Sixty-four years ago, an eight-year
old girl warote to the New York Sun
to ask quite simply; "Please tell
me the truth --- is there a Santa
Claus' e,
The newspaper's reply, which has
become one of the Christmas Season',
Classics, was in part as follows.
.a•
"Yes Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
!exist. And you know thatthey
abound and give to 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
childlike faith,, no poetry, no
romance to make •tolerable this
existence. We should have no
enjoyment except in sight and sound.
The eternal light with which child.
hood fills the world would he
extinguished. Nobody sees Santa
Claus bur •that is no sign that there
is no Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are those that
neither children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies dancing '
on the water? Of course not!
But that's no proof that they're
not there. Nobody `can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world...
No Santa Claus? Thank Goad! He lives,
and livesforever. A thousand year
from now, Virginia, nay, ten times
ten `thousand years from now, he
will continue to make glad the
heart of childhood.
