Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy this year—kind, polite, and hardworking at school.

For the holiday, I would love to receive a Labubu and a smartwatch.

I look forward to your visit!

I also dream of getting a LEGO Star Wars train, a VAKUKU, and, most importantly, good health for my parents.

A tablet on Android where I can install drawing apps, or a tablet for professional drawing, so I can learn and get better at making beautiful pictures.

My name is Kseniia, I am 11 years old, and I am from the town of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region. Currently, I live in Zaporizhzhia, and I miss my hometown and my relatives very much.

But I have a small dream. I really want to receive sneakers from the brand NEW Balance 530 White Silver (women’s, size 38).

I also dream of a stylish children’s sports suit, oversized, in gray color, size __. I would be very grateful if you could make my dream come true.

And my most cherished dream is an iPad with a stylus. It feels almost unattainable, but I truly believe and hope that Santa can make it come true.

Dear Santa!

My name is Kateryna, I am 13 years old. I used to live in Orikhiv, and I have the warmest memories connected with this town. Now I am temporarily living in Zaporizhzhia. It is very unsettled here: often you can hear air raid sirens and explosions, it is loud and frightening all around. I dream that peaceful times will come for us.

I have a few wishes. I really want grey Adidas Campus Light Grey sneakers (size 40), and also a dark grey NIKE hoodie with a logo (size M). This would be a true miracle and a great joy for me. Thank you for the kindness you bring to children, and I believe that you will hear my request.

With love,

Kateryna

Dear Santa,

My greatest wish is for the war in Ukraine to end. I really love playing football, so as a gift I would very much like to receive shin guards, a ball, and goalkeeper gloves.

Dear Santa!

My name is Adelina, and I was born in the small town of Orikhiv. Three years ago, my mom, dad, and I moved to Zaporizhzhia because our town was destroyed. I study well and try to behave.

I want to ask you for victory for Ukraine. And for myself, I would like to ask for a new phone. I also wish a little bit of wonder and happiness for both children and adults.

Dear Santa!

Could you bring me 4 tickets to the circus and also some candies? Could you also make the war end?

Dear Santa!

My name is Illia. I am 6 and a half years old. I live in the city of Zaporizhzhia. This year I started school and I am in class 1-B. Sometimes I don’t behave very politely, and I want to apologize for that.

I really dream of receiving a gift from you. I very much need a tablet for my studies.

Santa, I also dream of victory for Ukraine and PEACE.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, good health, and success.

Illia Semenchenko

Good day, Santa!

My name is Yehor. I lived in the city of Zaporizhzhia, but unfortunately, when the war began, my parents and I had to leave the city for our safety. I was forced to leave my friends and my school behind. Now I am a 7th-grade student, studying remotely.

There is so much I could tell you—about the shelling, about the sleepless nights accompanied by the terrifying sounds of drones, explosions, and airplanes. It was all so frightening! Even living in the suburbs didn’t protect us from this horror.

The scariest thing for me was losing my father. For my mom and me, he was our protector, and with him, we felt safe. Sadly, he is no longer with us. My father was an engineer who helped our Armed Forces of Ukraine. I miss him very much, but now I must be the man of the house. I have to stay strong and support my mother.

This year has been very difficult, not only for me but for all the children and families who have suffered losses—loved ones, homes. I really hope for a miracle. I dream of a life without explosions and without that frightening buzzing sound.

Santa, please gift me headphones so I can study without being constantly distracted by outside noises. With headphones that I can connect to my laptop, I’ll be able to concentrate on my studies.

I also pray for peace in Ukraine. I would be very grateful for your gifts.

P.S. The specific headphones I want are AKG 361.

Hello, Santa!

My name is Denys, I am 13 years old. I am from Ukraine, but now I am displaced because the war came to our home. Currently, I live with my parents in another city where we rent a small apartment.

I study online and try to do well. I also take part in school competitions. My favorite subjects are mathematics and computer science. I also enjoy watching adventure movies. I used to practice boxing, but now, due to my health, that is no longer possible.

I have a few good friends. Together we ride scooters and just go for walks whenever we have the chance. Riding my scooter is my favorite way to relax!

My biggest dream is for us to have our own home again and for victory and peace to come to Ukraine as soon as possible.

As a gift, I would love to receive wireless headphones and a nice, warm, soft blue hoodie to keep me cozy on cold days.

I am very grateful for the joy you bring to children like me. It is very important and warms the heart.

With respect,

Denys, 13 years old, Ukraine

Hello, Santa! My name is Diana, I am 8 years old. I used to live in the town of Tokmak. Because of the war, we had to leave our hometown when the Russian military came, and it became very frightening. I would be grateful if you could give me big headphones as a gift, because mine broke. I will be waiting for you. From Diana Kushch.

My name is Masha Yevseieva, I am 8 years old. I am from the town of Tokmak in Zaporizhzhia region, but now we live in Zaporizhzhia. I have a big family: my dad, mom, me, and my two younger brothers. I dream of returning to my hometown and seeing and hugging my great-grandmother Nadia, who was not able to leave with us. I love drawing and making beadwork pictures. I would like a big art set, a walking backpack, and bright sneakers (size 36).

Dear Santa! My name is Yeva, I am 9 years old. In April 2022, my family and I left our hometown of Tokmak, because since February it has been under occupation. We moved to Zaporizhzhia. Living for a month under occupation was very frightening, because my father has been a soldier since 2014. My mother, my older sister Zhenya, and I were forced to hide at other people’s homes from Russian soldiers. Later, we took some things and left the city. There I had to leave behind my favorite toy — a robot dog — which I miss very much. I hope to receive it again as a gift for the holiday! Thank you and hugs!

Hello! My name is Daryna, I am 10 years old. I was born in the picturesque and sunny village of Nove. It was very beautiful there — it had the largest cornelian cherry orchard in all of Europe. At home, I loved running with friends and playing with my cat Venya. My childhood was happy. But the war destroyed everything. One day we woke up to explosions. Foreign soldiers came into the village, and my parents, little sister, and I had to flee. The worst part is that my beloved cat Venya was left behind at home. I miss him so much. I often wonder if he is cold, if he has enough food, if he misses me. I dream of returning home, seeing our orchard, running again along the paths, and hugging my cat. I believe the war will end. Ukraine will definitely win. And then we will all return to our homes, and I will take Venya in my arms and never let him go again.

My name is Kateryna. I was born in a picturesque corner of the Zaporizhzhia region — in the village of Nove, Tokmak district. It was here that I took my first steps, first heard the song of a lark, and smelled the fragrance of spring cherry blossoms. Always by my side was my younger sister Daryna — my joy and inspiration. Together we played, laughed, and believed that our future would be bright. But on March 2, 2022, our childhood was cut short. War came to our village: instead of bedtime stories — conversations about losses; instead of laughter — the sound of explosions. Our home burned down, our beloved things disappeared, and the road into the unknown became our only choice. Despite everything, I do not allow the light within me to fade. I believe: the day will come when our village will bloom again, when Daryna will once more run around the yard and paint the sun over a peaceful Ukraine. Children’s dreams are what keep the future alive. And I know: they will surely come true.
