Yes, Virginia There Is A Santa Claus
Dear VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. : R O Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion IT DEAR ED s old. exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how r a e y y dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no a ds s n ie I am 8 r f VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this le t y lit m f o e existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which . Som Claus a t n a childhood fills the world would be extinguished. S no in it e there is e s Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to ‘If you , s y a hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did s a Pap . o s not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is ’s it no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither THE SUN e the truth; is children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but m ll that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there Please te ta Claus? n a are unseen and unseeable in the world.

Who Was Virginia O’Hanlon? HISTORY
In 1897, Dr. Philip O’Hanlon, a coroner’s assistant on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was asked by his then eight-year-old daughter, Virginia (18891971), whether Santa Claus really existed. Virginia had begun to doubt there was a Santa Claus, because her friends had told her that he did not exist. Dr. O’Hanlon suggested she write to the New York Sun, a prominent New York City newspaper at the time, assuring her that “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” While he may have been passing the buck, he unwittingly gave one of the paper’s editors, Francis Pharcellus Church, an opportunity to rise above the simple question, and address the philosophical issues behind it.
Church was a war correspondent during the American Civil War, a time which saw great suffering and a corresponding lack of hope and faith in much of society. Although the paper ran the editorial in the seventh place on the editorial page, below even an editorial on the newly
invented “chainless bicycle”, its message was very moving to many people who read it. More than a century later it remains the most reprinted editorial ever to run in any newspaper in the English language.[1]
In 1972, after seeing Virginia O’Hanlon’s obituary in the New York Times, four friends formed a company called Elizabeth Press and published a children’s book titled Yes, Virginia that illustrated the editorial and included a brief history of the main characters. The book’s creators took the book to Warner Brothers who eventually did the Emmy award-winning Television show based on the editorial. The History Channel, in a special that aired on February 21, 2001, noted that Virginia gave the original letter to a granddaughter, who pasted it in a scrapbook. It was feared that the letter was destroyed in a house fire, but thirty years after the fire, it was discovered intact. Some people have questioned the veracity of the letter’s authorship, expressing doubt that a young girl such as Virginia would refer to children her own

age as “my little friends”. However, the original copy of the letter appeared and was authenticated by an appraiser on the Antiques Roadshow in 1998. Its value was appraised by Kathleen Guzman, formerly of Christie’s - now with PBS’ Antiques Roadshow - at approximately $50,000.[2] Interestingly enough, when the editorial is reproduced today, it often omits more than half of Church’s original response. One paragraph that is not often repeated begins, “Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies.”[citation needed] Virginia O’Hanlon’s full name is Laura Virginia O’Hanlon Douglas. She was born on July 20, 1889 in Manhattan, New York. She was married to Edward Douglas and was listed as divorced in the 1930 United States Census. Her marriage to Douglas was brief and ended with him deserting her shortly before their child, Laura, was born.[1] Virginia received her Bachelor of Arts from Hunter College in 1910; a Master’s degree in Education from Columbia University in 1912, and a doctorate from Fordham University. Virginia was a school teacher in the New York City School system. She started her career as an educator in 1912, became a junior principal in 1935, and retired in 1959.[3]
Virginia died on May 13, 1971 in a nursing home in Valatie, New York.[4] She is buried at the Chatham Rural Cemetery in Chatham, New York. Every year, Virginia’s letter and Church’s response are read at the Yule Log ceremony at Church’s alma mater, Columbia College of Columbia University.[5] The story of Virginia’s inquiry and the Sun’s response was adapted into an Emmy Awardwinning animated television special in 1974, animated by Bill Meléndez (best known for his work on the various Peanuts specials) and featuring the voices of Jim Backus and Jimmy Osmond, and in 1991 it was adapted into a made-for-TV movie with Richard Thomas and Charles Bronson. In New York City, local television journalist Gabe Pressman has recounted the story each Christmas for the past thirty years.[citation needed] Virginia O’Hanlon received a steady stream of mail about her letter throughout her life. She would include a copy of the editorial in her replies. [6] In an interview later in life, she credited the editorial with shaping the direction of her life quite positively.[7] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
