€2 per letter

For children who spend Christmas in hospital

We are grandparents of a child with leukaemia ourselves. On the children's cancer ward at Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital in Munich, our granddaughter was cared for with so much love throughout her long illness.

That is why, for every letter we post, we give €2 (or $2 in the US) to the parents' association that supports families on that ward. Our story

Questions and answers

Does my child's information go to an AI?

No names, no address. Your child's name, where you live and every real name are added only when the letter is printed. The AI only sees descriptions such as “has a cat and a best friend”. Once the letter is posted, we delete your answers.

Can I read the letter before I pay?

Yes. You tell us about your child, we write the letter, and you read it in the preview. Only when you love it do you go to the checkout. The preview is free.

Is the letter written by AI?

Our workshop writes every letter with the help of AI, using only what you tell us. You read every word before you pay, and you can change your answers until the letter feels just right. The illustrations on this site were also created with AI.

What does the envelope look like?

The letter arrives in a white window envelope. The window shows the sender, “Santa's Workshop, North Pole”, with your child's name and address below. There is no wax seal and no North Pole postmark: letters to Ireland are posted from our workshop in Germany, letters to the United States are posted within the US. You also get a PDF copy by email.

When should I order?

For Christmas: Ireland by Tuesday 8 December at 22:59 Irish time, the United States by Friday 11 December at 11:59pm Eastern Time. Order before the deadline and if the letter arrives after Christmas Eve, you get your money back in full. The 24 Elf Notes arrive by email straight away, so you can order them until 24 December.

Which countries do you post to?

English letters go to Ireland and the United States. Families in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein can order our German letters.
