NEW YORK, NY — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Manhattan 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 Ylia Ortiz in Manhattan, was written by 4-year-old Xander:

“Dear Santa you know I’ve been behaving at home and at school so you know I’m a good boy. Can you please bring me Dinosaur and cars. Thank you I’ll save you cookies and milk love Xander farres”

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.
