While helping to sort through the messages received for this week’s Eagles Mailbag, I found a lonely letter with a curious address on the mailroom floor. The smallish white envelope featured a large Flyers stamp and was addressed to Saint Nick Foles. This note could only be one thing this close to the holiday season—a Christmas List for Saint Nick!
Jolly Ole Saint Nick (Foles)
To Mr. Saint Nick Folks,
My daddy told me that a jolly old quarterback named Saint Nick Folks saveded the Eagles’ season and won the trophy and Philly was happy. My brother and I wrote you this letter, and we want the Flyers to do gooder on the ice and thought you could use your magic powers to help.
Tom’s Christmas Wishes For The Flyers
- New Batteries for Tippett – My friend Owen is fast and new batteries will make him zoom faster.
- A Pillow for Michkov – I know if I went all the way around the world, I’d be more tireder than ever. Please bring a pillow for my buddy so he can have an afternoon nap too!
- Hugs for goalies – I like the guys with the big muscles under their shirts. They look sad after games this month. Hugs help me when I am sad, so please bring them hugs and more taps on the head like after they win and are happy.
Jerry’s Christmas Wish For The Flyers
- Buddy for Drysdale – My friend, Jamie, came here last year without his bestest buddy far away. I would be sad and I want my friend here, too. Can you please bring his buddy, Trevor Zegras, to Philly? It’s the only thing I’m asking for this Christmas… oh and a new bike… but that’s it, I promise!
We hope you like the milk and cookies. We won’t forget them again this year, pinky-promise!
Tom & Jerry
