Synopsis

"If I’m on the Naughty List, then so is every kid with a little brother!"
- Omar, 11, Montego Bay, Jamaica

More than 1,000 hilarious and heartwarming messages from kids (and grown-ups) around the world prove that Christmas mischief has no age limit.

For almost 30 years, millions of messages have poured into emailSanta.com. In this all-new Volume II collection, Santa's Head Elf has gathered over 1,000 of the funniest, most mischievous and wonderfully "Nice-Adjacent" letters into one treasury.

Some confessed. Some negotiated. Some apologized. Some had remarkably creative explanations. And quite a few suggested the elves might want to take a closer look at their brother, sister, parents, spouse, pets or even Santa himself.

And this time, it's not just the kids...

From toddlers to teenagers, parents to grandparents, writers from more than 50 countries make their cases to Santa. Because as it turns out, we don't necessarily become less naughty as we grow older: we just get more interesting at explaining why it wasn't our fault!

MEET THE ACCUSED:

The Dealmakers: "Dear Mr. Claus, I left you 3 cookies. If you bring the iPad, you can have another one. You get more cookies and I get an iPad."
- Hunter, 9, Austin, Texas, United States

The Legal Defense Team: "I never lie. I just tell the version that makes me look less suspishus"
- Iben, 12, Aarhus, Denmark

The Teenagers: "Help my stepmom be nicer. She thinks those Disney ones are role models."
- Sarah, 13, Sydney, Australia

The Grown-Ups: "My kids think I'm an angel, but I've been hiding the good chocolate in an empty bag of frozen kale for three years. Pure evil, I know."
- Raquel, 47, Ibiza, Spain
