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
a 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.
