BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Four-year-old Brantley was surprised by Santa on Dec. 11 at a Texas airport, where he revealed Brantley and his parents would travel to Breckenridge to build a snowman with Santa and his elves.<\/p>\n

As a child with congenital heart disease, Brantley\u2019s wish was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Macy\u2019s Believe campaign. In an interview with Macy\u2019s, Brantley\u2019s mother, Brandi, said he had never seen snow, and that snowmen and penguins are all he talked about.<\/p>\n

The experience was truly his dream come true, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I had to build a snowman because snowmans are my favorite,\u201d Brantley said in the interview. \u201cAll of it was my favorite part.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a rough year with a sick child, Brantley\u2019s parents were overjoyed by this fun event for their family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis couldn\u2019t have come at a better time because we see all the hardships that we went through last year,\u201d Brandi said in the interview.<\/p>\n

The Santa who helped make Brantley\u2019s wish come true is the same Santa who performs in the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade. He was happy to jump in and participate despite the busy season, according to Macy\u2019s Believe campaign spokeswoman Carolyn Ng Cohen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so excited to meet him,\u201d Santa said in the interview. \u201cHe has such, as you know, an amazing spirit himself. Think of the memories that we have made not only for Brantley but his entire family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen added that through Dec. 24, the company is asking people of all ages to write letters to Santa and submit them at macys.com\/believe<\/a>. Macy\u2019s will donate $1 for every letter up to $1 million to Make-A-Wish to help grant wishes for children battling critical illnesses.<\/p>\n
