Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...

"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."

for good food and warmth, for

the touch of a friendly hand

and for a talk beside the fire:

it is the time for home."

glow of happiness."
