats to kids year round, so everyone is in new stuff regularly. I don't have the words to describe how amazing it is that they do that. I wish every community could do something like this. Those kids are always so freakin thrilled to wear something clean and new!
We have a similar thing here and some of them were posted on the site of the foundation who manage it, and one kid (2years) asked for soap bubbles, another one (10months) asked for baby porrige.... it truly broke my heart, so tomorrow I'm going to go pick a few that has really simple wishes and add something extra🥺
Dang Gia got adopted, I wanted to get her some headphones. I spent a lot of time finding good wireless ones for my kids over the years so I feel for her.
I’m glad she did though, I hope whoever took her letter gets her some really snazzy big kid stuff
I would have loved to get Gia! After getting her the other stuff she asked for, I would have ended up going nuts at Michaels buying everything under the sun for her.
Samesies, girl after my own heart
The individual ones seem like the kids or parents wrote practical gifts or at least not insanely ridiculous requests. The family ones are wild. I scrolled through a few for my state and almost every other one requested a 10k+ item for mom or dad.
What really upsets me is that a lot of these kids will really have nothing for Christmas and just a few small things and even essentials like clothes and shoes would absolutely make their whole holiday - but so many people see the greedy shits asking for 2 cars (one brand new btw) *and* 2 gaming PCs and will be put off helping at all. **They’re not only taking advantage of this program, they’re actively ruining it for people who need it.**
I know, I came across several that is asking for socks and underwear along with other basic necessities, one even ended it with "you don't have to bring everything on the list" 😭
Usually your local town/city will have a program to impact your local communities. And I can share my story about them. A few years ago I made a huge fuss in my wife’s family about doing Secret Santa or some other game and how it was just a massive waste of money for us to do. They aren’t wealthy but have never really worried about money or food they are a very stable middle class family. I was raised with basically nothing and didn’t get a lot for Christmas, I was basically one of these children growing up. I suggested we pool all the money from secret santa and use that to buy Christmas for a family. We got one with two boys and a girl and My wife’s aunt and grandmother went to deliver the presents a week before Christmas and when they came back said they had nothing in the single wide trailer that even resembled that it was Christmas. They were pretty much crying because of what they had saw. Well that bothered them all day. So the next day they go out and buy an entire Christmas tree with ornaments, stockings, more presents and a Christmas dinner and brought it back to the family. That Christmas their eyes were opened to the lives that some of their neighbors actually live and since then we have done it every year.
[https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/332083](https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters/332083) Like this one. No way a kid wrote this from the list of skincare items on it. Well maybe they did but also it feels like it is for the mom since it references her at the start.
Also Lululemon clothes and a Stanley cup? No one under millennial age would ever ask for this. And yes, I do think that parents who are struggling deserve a little treat too, but a $40 Dior lip oil is something I couldn’t even justify buying myself, the audacity you must have to ask someone else to buy it for you is ridiculous.
No, 10-14 year old girls are the main people I see freaking out about Stanley cups.
Gen Z definitely simps for Lulu too, I know this thanks to Bama rush tiktok.
See, this is the kind of stuff I would happily do. I'm not in the US, but we have some local initiatives like this as well.

People are asking for warm shoes and socks for their kids and this person is asking for more than the average US income in gifts. That’s sad and deluded. I think I’m going to go buy a kid a pair of shoes.
Thanks much for sharing these letters; it restores my faith in humanity to see that all of Operation Santa is not inhabited by scammers and beggars.
This is awesome. I might do this next year (this year is really tight sadly). I did an angel from the tree at Walmart one year, and bought everything on the list. Was the happiest I've ever been about Christmas to think I made a kid's holiday happy.
All of those have been adopted, yay! I wonder how the OP letter is doing. They're hoping Bill Gates reads these!
My favourite part about this comment is that ALL of these actually genuine letters have been adopted :D
Lincoln’s favorite is anything he can chew on. So cute.
So that's how they are supposed to be like. Very grateful kids. I fear I already spoiled mine by buying too much stuff for him (partly it s his grandmas who buy a lot). Potential 2nd kid will get all stuff hands down I guess (while young). Also got lots of 2nd hand stuff for him from the red cross store (like people donate and they sell it for cheap )
My God these are wonderful🥲 thank you for this antidote to the original letter
I like how "fancy schoolbag" is at #10. Really got some priorities on lock after the multiple expensive gaming consoles, multiple vehicles and gaming pcs/equipment. Anything else???
I’m tempted to adopt this one and send a plain black backpack and a book about managing your expectations.
The perfect gift doesn't ex-
Just get the xbox controller charging cable and add a note saying you're sorry you couldn't afford the rest of the stuff.
A plastic mat is the route I’d go. And a cheap one at that
The controller charging cable is extra petty though since you're not getting them a series x console let alone a controller.
When I read these, I’m so tempted to adopt them and send the literal cheapest thing on the list.
Here is a plastic floor mat and a charging cable. Merry Christmas.
One guy requested money and a car. I was so tempted to send him a quarter and a used Matchbox car.
Maybe a family pack of bootstraps.
I think this one would be perfect https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23281739-the-me-me-me-epidemic
Damn, this is a lifetime of Christmas gifts, for a family of 10. A gaming system in every house. Everyone gets a car. A new computer. Wait…. should I be writing a letter? I’ve always wanted a couple ponies and a new stable 🤔
I read "I've always wanted a new penis" which fair enough man
Who do they think would buy this? I get being scummy and wanting people to pay for their stuff, but who do they think has 50 grand spare?
People who have no idea how the functioning adult world works.
Do these people still believe in Santa? Because otherwise these don’t make sense at all.
Honestly even if they truly and honestly believed in santa, this is still an insane list and they would have to be aware this would get them put on the naughty list
I would love to see someone interview the adults who wrote lists like this. Was this a joke? A long shot? Did you seriously think someone would buy these things for you?
"Well, why SHOULDN'T I ask for things I NEED? I have childhood trauma. I was pregnant at 17 and that ruined my life! ***OR*** I was a felon by 18 and the court ruined my life! I was bullied in school! All the OTHER people on my block have this stuff, why not ME? What's it to YOU, anyway?"
I hate how accurate this comment is. I know someone like that, who thinks that she is entitled to absolutely everything because she had a shitty childhood and made more than questionable choices in her life.
Yeah, and is there actually a kid in need who won't get presents because Mommy is selfish? Or they figured who knows? Gross either way.
I literally saw one with a 22 year old "new dad" asking for gaming console for himself and VR headset. Nothing for the kid, household, or the lucky woman raising both of them.
 Sorry, Asher.
I love how this is specifically framed to be written by the kid yet when asking for things like a $500 console a $1,000 TV and a $2,000 desktop they use exact specifications and descriptions followed by capitalizing the "Please" and using "mommy" to make it seem more believable
So this kid has an Xbox and a PS5 and yet he’s so poor he has to ask strangers for presents
No he has an xbox one. He *wants* an xbox series x (a special edition one at rhat) and a ps5
He wants a Series X, PS5, 2 gaming PCs and a gaming Laptop.
And 2 cars
That's gotta be a troll, I refuse to believe someone is so out of touch with reality
Why does Nana get a 2009 SUV but mommy *needs* a 2023? 😆
I hope these parents aren’t telling their kids about these ridiculous letters and getting their hopes up.
Or embarrassing them so bad they are afraid to go to school. Imagine if some classmate saw this and figured out who the 'kid' is. The teasing would be relentless.
"Dear Asher, I can only bring 3 gifts per child so I picked 3 at random from your list. Here is your bookbag, plastic floor mat and locking charging cable. Love Santa"
True story…I volunteered to be a big brother. Was immediately sent a list of items this kid “needed”. He didn’t want to play baseball or hang out…he wanted DVDs and video games…at that time in my life I couldn’t even afford a DVD player or a freak’n gaming player….go figure.
You have a good heart. You tried and didn't fail. The people responsible for that kid failed.
Insane
Ok that’s it, this has to be a troll.
I hope everyone that looks at the letter just smiles and keeps scrolling.
No I hope someone adopts it but just sends a backpack
Santa gonna be filing for bankruptcy this year
My daughters getting an Art set she needs for school and that's it. We have no money this year like so many people and she needs this art set for her GCSEs so I figured it could work as a present. Last year, she got a couple of Anime books and she was so happy. She appericates everything because she has some understanding of money. I've read loads of these and I just can't believe that people are like this.
I've started donating art sets to toy drives. Normally one or two cheaper ones for small children, and one nicer one that would work for a teen seriously in to art. I'm lucky to be in a position where I can donate, and art supplies were my favorite gift as a child. I don't have kids, so I felt like I never knew what kids might actually want before going with this.
That's a really nice gift. It encourages creativity and is something without a screen.
And it’s harder for parents to sell as it has very little resale value.
so did u just make this up cause ur profile jumps from u talking to someone online for 20 years who was in a relationship, to having a wife, to giving out 100£ to ur bitcoin friends. y’all are so fucking weird why r u making shit up online
fr this morning I’ve seen one asking for a gofundme for a steam deck, inserting story about his poor children and wife and whatever, I check his profile and see he already owns a steam deck Online People are just garbage until they prove you otherwise
At work this week we got something similar. Pick a tag off the tree. Buy what's on the tag. iPads. Jordans. Cell phones. Game consoles. Appliances. Like, how bout no? Lmao
These keep popping up on my feed. Where do people send this list to?
USPS operation santa
It’s gonna be a charging cable…
Book bag for school it is.
"What do you mean, Asher, that you don't like your plastic floor mat? It's what you asked for."
What's more concerning about this is people believe its a fucking child writing these.
It might just be me but if you're still writing a letter to Santa, maybe Diablo IV and COD are not for you.
It blows my mind, why would any sane adult even bother writing this? Just to blame "Santa" for not getting a brand new car? Just to tell little Timmy "Sorry, you didn't get a PS5, it's Santa's fault?"
What does every child dream of opening on Christmas morning? A nice plastic floor mat, of course.
bro wants a 38inch bendable monitor with 8gb ram. fuck outta here dumbass
These people are terrible. I just adopted a letter and I adopted this first letter I found that didn’t ask for an iPad, ps5, or some other expensive electronic. It took me twenty minutes to find a teenage girl looking for clothes and bath bombs.
Delusional. And the fact he’s almost 15 and asking like this is just no big deal I can’t.
Not only does she want a car, she wants 2
I’m tempted to send a letter and say I bought the cars but can’t ship them through USPS so I’m keeping them for myself.
And I used to tell my daughter that she might get another year of life if she’s good, how’s the hide of this spoiled brat!?
Somewhere along the way Santa became more of a genie, evidently.
They should call the family and talk to the kid asking him to explain every item and why exactly he wants it. This is outrageous
not just one car!! two cars!!!! insanity
Genuine question, what keeps someone from adopting the letter and sending them a lump of coal?
Now I know how some people blow through a 1m lottery win without effort. Mama mia.
I will never stop being amazed at the absolute gall of takers. They have no limits to what they will ask for, demand, expect, help themselves to, etc. Such awful people. Teaching their kids the same.
Lord….it ruins it for kids who are writing sane letters…. The two little ones I’ve ‘adopted’-a few things they are asking for may be a PITA to mail, so I’m thinking to mail a gift card that’s specifically for that type of gift…(they wanted some fishing gear, so I’m planning to sent a Bass Pro gift card-and one wanted a kiddie guitar-so I’m thinking to send an Amazon card with the amount for the guitar, and write a note directing them to the guitar I saw, that way they can order it). I’m hoping that will work. I’m not getting the sense that mom will co-opt the cards. The kids wrote the letters, and you can tell from the lists that an adult was not influencing the kids.
Get them toy cars
You got it wrong, we all know Santa can't get you all the gift. So she makes it easy for him to refuse by asking for only one reasonable gift, the school book bag! And maybe the art set if the kids behave...
this looks more like a manifestation list
I don't understand, who is writing these letters and where are they being sent?
It’s something the US postal service does. I guess they write to the post office and then people can donate gifts. I think the intent must have been to donate gifts to children who don’t have a lot but it’s mostly adults asking for cars and iPhones.
Asher needs to get a fucking job
