Houston, TX — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Houston 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 Julio Avelar in Houston, was written by Three Month-old Emma:


“Santa I am writing to you the first time, but this one will not be the last one, I think I will keep writing to you, I want to tell you that I love taking pictures with you and by the way I have some in my album, thanks Santa.”

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.
