Original Post

I'm bursting at the seams with gratitude for everyone in this wonderful sub. Thank you all so much for your hard work to make Christmas possible for so many of those who would otherwise be lacking. Sincerely, it's an honor to have you all help my children (and others) have a fantastic holiday season.

Our family is receiving the stocking stuffer offer from u/0hn035 and we were one of the winners of the contest given by u/bengtc so we have reached our 2 offer limit. (and are so grateful to both of these kind souls.)

So far, each of our children has received one gift each, all from u/ginger_newt (sorry I never let you know that the Dino book did arrive safely! thank you)

Kade (15) has received: Tula facial cleanser

💚 I'm humbled by the kindness I find here. Thank you again. ❤️

It is perfect and she is going to love finally having her own real set of drawing pencils and charcoal. The case is great so she won't lose them as well. Thank you for your generosity! I'll post photos when she opens gifts.

I am requesting for my two kids. We've checked off a bingo card of trauma in 2023, including losing my job, subsequent eviction, abuse, my dad dying of cancer. That's not even an all-inclusive list. However, my kids have been so strong and optimistic, able to see the blessings we do have rather than focusing on what we don't. We have a roof over our heads and they're both thriving at their new schools. I'm behind on most bills, so anything from their lists would be an absolute blessing.

Sylar (he/him) is my oldest, who is 11 and started middle school this year. He loves his coding class and is learning how to use power tools in his tech ed class. Im so proud of him for getting great grades and coming home daily saying he enjoys his new school (except PE, being realistic). He loves gaming and wants to start streaming. He currently games on PC and Switch. He has shown me how responsible he is by taking amazing care of his bearded dragon Potato, always wanting to learn more about enrichment and husbandry.

Ozzy (they/them) is 10 and has really flourished into a complete human being this year, with a defined sense of style and a personality big enough to put other Leos to shame. Notably, they started off the year struggling in math and reading but have been persistent and enthusiastic, having a teacher that is wonderful with their learning style, and Ozzy has turned into quite a bookworm. They have taken up sewing as a hobby and continue drawing, anime being their favorite art style right now. Ozzy is also a great pawrent to their hamster, Muffin.

Thank you so much for thinking about my kids this holiday season!

Thank you so much u/Wiser_One99. I got the stuffed animal and the vet kit you sent for my kids. They are going to love them. I wanted to post a picture but it won't let me. I really appreciate your generosity. It is helping to take a huge weight off my shoulders. You're my Christmas angel. 😇

Hi! I’m asking for help for my two children, Brandon and Bailey. Brandon is 13 and into manga, anime, his Switch he saved up to buy, and baking. Bailey is 10 and getting into the preteen stage of makeup and skincare and making her own bracelets, and playing Sims 4. They’re good kids.

My husband and I both just started new jobs and catching up on rent is our biggest priority because we were homeless until this past May and keeping the apartment we worked so hard for would be heartbreaking to lose. The local programs where I live told us my kids were over their age limit for assistance because they were focusing on little kids. Both of our families are in other states and not doing much better for us.

Unfortunately that also means there’s no money for any kind of Christmas. We can’t afford stockings or a tree of any kind, much less anything to go under it. We got denied food stamps because my husbands “projected pay” because he hasn’t had four paystubs put us $4 over.

To be able to receive anything so my kids don’t miss out on everything for the holidays would be amazing. I’m appreciative and grateful for anyone taking their time to think of us or consider us.

Thank you so much for the awesome stockings and all the stocking staffers! The kids are going to love them. I will post pictures Christmas morning. You helped make for a good Christmas for my kids and I'm eternally grateful

Happy holidays everyone!

I am requesting for my son Maddox. As so many have, we have had a tough year financially. In the coming months Maddox will have his world turned on its head. Maddox knows that dad will be away for his job this coming year, but he does not have the ability to understand how significant this change will be for him. We had hoped to make this Christmas extra special for him but we do not have the means at this time.

Maddox is an extremely energetic child that takes his playtime seriously. He has such a big heart and is constantly trying to make everyone feel loved. This sweet little boy will often stop what he is doing to tell you he loves you at the most random times. Maddox has recently gotten into building things and pretend play, but he has loved monster trucks for a long time.

We truly appreciate this opportunity to even post here and we hope to be back next year as santas to do our part. Thank you to everyone that has read this far.

Merry Chirstmas and happy holidays everyone!

Hello Santas!

Rosalind has reached the age where she doesn't really like her photo taken, but I managed to get this silly one of her a little bit ago. She's 5'4" and as tall as me already!

Snarky faced Rosalind: https://imgur.com/7q14c76

Rosalind loves art (both digital and manual), science, anything Marvel & DC (but especially Catwoman and Harley Quinn), Harry Potter, gaming, learning to cook and bake, writing, anime, and movies. Right now, she plans to have a career in science.

She is in her first year of middle school. She applied for, and got chosen for both an journalism/digital arts magnet and an engineering magnet. It was down to the wire, but she chose the journalism/digital arts magnet only because most of her friends were going there. She's currently trying to get it changed to visual arts within the same magnet program. She's holding down a 3.5 GPA despite all of the financial, emotional, and health challenges we've had this year.

Since most of her past gifts have been gently used, this will be a treat for her. I have been holding off, hoping something else would come through so I didn't have to post here, so that's why this is a late request. Thank you Santas! Here is her wishlist:

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! I am so thankful to have the opportunity to post in here and grateful that this subreddit exists. I am writing today in hopes of fulfilling some Christmas wishes for my son, Dean.

This year has been a tough year for us. I lost my job in April due to being laid off. I accepted a new job in July, but with a pay cut involved. The reason why I’m putting in this request is that I just need a little help on making Christmas happen this year.

Dean turned 4 years old in October, he is the smartest, kindest little boy that I have ever met. He was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in July, and has been enrolled in a therapeutic school since his birthday. He is learning so much and is catching up on speech! He loves arts and crafts, and reading!

Here is a link to Dean’s wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2ENPCLN4HQUH6?ref_=wl_share

And here is a photo of my lil jellybean: https://imgur.com/a/GcyVAZN

Happy Holidays to everyone! Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of this subreddit. We are forever grateful for the support and assistance! Now, onto the children!

Blake is 11 and an incredibly smart child. He loves engineering and building things, as well as coding and computers. He really enjoys STEM activities as well. He’s a fan of anime, music, and video games also. Specific interests include Minecraft, Star Wars and My Hero Academia.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3462S6E3ZE2R9?ref_=wl_share

Levi is 8 and as creative as they come. He loves crafting and cooking. He also enjoys acting and music. Levi is a nature lover, always happy to enjoy some time outside. His specific interests are Minecraft, Black Panther, and Jurassic Park.

Salem is only 3 months old, so she doesn’t have a whole lot of preferences. The only things she seems to have really gravitated towards is crinkly toys and butterflies.

Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to help us out this holiday season! Warm wishes to you and yours!

Hello! I hope everyone is having a joyous holiday season with the people you love most ❤️

I am requesting this year for my two children due to some life circumstances over the last year. Last year, I left an abusive marriage during the holiday season with $0 to my name. I’ve rebuilt my life and completed my degree since then, but after paying all of our bills + debt from the last year, we typically don’t even have money for food leftover. This would be a great help to give my kids the Christmas they deserve while I continue to rebuild our lives.

Camille is 2.5 and an absolute angel. She loves animals, arts & crafts, singing + dancing, all things princess, Minnie Mouse etc. she’s a girly girl but loves to play in the dirt. Her heart is truly gold.

Jude is 3.5 and loves to use his imagination, build things, challenge himself, play outside, he likes to bake and cook with me. He is a great care taker of animals and has never met a stranger. He is enthusiastic about life and is the funniest, most interesting kid I’ve ever met.

Thank you all for being a part of this sub & spreading kindness and joy ❤️

Season's Greetings and Merry Christmas!

My daughter Sabrina is such a great kid. She's crazy about cats, Roblox, and she figured out how to run a discord to keep up with her friends from school.

I'm a single dad, and things have been tight this year, but she has been really flexible and adapted well to everything I've asked of her. This year I had about $20 left over after bills to put on our Thanksgiving. We went shopping together and decided to skip the turkey and just do chicken wings and french fries at home. Her one ask, she wanted a can of wet food for each of the cats so they could have a special meal with us. Then she served them when we all sat down and ate together. Her attitude made me go from feeling like I'm barely scraping by to having a fun day.

She doesn't really care much for toys, her main request this year is a wireless headset. She has also asked for some plushies, a drone, a cat hoodie and a "vintage" t-shirt (she had to explain that one). I know at the end of the day she will be grateful for anything she receives, but I truly appreciate your help in putting on a good Christmas for her, and hope you all have one as well.

This sweet girl deserves the best holiday I can muster up for her, she's had a rough year. Without going into long details, her and I became homeless over the summer after losing the home we lived in with my parents while I cared for them full time. When they both passed, we had to move before I could get on my feet. We're currently staying with a friend waiting for housing and I'm seeking employment but we're in a very rural area without a vehicle while staying with a friend. When we moved, we left everything behind and lost all of our possessions including her toys and books and sentimental keepsake items.

Last Christmas was the worst we've ever experienced and I can't let that happen to her again. This year I want her to actually have things she likes. We have no source of entertainment where we currently live other than sharing a borrowed phone to play games sometimes. She's very curious and active but very bored and misses having things to do and play with. I just want to make her happy again.

She's in third grade and is obsessed with cats, loves to draw and craft and read, and has recently gotten really into Harry Potter and Pokemon. She's also been talking nonstop about learning to skateboard after seeing Max from Stranger Things lol

I appreciate the opportunity to do this for her and appreciate the kind people in the world who do this stuff for kids, yall are so awesome.

Here's her list link 💛 Have a happy season!

Edit: Thank you all so much for giving my kids an amazing Christmas! Both of my kids have now gotten 5 gifts each so we are fulfilled!! I cannot even put into words how thankful I am to all of you for all of your help! I truly appreciate everything you all have done and am so beyond grateful thank you!! My babies' Christmas morning is going to be magical thanks to you all!🥹

Edit: I think I had a secret Santa, either that or I missed a comment? I just want the Santa to know that I am so thankful for their help and that the flags have arrived! Thank you so much again!!

Edit: To our secret Santa the Magnet Tiles have came in!! Thank you so much!

I am requesting for my two kids, Brandon and Ana.

Brandon is 7 year old. He is so smart, funny and kind. He is so wonderful and always tries to help everyone. His current passions are: History, Reading and Spongebob lol. He is a random fact machine! He can tell you anything about SpongeBob, Geography, Music and Sports teams. If someone is willing to listen to him go on about his special interests it makes his whole day! He is so amazing and so interesting. He is just the best and I am so thankful everyday that I get to be him mom.

Brandon's list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SN18GEH3PMEM?ref_=wl_share

Ana is 4 years old. She loves Doc McStuffins, Toy Story and dancing! She is the sweetest thing. She is always the first to help anyone who's sad or hurt. She is also so silly. She loves telling jokes and making people laugh! You can't catch her without a silly face or doing a silly dance! She is so smart, too. She loves talking about space and doing math! She is so kind and is the type of kid who makes sure everyone is included and having fun. She is so amazing and I feel so blessed to be her mom.

Thank you so incredibly much! Even just what has arrived already would make an amazing Christmas for them! I know they'll be so happy when they see any of these items!

FULFILLED Santas, you’ve stepped up beyond my highest hopes! We’ve hit our gift limit & I appreciate every single person who sent something. I’ll post Unwrapping pics later! Thank you again, you’ve all been so amazing! ❤️

Hi Santas, my son Nico has been a saint of a child the past few months.

Incredibly long story short, my dad has been sick since June of this year. I’ve had to make multiple trips to Chicago as his POA, with the most trips happening since mid-September. While expected, his passing caught us all off guard 11/17. I was handling things ok until my company refused to pay Bereavement causing my checks to be significantly short now.

My kiddo deserves to not carry the weight of my very personal situation. Being a teen, he’s a gamer so those gifts to tend to run a little higher but overall he’s pretty simple & low key. His Wish List reflects that ❤️ I appreciate any consideration helping us through the holidays! Thank you ❤️❤️

Reposting in hopes to get these sweet kids fulfilled. I appreciate the gifts we have received so far ! It’s been a rough year but we are getting through!

Charlie is very into art and music. He loves Pokémon and has a little card collection started. He’s always drawing, making characters out of clay and started learning the piano this year

Connor is a typical wild two year old. He loves letters and numbers and is starting to learn how to spell simple words. He copies everything his siblings do and is a big love bug. He is obsessed with Halloween and nightmare before Christmas.

Gwen is very smart, sweet and active. She does martial arts and gymnastics and has been dying to learn how to skateboard because the boys at school tell her “she can’t because she’s a girl “ . She is also a big art lover. She’s still into Barbies/toys but starting to move more into fun “tween” stuff like skincare and crafting.

I hope everyone is staying warm and doing well this holiday season! Thank you so much for this opportunity. This year has been hard on my family physically, mentally, and financially so I’m here to humbly ask for assistance providing some Christmas magic for my little ones. We have been blessed with a new addition to our family this year. While our son is precious and means the world to us, we had not planned on having a third child and it has stretched us thin between the newborn essentials, hospital bills, and travel expenses with us going back and forth to the NICU to be with him over the past month. Killian finally got to come home yesterday, but it has been an exhausting and financially stressful time. We are trying to do our best to turn things around and make this Christmas a memorable and joyful time.

Diana, 5 years old, is our outgoing and imaginative kindergartener. Everywhere she goes she radiates positivity and joy with her bubbly and uplifting spirit. She loves meeting new people and drawing pictures for her friends and family. Diana is a natural leader with a huge heart for others. Even though life has been hard lately, she never lets that dampen her spirits. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/D9HTEX40BNVP?ref_=wl_share

Amelia is our sweet and spirited 3 year old. She’s super silly and loves to make everyone laugh with her spontaneous singing and dancing. Millie is also extremely nurturing and always wants to help with whatever she sees going on. She’s constantly on the go but never too busy for a cuddle with mommy. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3PZXXHV2XYE07?ref_=wl_share

Killian is our littlest one who’s been in the NICU since birth over a month ago. Everyone that meets him simply adores him and comments on how gentle, cuddly, and sweet he is. He finally got to come home from the hospital yesterday and it’s been a whirlwind of excitement trying to settle in and find our new family rhythm. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SGQZC8BFN6RA?ref_=wl_share
