Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…
My thanks to Bea Fields, a fantastic coach friend of mine, for reminding me of this…
I love it and wanted to share it with all of you!
“To the Editor of The Sun:
I am 8 years old. Some of my little 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?”
Virginia O’Hanlon
Answer:
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 then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.”
