Boston, MA — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Boston 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 Natasha August in Boston, was written by 8-year-old Samantha:

“Dear Santa,
I love my parents and my brother and school. I have been good all year long, except for one time. I'm a Top Reader I'm my class.
Santa, I want a Reborn Doll on Amazon for Christmas. I'm leaving some milk n cookies for you Santa. I visited the North Pole on the Polar Express last week and I saw you & Mrs Clause, elves, Rudolph too.
Merry Christmas Everyone!”

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.
