Milford Mom Shares Son's Christmas Poem Written 30 Years Ago

MILFORD, MA — Writing a letter to Santa is a treasured tradition for many Milford 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. While this submission by Jan Fornaciari in Milford is not a letter, it showcases the holiday spirit through the eyes of her son, Anthony, when he was in fourth grade more than 30 years ago:

"Title: Candy Canes

C is for cookies to eat

A is for asking Santa for gifts

N is for not getting coal for Christmas

D is for dandy gifts to open

Y is for yummy food today

C is for candy canes for Santa

A is for awesome gifts to give

N is for nothing more fun than being with your family

E is for everyone to be happy on Christmas Day

S is for St Nick to give good kids gifts.

This is something done in 4th grade. I saved this for about 30 odd years My son is 41 now! And I plan on wrapping it as an awesome gift."

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. However, 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.
