Dear Santa,
I don’t believe that you’ll visit me to give me toys. Our house doesn’t have a chimney nor can our roof tolerate the weight of your reindeers. I also can’t write you. We don’t have socks without any hole to put my letter in there.
Actually, a lot of us are homeless now and might be living in tents where blankets are more important than toys.
Can you cross the closed or under siege borders?!
Can your reindeers really fly?! F-16s and Sukhois are the only things that are flying in our sky!
I’m sorry, Santa. Real Saints are those who fight evil so we (children) live in peace.
Regards,
Syrian child.

I so hope that we all find peace in the upcoming year(s), and open our hearts and give charity to those in need. Everyone deserves the chance to prosper. It is sad when so many barriers make that difficult.
Thank you, Cindy. Life wasn’t and won’t be easy (or perfect). We can only pray and wish for the best… Amin!
I wish no child had to deal with war. Ever.
So do I
Thank you, Kathleen. We all wish the same too. Amin.
I wish every child in earth should live in happy and peace.
Thank you, Subbashini, and Amin.
So sad, but so true.
Thank you, Bali. Yes, we pray that next years be peaceful for children all over the world.
A sad but important message!
Thank you, Franci. Yes, hope those involved can listen…
