Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus.





 

                                Yes, Virginia There is  a Santa Claus.



I remember reading this story in grade school and I  loved it but now 

days nobody cares about these kind of stories cause it's not about them 

but if people would just get over there always wanting to be in the 

spotlight stuff they could all enjoy a story like this cause it is a 

wonderful story and if more of us were like Virginia this world would be 

much better place. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we: 




New York City. It's 1897. Eight year old Virginia O'Hanlon has always 

loved Christmas. Until the day her classmates bring up the age old 

question: "Is there a Santa Claus?" Not sure what to believe, Virginia 

ventures into the city to find out for herself. Along the way she consults 

some unusual characters: a scraggly Santa ringing a bell, an excitable 

librarian with a shelf full of Christmas books, and her quirky doctor 

father. Unable to find the answers she's looking for, Virginia writes to 

The New York Sun newspaper. Her letter makes its way to the desk of 

curmudgeonly editor Francis Church, who has better things to do than 

respond to a little girl's questions. But through Virginia's determination 

and a little help from a scraggly Santa Mr. Church is persuaded to write 

his answer...an answer that becomes the most famous newspaper 

editorial of all time.
