Yes, Virginia, There Is A 
Santa Claus

Christmas is for children...
of all ages. 

It is the season for 

believing... 

with a childlike wonderment 
in things seen 
and a childlike faith
in things unseen. 

My gift to you...

Yes, Virginia, There Is A 
Santa Claus

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 eternal light 
with which childhood fills the world 
would be extinguished.
