Dear Santa Claus
Hello Dear Santa Or Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas, or Father Christmas… HUH! I'm sorry
I'm just catching my breath because I can address you by so many names! I think I prefer
calling you Mr Claus. My name is Aarush Luthra and I study in Delhi Public School, Greater
Noida which is in India. I am in 5th grade, and my section is "I". I am writing this letter
because I have a wish for Christmas like millions of other kids. Now without further delay,
let us move on to my wish. Before that, I just want to say that this year was tough for
everyone. It must have been tough for even Mrs Claus, the Elves and Rudolph because he

cannot ride his sleigh. So, my wish for Christmas is that I want you to deliver hope to
people so that they move on from their sadness. I want you to eradicate this virus. If you
can't do that, then a Time Machine would be fabulous because I can travel back in time to
meet my friends in school, when there was no virus. I am grateful that you are accepting
letters of children this Christmas and I am sure you will fulfil my wishes. I am writing this
letter on 23rd of December so hopefully, it would be delivered to you in the North Pole
well in time. Until then, love and best wishes from India and I hope to see you soon!

Thank you, Mr Claus!

Dear Father Christmas,
I hope my letter finds you in your best health and spirit. I am Mohhika, and as I'm asking
for a huge gift, I hope I'm in your list of good children.
You see, Santa, I'm not asking for toys or anything. I'm asking for the worldwide
distribution of the Moderna vaccine for Covid-19 overnight. Why the Moderna vaccine?

It's because I read that this vaccine is the most effective, that is, it has around 94.8%
efficacy. I'm asking for this because everyone's tired of the pandemic now. We can't touch
anything, we have to wear masks, sanitise our hands, and maintain social distancing. We
can't even go to school! It's been almost a year, and we haven't been to school. We read
about epidemics and pandemics in books, but we never thought such a thing would
happen to us. I would be as happy as Larry and everyone will be as euphoric as it is
possible to be. You know how much everyone wants the pandemic to end. Please, please

accept this request. Please do give my regards to Mrs Claus. I would also like you to say
'Hi' to Rudolph, your daughter, and the elves from my side.

Dear Santa Claus,
This is Aditya Vishwakarma from Class 5-I of DPS Greater Noida. Hope you are doing
good in the North Pole.
First, I would like to extend my hearty wishes to you and all your loved ones. As you know

that the whole world is fighting with deadly pandemic called COVID-19 these days and
despite the several measures adopted by our government to get rid of this situation, the
cases seem to have an unstoppable increasing trend.
As true countrymen, it becomes our moral duty to pave out the different ways to come out
of this situation. In view of the same, I humbly request you to device special and
