They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their minds, Virginia whether they be men or children are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect in intellect as compared with the boundless world about him as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth.
Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!
It would be as dreary if there were no Virginias.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Today is the Dutch Saint Nicholas, December 5th for the adults and December 6 for the children.
That’s where Santa Claus also derived from…
But both of us value the date of early December versus the 25th which coincides with the biggest Christian celebration on earth!
And… it is not a commercial celebration but ought to be one of LOVE. Maybe hand made things, given with a big heart.
Hugs,
Mariette
