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.

Nobody sees Santa Claus, but 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 lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.

Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.No Santa Claus! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.-'Is There a Santa Claus?' Reprinted from the September 21, 1897, number of The New York Sun.
One day in the autumn of 1897 little Virginia O'Hanlon (1889–1971), who lived in New York City and who was eight years old, had an argument with some of her schoolmates about Santa Claus. Virginia felt sure there was a Santa Claus but her friends said there was not. Virginia felt greatly disturbed about it, and that night she wrote a letter to the editor of the The Sun, the newspaper that came every morning to their breakfast table. She soon had a reply.One of the editorial writers for The Sun was Mr. Church, a man with a big heart and a fine appreciation of poetry. He sat down and wrote an answer to Virginia, and it was printed in the paper next morning, September 21, 1897. And this answer had in it so much sympathy and thought that it has been printed again and again.
