The format

What does For Christmas I Want a Dragon mean?

Also called Santa Be Realistic · What Color Do You Want Your Dragon

Santa rejects a request for a dragon, then hears a wish that is apparently even less realistic. Fill the third panel with the ordinary thing that feels impossible to get.

The final panel reverses Santa’s first decision: a dragon suddenly seems manageable beside the replacement request. The joke works when that second wish sounds reasonable to the reader.

This version keeps the first, second, and fourth panels’ dialogue. Only the blank speech bubble above the child in the lower-left panel needs a new caption.

Origin

A Tumblr exchange becomes a Dami Lee comic.

Illustrated Text Posts published Dami Lee’s four-panel drawing on December 10, 2015, crediting a text post by Tumblr user mama-het. The comic turns the exchange into a visit to Santa. [1]

The original second wish was for a boyfriend. Later edits replaced that request with other things treated as less likely than receiving a dragon, while keeping Santa’s change of mind. [2]

Caption guide

Ask for something that should be easier than a dragon.

Write one short wish in the empty lower-left speech bubble. A working device, a quiet weekend, or a group that can agree on dinner gives Santa a recognizable problem.

Read the four panels in order before saving. Your caption needs to answer Be realistic and make the final offer of a dragon feel like a retreat.

Your second wish
Inside the blank speech bubble in the lower-left panel.
  • Begin the replacement request with I want.
  • Keep the wish inside the third panel’s white bubble.
  • Leave Santa’s final question and the child’s expression visible.
