Peoria Child, 10, Asks Santa For 'A Hover Board & Some Toys'

Peoria, IL — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Peoria 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 De’Ari Hayes in Peoria, was written by 10-year-old De’ari:

“Dear Santa I would like to have a hover board and some toys my birthday is the day before Christmas and some shoes ,I wear a size 8w I will be 10 years old on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas 🙏🏽”

Santa is waiting to hear from your kids, too. Click here to fill out the form, and you can submit a photo if you’d like.

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.
