Groton Child, 9, To Santa: 'I Would Like A Bigger Bike'
Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to share holiday joy and the magic of Santa this season.

Groton, CT — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Groton 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 LaVonne Torricellas in Groton, was written by 9-year-old Irelyn:
“I would like a bigger bike. I am 5' 2" tall and my bike is too little.”

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.
