Scottsdale, AZ — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Scottsdale families. They’re a lens into the magic of the holiday season through the eyes of a child.

We’ve partnered with T-Mobile so we can all share in their joy. This letter, submitted by Greg Stewart in Scottsdale, was written by 9-year-old Gregory:

“Hi Santa. I’ve been a real good boy this year, so here’s what I’d like: a Hopalong Cassidy Cowboy Hat, a Gene Autry lunch pail, a real live pony and especially a Roy Rogers cap gun with plastic bullets and a holster. Oh, and Red Ryder BB Gun. This would mean so much to me. I’m leaving you some milk and Mom's chocolate cookies. Thanks a lot. Gregory"

Please note: Your (child’s) letter may be shared with your community to help spread holiday cheer. All fulfillment requests need to be routed separately to the North Pole and/or Santa himself. In other words, these letters are just for fun: Santa won’t be checking the lists on Patch.
