Stratford, CT — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Stratford 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 Lindsay Gauthier in Stratford, was written by 5-year-old Adelina:

“In my daughter's own wise words, 'My wish to Santa, his elves and pretty deer is please bring all cold and hungry kids warm blankets and snacks. Maybe some of them would even like stuffys to keep them company. Maybe he can bring me a new stuffy too and a sleeping mask!' I have to love her for being so caring these days.”

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.
