The Big Santa Claus Question

At this time of the year, as Christmas approaches, many children and young people will turn to the adults in their lives and ask a reasonable question “is there a Santa Claus?”A one-word response is a very unsatisfactory reply to such an important question. So where do you go to find a more meaningful answer? Here is a famous r reply that has been celebrated for more than a century. Photo by Jesson Mata on Unsplash

Hi, Tony,
Thank you for reading that whole response to Virginia’s question, “Is there a Santa Claus?”
As you know, I grew up near New York City, and indeed, this editorial was part of the zeitgeist, and indeed the ethic, of the area even in the 1950’s, when I was growing up. (Less so now, unfortunately!) Excerpts of it were quoted on the TV news around Christmas time, and references to it turned up in the newspapers, which conveyed the overall conclusion of the original piece. So I never really knew more than snippets.
The complete piece is beautifully written and it is a delight to hear you read it. Thanks again.

It’s a beautiful way to remind ourselves about Christmas and it’s beauty and wonder. Happy holidays and Yule Tony!!
