By deBoraH BlacKwell | Messenger Post MediaSANTA is REAL!

Believe it or not,

DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.

Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.

Papa says, If you see it in THE SUN its so.

Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

VIRGINIA OHANLON.

115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have

been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They

do not believe except they see. They think that nothing

can be which is not comprehensible by their little

minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be mens or

childrens, are little. In this great universe of ours man

is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as comparedwith the boundless world about him, as measured by

the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth

and knowledge.

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

the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as

dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would

Eight-year-old Virginia OHanlon wrote a letter to the editorof New Yorks Sun, and the quick response was printed as anunsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. Te work of veteran newsmanFrancis Pharcellus Church has since become historys mostreprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole indozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, andon posters and stamps.

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 flls the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believein fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in

all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus,

but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no

sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the

world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did

you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but

thats no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive

or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable

in the world.

You may tear apart the babys rattle and see what makes the

noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world

which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength

of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.

Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that

curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory

beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world thereis nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever.

A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten

thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the

heart of childhood.

HOLIDAY SHIPPINGto soldiersBy deBoraH BlacKwell | Messenger Post Media

For soldiers who are overseas, receiving mail can be one o the most welcome, valued part o deployment.Not only does it show thoughtulness as service members long or amily and riends back home,

but it also shows appreciation or the hard work and eorts the soldiers provide.Being deployed during the holidays is an especially hard time,

so sending care packages rom home can help service members cope.Here are some guidelines and suggestions on what and when to ship to our troops.

HANukkAH TRADITIONSlive on in the miracle of light


When I was a little girl my motherleft the eight presents on the replacehearth and everyday of Hanukkah

after sunset and the lighting of thecandles we would get to open one gift.That was very exciting tochoose the gift each night.

Gail Malkoff, Ontario

Its important to know that thisis not the Jewish Christmas, rathera holiday that happens to usually

take place in December.It is a time of celebration,

recognizing that a small groupof Jewish people were able to survive

and then ourish after anattempt to deny them the

opportunity to observe their faith,and included the miracle of the oil.
