Pawcatuck, CT — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Pawcatuck 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 Grandy Tanguay in Pawcatuck, was written by 10-year-old Christian:

“Dear Santa. I’ve been a very good boy this year and I hope your elf put my name in the good side of your book. I hope you give me some toys. Whatever you have in your he workshop. You always give me great stuff. Except for that time you got me a can of tuna. That must have been an elf mistake. Anyway I hope you have a nice Christmas and say Happy Birthday to Jesus. XO Chris”

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.
