Yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus"
Sixty-two yeors ago, an eight-year
old girl wrote to the New York Sun to
ask quite simply: "Is there a Santa
Claus?" The newspaper's reply was,
in part, as follows:
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
I . . ?
f and you know that they abound and
give your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas; how dreary the world
would be if there were no Santa Claus!
It would be as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There would be no
Hr childlike faith then, no poetry, no
romance to make tolerabll this exis
tence. We would have no enjoyment
then, except in sight and sound. The
eternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extinguished . . .
"Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that
is no sign there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world
are those that neither children or
men can see . . ,
"No Santa Claus? Thank God! He lives,
and lives forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the
heart of childhood."
