Red Lion, PA — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Pennsylvania 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 Grandma in Red Lion, was written by 5-year-old Lily Faith Rider:

“Dear Santa I am a 5 year old girl who is in kindergarten. I love dinosaurs, coloring, riding my bicycle and doing things with my family. Grandma said you lost a button last year and she has it hanging on her tree along with milk and cookies I helped make.”

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.
