"Yes, Virginia, there is a SantaClaus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, andyou 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 beas dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faiththen, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have noenjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhoodfills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might aswell not believe in fairies!" Francis P. Church (New York Sun, September21, 1897)
Hope your holiday isfilled with magic, poetry, romance, faith, family and love…
