Personalized letter from Santa

Santa writes to your child by name: what the elves noticed this year, what's on their list, and when the Christmas Eve Moon rises over their own town. With a Nice List certificate and a chart of that night's real sky.

Christmas Eve 2026, over New York City: A Moon just past full rising in the northeast at 5:14 PM. This month's full Moon is a supermoon. Santa's letter tells your child where to look.

The real Moon over their house

Santa's letter is make-believe; the sky in it isn't. The letter tells your child when the Moon rises over their own town on Christmas Eve and which way to look, and the third page is that night's real sky at bedtime: the stars, the constellations, the planets in sight and the Moon at its true phase, worked out for your town by the same astronomy as the star maps. Only the dotted line of Santa's way across it is made up.

In 2026 the December full Moon falls on Christmas Eve, so most towns get a full or nearly full Moon rising at dusk. Far north, where it never sets in December, Santa says so.

Questions

What do I get?

Two PDFs, Letter and A4, of three pages each: the letter from Santa, the Nice List certificate and the Christmas Eve sky. Print them as often as you like for your family.

How soon can I print it?

A few minutes after you pay: the files are made for your child and a link to them comes on the page and by email. There's nothing to ship, so it works on Christmas Eve itself.

Does it mention presents?

Only if you want it to: what you type as their wish, Santa repeats, and promises to "see what the workshop can do", nothing more. Leave it blank and the letter doesn't mention gifts at all.

Can I make one for each child?

Each letter is for one child, with their own name, age and notes. Make one for each, so each is theirs.

Is there a free one?

Yes: the free letter from Santa and the free Nice List certificate are ready to print, with lines to write in.

What if something's wrong?

A typo or the wrong town: remake it free, once, within 30 days, from your files' page. A file that's wrong or won't open is fixed or refunded within 60 days. A change of mind isn't refunded once the files are made (terms).
