"In September 1871, eight-year-old Virginia Hanlon of West 95th street in New York City wrote the following letter to The New York Sun:
Dear Editor,
I am eight years old. Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in the Sun, It's so." Please tell me the truth, Is there a Santa Claus?
In one of the most famous editorials ever written, the editors replied:
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little...
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world 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 sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
No Santa claus! Thank God he lives, and he 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."
It is such a good reminder to think as a little child!
Our Dear Savior, Jesus Christ says:
"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24
"...that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." Galatians
3:22
Our family wants to wish all of you a very, Merry magical Christmas! May love, joy and peace be yours this Christmas and may you believe as a little child that all dreams can come true!
Merry Christmas with love,
Laura and Family
