Why a naughty list letter is the best Christmas prank

Everyone knows the naughty list. Almost nobody has seen their name on an official one. That is the whole joke: a real-looking North Pole notice that lists the exact crimes they committed this year, from the empty ice tray to the 47 unread texts.

Each letter gives them a mission to earn their way back to the nice list, like doing the dishes every night until Christmas Eve. Add the certificate and they get a sealed award they can only open once the mission is done.

Dear Jordan,

  • Returned the milk carton to the fridge with one sip left. Eleven times.

  • The elves have requested a transfer to a tidier home.
YOUR MISSION: Empty the dishwasher without being asked, five days in a row.

Who gets a naughty list letter?

Husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends are the classic pick, but roommates, siblings, grown-up kids and coworkers all make great targets. Keep it to silly habits everyone already laughs about. The goal is a groan, a laugh and a hug, not a real argument.

You choose who signs it. Leave it from you, or put "Santa" or "The Elves" in the From box for maximum official energy.

Last-minute? Print it at home

Mailed letters ship in 5 to 7 business days, or 2 to 3 with express. For delivery before Christmas, order a mailed letter by December 14, or by December 18 with express.

After that, choose print at home for $4.99 and you can print it within minutes. Or pick both for $11.99: print a copy tonight to hand over at the party, and let the official one arrive in the mail as the encore.

Questions

Is this a letter from Santa for kids?

No. These letters are written for adults and teens, as a prank about everyday habits like dishes, blankets and the TV remote. They are not meant to be read as a real letter from Santa by young children.

Can Santa sign the letter?

Yes. Put "Santa" in the From box and the letter is signed by him. You can also sign it yourself or as a prank buddy.

How do they get back on the nice list?

Every letter includes a mission, like taking out the trash three days in a row. You can write your own or let us pick one that fits. Add the certificate and they unlock an award when the mission is done.

Can I print it and mail it?

Yes. Choose "Mail it and print it now" for $11.99. You print a copy at home right away and we mail the official copy in a sealed envelope.

Turn it into a laugh

Two minutes to write. A lifetime of "remember when you got that letter?"
