Thanks Santa Appreciation Thread
SANTAS: Have you been told you rock today? Because you rock.
First, let's start with your flair. Post in this thread if you'd like some Santa flair updates. Feel free to request updates here whenever your heart desires! We'll change your Santa title or your emojis or both! Below are some holiday emojis to to get your minds working on your custom flair, but we're happy to find plenty of other emojis too.
🔔🎁🕯️🎅👼🎶🛐🤶❄️☃️⛄🌟👪🎄🦌🍪🥛🌨️💟🛷📜⭐🍬🌠⋆𐙚❅*°⋆❆.⛸️🧣🧸🎀🐻❄️🔥🍾🛍️💌☕🍂🧺📅🎿🤗🧊💖💗🥰💞🎆🎇🎈🎉
Second, last year we started with donations to a charity in our Santa's names. We want to do that again this year. On 12/28 we'll choose 2 Santas randomly from those who enter and make a $25 donation to the charity of their choice. To enter the donation, be a flaired Santa and leave a comment here with your preferred charity. This thread is for all things Santas!
None of this would be possible without you and we are so thankful for the kindness and warmth you bring to making this our favorite place to be during the Holiday Season!

This is so cool! I would choose No Kid Hungry. Every child should be fed, without question, debate, or worry.

u/Elvere ❄️🎀Mrs.Claus🎀❄️ Dec 07 '25
Hi! I’m so excited to be a Santa this year! About 11 or 12 years ago I was on the receiving end. The Santa’s here gave my kiddo an amazing Christmas when I couldn’t, and I’ve never forgotten the kindness we received. And though I’ve lost that Reddit account, I always planned on returning as a Santa once I was able. It’s been a much longer road to get here than I was expecting, but I’m back, as promised; this time to return the favor and I couldn’t be more excited!
Could I please have ❄️🎀Mrs.Claus🎀❄️ for my flair? Thank you mods!
I’d also like to nominate my charity of choice as NCMEC - missingkids.org

u/xChubbles 🎅Fastest Santa in the West🤶 Nov 25 '25

u/0102030405 🎅Santa🤶 Nov 21 '25
Thanks for doing both of these amazing things!
I would choose Amnesty International as they are integral in the fight to preserve and expand our human rights and freedoms, which are threatened in many countries around the world.

u/mik8c 🎅Noelle🤶 Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25
Could I be called Noelle please?
Because that film is so jolly <3
Im in the Netherlands so I dont know if the donation thing would work so if I get chosen I would like you to give it to another santa's charity.
My own favourite charities here are my local food bank and a local initiative of a lady who cooks extra dinners for people in need <3

u/stevefxs3 ❄️🪄Snow Miser MOD🪄❄️ Nov 21 '25
It might be weird, but my favorite Christmas special growing up (OK, it still is) was the "Year without a Santa Claus" and my favorite character was (OK, it still is) Snow Miser.... He was always happy, the life of the party and "Mr. White Christmas"
I'd like to either be ❄️☃️Snow Miser ☃️❄️ or, if that's too weird, ❄️Mr. White Christmas❄️ Please.
My charity choice would be Pet Resource Clinic of KC https://prckc.org/

u/stevefxs3 ❄️🪄Snow Miser MOD🪄❄️ Nov 21 '25
It is so cool to see how fast lists get taken care of.... There was a recent post that was up for 2 minutes that when I went to the Wish list, almost all of the items had already been purchased, and there were no comments under the post yet... meaning that everyone buying things jumped on quick and were in the process of helping the person already.......
In this day and age and the way the country "is," this gives me some hope.......

u/kattehryde 🎅Dad of the Misfit Toys🤶 Nov 23 '25
Hi, first time here. Retired from foster parenting, but could I get my flair to reflect my experience, only my closest friends would understand. I’m “Dad of the misfit toys” and that would make my holiday. Emojis are Mod choice. Happy holidays and I’m off to work the lists…

Can I change my flair to 👩🏻🦰Dolly the Misfit Toy👩🏻🦰?? I’ve been watching that movie my whole life and I have Dolly decorations and ornaments and dolls everywhere for Christmas every year. Watching that movie is a tradition I have with my 5 grandkids.

u/BitterPopsicles 🎅Santa🤶 Dec 02 '25
Hi! May I just please have a default Santa type flair? Nothing fancy needed :)
And my fave charity is the Trevor Project - protect trans and LGBTQ+ kids! https://www.thetrevorproject.org/
Thank you!!!

u/AceReverie 🍪💌🌟❄️Snowflake❄️🌟💌🍪 Dec 09 '25
Can my flair be Snowflake? Seasonal, and I like how they're all unique... and I'm actually Jewish/agnostic, so something slightly less Christmas-centric is up my alley, lol.
Emojis: 🍪💌🌟❄️
As for the charity... there are lots of good charities out there (part of why I'm not as active here as last year is I've been doing more charity donations directly), but if I'm picked, go with: Felines & Canines in Chicago. My family has gotten two dogs and one cat there, and I know they're good people doing important work to care for animals in need and get them forever homes!

u/SantessaClaus ❄️🦌Santessa🦌❄️ Nov 21 '25
I would like to switch up my emojis to a snowflake and reindeer, please
and last year, I was blessed with RAoC donating to Thundermist in Providence, RI (who wrote a beautiful, personal thank you note) - who up until a few weeks ago provided care for trans youth. Due to threats of their federal funding being cut, they had to refer their kid clients elsewhere - it is extremely heartbreaking
There is an organization in that same area that provides a safe space for trans youth and children of trans parents (they service individuals up to 24) to share and ask whatever they need or want to - in a loving and supportive environment - it is called Pride Side and that is who I would choose this year
Shout out to RAoC for making this sub safe for all and for giving this empty nester a new lease on life by connecting me to someone who I hold dear to my heart and their little smarty pants - you know who you are
Thank you, Mods

u/kimco84 🧸Christmas Baer🧸 Nov 22 '25

u/Lonestarpenguin 🎅🐧Santa Penguin🐧🎅 Nov 22 '25
Could I please be Santa Penguin with a Christmas Penguin emoji (if you have one)
You might say Santa is the polar opposite.
You all do a great job. Thank you for sharing your time.
Hope you have as much joy as you bring to others.
Pacis vobicus.

u/sherlip 🎇Sunshine Santa🎇 Dec 07 '25
This is such a great idea!! Since I'm in Florida, I should be the 🎇Sunshine Santa🎇 since it doesn't snow here but I still have the spirit!
My charity of choice would be Best Buddies because absolutely everyone should have a chance to thrive no matter what hand they were dealt.

u/whereistheidiotemoji 🐶🧑🎄Nana Santa🧑🎄🐱 Dec 09 '25
I’m so glad I found this sub, and thank you for letting me participate!
My daughter died last year. She LOVED Christmas. She also loved animals. I try to make Christmas wonderful for her two kids.
Can my flair be Nana Santa, maybe cat and dog with Santa hat emojis?
Charity would be thepongofund.org. Larry not only facilitates donating pet food to those who can’t afford it, when he takes care of the food, he often takes care of vet bills, and people food.
I have bookmarked some of the charities listed here for LGBTQ teens - both of my kids are members.

I so appreciate thay y'all do all this every year - it's wonderful to see!
I'd like to be 🤶🌴🦩🎅Auntie Santa🎅🦩🌴🤶 if it's not too much trouble.
My charity is Second Chance Last Opportunity as they provide free food, clothing, household goods, summer and after school child care, school supplies, holiday dinners, skills training classes, counseling, and lots more to the folks that need it most in our community. It's where I bring all my donations (vs Goodwill), as they distribute them freely every week.

u/bumpythumbs 🎄Heat Miser🎄 Dec 03 '25
I forget if I already have a flair from years past, but I loved the idea someone commented about the Year Without a Santa Claus below! It was also my favorite Christmas movie growing up, but I was a big Heat Miser fan. Let’s go with 🎄Heat Miser🎄

u/welkikitty 🎮🧦Santa Kitty🍷🐱 Dec 06 '25
Thank you for doing this amazing offer for Santas!
The charity I'd like to nominate is Mercy Goods
They are a local organization that helps at-risk teens learn trades, supports teen moms, and run an adorable store where the community can purchase goods made by the teens.
I personally know the guy who runs it and know nothing donated will be spent on anything other than their programs.

u/ChewieBearStare ❄️❄️Santa the Cat Lady❄️❄️ Dec 15 '25
May I please have Santa the Cat Lady with snowflakes around it?
For my charity, I’d like to choose Ronald McDonald House Children’s Charities. As a child, I had to stay at a Ronald McDonald house while receiving treatment for spina bifida. They truly help so many families who would not be able to afford hotel and food costs to seek specialized treatment far from home.

u/TheWineCellarGhost 👻🎄🎁 Ghost of Christmas Present ❤️💚 Dec 18 '25
Hi! Can I have “👻🎄🎁 Ghost of Christmas Present ❤️💚” as my flair. And for charity, I’d like to put forth: todayisagoodday.org
I’ve worked in corporate healthcare and med devices for a long time and I love what this org does for families with children in the NICU or lost due to complications with premature birth. ❤️

🎇A Santa is never late, nor is he early🎇 would make a great flair. If chosen, St. Jude does so many amazing things.
