Harlem, NY — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Harlem 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 Robert Jackson in Harlem, was written by 7-year-old Emmanuella:

“Happy holidays Santa, I'd love to get a Barbie doll this year with a Barbie dream house.”

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.
