Merry Christmas

[yavaniel]

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 teh 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 peotry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.

New York Sun editor, Francis Pharcellus Church, Sept 1897
