LOCAL NEWS EWITT POLICE REPORT December 5, 2014 – Officer Johnathan Powell was dispatched to Cormier Rice Mill to take a report of an accident. Upon arrival, Powell spoke to Cormier Employee, Ron Bales, who told him JB Hunt Driver, Willis Trahan, hit an electric pole, knocking out electricity to two Cormier buildings. No electric lines were knocked down, but Bales said the employees saw sparks on the lines when the pole was struck. Dispatch contacted Entergy concerning the outage. Bale said that he did not witness the accident.

Powell then spoke to Trahan and he told him that he was moving out of the way for another truck to get through, that the pole was in his blind spot, and he backed into it. Trahan showed Powell the spot on his trailer where he struck the pole. Powell saw wood chips on the right rear corner of this trailer, and two corresponding chips in the pole, where his truck likely hit.

Powell also spoke to Cormier employee, Aaron Armstrong. He told Powell that he was present when the truck struck the pole, and that he saw sparks run from one end of the electric wire to the other.

December 5, 2014 – Officer Johnathan Powell was dispatched to #33 Cedar Circle in reference to an attempted break in. While driving down Cedar St., Powell was waved down by Brent London, the resident at that address. London told Powell that a white male with torn up jeans was going to houses on Cedar Circle and beating on people’s doors. Powell told him he would patrol the area for that individual.

While patrolling the neighborhood, dispatch told Powell that London called again and said he saw the individual at the intersection of Cross St. and Cedar St. Powell went to that location and met Aaron Gibbs.

Looking at Gibbs, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and watery, he smelled of intoxicating beverages, his shirt was dirty, and his left pants leg was ripped from the bottom up to the pocket exposing his entire left leg. Gibb’s demeanor was confused, and he was unable to answer even simple questions. His speech was slow and slurred.

Powell asked Gibbs what he was doing out walking the streets that time of night, and he said that he was

trying to go home. Powell told him that he would help him get home and asked where he lived. He replied that he did not know. He then asked Powell where he was, and Powell replied, “DeWitt.” Gibbs said, “I live in DeWitt.” Powell asked him what his address was, and he replied again that he did not know. Powell asked Gibbs what he was doing on Cedar Circle knocking on people’s doors, and he said that he didn’t know.

After talking to Mr. Gibbs for several minutes, and getting nothing other than “I don’t know” as an answer, Powell was contacted by dispatch and told that Gibbs had been involved in a domestic dispute earlier in the day, which was handled by Deputy Randy Bateman. Powell called Bateman, and he said Gibbs was intoxicated when he dealt with him earlier in the day, and that he was nearly arrested.

Being that Gibbs was intoxicated, walking the streets, and disturbing local residents, combined with the fact that he could not give any answers to questions; Powell placed Gibbs under arrest for public intoxication and transported him to Arkansas County Detention Center.

FAITH & RELIGION WEEKLY SERMON

The Most Misunderstood Truth on Earth

By William Wood I speak of the love that God has for His created beings!

Far too many Christians believe that our Creator sits in Heaven with a large club in His nail scarred Hands, waiting for His people to make some kind of a failure so He can bash us. When in fact the nail scars in His Hands are crowning proof that He gave His Life on the Cross to make legal payment for every failure we would ever make in life’s journey. That is if we can find it in our heart to repent!

A parent’s love for their off-spring is a dark shadow of The Love God has for His created beings. It is past our ability to make the proper comparison between our love for each other, and God’s love for us! Words fail as, once we get a glimpse into The Heart of God, to try and compare it with anything on Earth. But we will try one, and perhaps it will give a glimmer of light.

If we stood on the shore of the great Pacific Ocean and viewed the vast expanse of water that stretches out past the horizon, then we dipped a thimble full of that water and held it in our hand, we would have the same chemicals in the thimble full of water as is contained in the ocean. But there would be no way to measure the number of thimbles full of water that is in the Pacific Ocean.

This is how God’s love is, it cannot be measured by the human mind, but thanks be to God, it can be believed.

It is the cure for everything that is wrong on earth. It will heal every relationship, it will heal every disease, it will stop every war, it will forgive every sin. It will make a man in a tuxedo hug the neck of man in blue-bib overalls. And last but not least, it will take us to Heaven.

Dear friends, be reminded that we were put here on Earth to find out where we are going when we leave.

There are two places, and we will all end up in one or the other!

The great revelation is that God had planned that we ourselves must make this choice.

Did you know lost sinner that God does not send sinners to hell! They choose that route for themselves, by not accepting God’s plan of salvation for the soul.

Who, in their right mind, would desire to go into the fires of destruction? But by not choosing to serve your Creator, you have but one destination left open to you.

You can call on Him today, from wherever you may be; at home, in your car, in a hospital, in jail, or just still alive somewhere. He has sworn to hear your cry, and give you the desire of your heart.

Do you believe that? Give Him a try. He has enough love left, even for you. He was born to die, so that we can live here on Earth, then in Heaven. Amen

A Thought

By Michael P. Daniel For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of The Lord will name. You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of The Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate …” Isaiah 62:1-4 NKJV You’ve no doubt heard the story of how a frog can be placed into a pot of water at room temperature, but will not try to escape the pot as the water is slowly brought to a boil. The increase in the water’s temperature is so gradual that the body (and mind!) is given time to acclimate until the boiling water begins to do its damage.

Of course we cannot imagine this happening to us because it is impossible for us to comprehend such a thing unless we actually experience it ourselves. We would like to believe we are smart enough to jump out of a pot of water that begins to boil, but this is part of what social science understands about “conditioning”. Over a period of time we go through changes we hardly notice.

We fail to understand how easily we are conditioned over time.

Israel went through the same social conditioning. They were taught about their own religion, of course (assuming they put forth the effort to be taught), but they were conditioned to the surrounding cultures they were previously supposed to have completely destroyed.

The Lord had assured Israel He would drive out all the “-ites” whose religious and social practices were detestable to The Lord, but this would happen only if Israel would faithfully follow The Lord’s instruction to the letter. They did not, as we know, so there were remnants left of a culture The Lord knew would entice Israel.

This reality of how easily humans are conditioned is why St. Paul encouraged the Ephesians to “walk circumspectly” (5:15) – that is, “think” about things as we perceive them and take nothing for granted – to think about things through the Scriptures and The Lord. If we only react or respond impulsively, then we will do what is pleasing to our physical senses with little thought toward what The Lord would ask of us, ultimately taking His love for granted.

Although we are not offered excuses, the reality of how easily we can be enticed will not stop The Lord from doing what He intends to do through Israel. The Lord intends not only to bless Israel but to bless the Gentiles through Israel’s “righteousness”. So maybe we can see how easily Israel had been “conditioned” away from The Lord so that through the Exile, The Lord would “recondition” His people back to Himself!

Especially considering The Story about to unfold in the season of Advent, surely we can see the great lengths to which The Lord will go to redeem His people, release us from our self-imposed prisons and chains, and give us the Life He has intended for us since the beginning! All we have to do is respond with our choices, our lives, our decisions – and The Lord will take care of the rest!

Let not another moment slip past. Embrace the reality of this Love, and let the Holy Spirit teach us! Lord, bless Your Church! And come soon, Emmanuel!

Blessings, Michael

God’s Christmas Sign

By Tom Smith “And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”

Luke 2:12 Nestled quietly in a sleepy little town The Lord of Glory was born; No entourage of VIPs would greet Him there And later would subject Him to scorn.

No reporters were there to witness His Birth, No red carpet was there to see; Instead, in a manger the King of kings was born On a night that was prophesied to be.

How quietly He lay there atop the hay, As angels and shepherds drew near.

He’d come from Afar to live on this earth, So He could free us from our fears.

Fears in life and fears in death, And fears of what is yet to be; Yes, He came to free us from them all— The Prince of Peace is He.

Why should this One so tender and small Be born in a cattle’s stall?

Wasn’t He God’s only Son, the Anointed One, And the Savior of us all?

Yes, that was He Who was born that night, Who lay there in the hay; But still He came to show us Love And turn all our nights into Day. His robe was cloth strips And, His crib—so crudely made; But through His Poverty we’re made rich And should never be afraid.

So, rejoice, O earth, this Christmas morn; Rejoice and gladly sing: For Christ was born in Bethlehem— God’s Son, the King of kings.

The Perfect Christmas Gift

By Pastor Steve Ellison Every one of us has faced the difficult task of purchasing a Christmas gift for the individual who already has everything. In reality it only seems that this person has everything. No person has everything. However, God does have everything. God states in Exodus 19, Deuteronomy 10, Psalm 24, Psalm 50, and 1 Corinthians 10 that the whole world and all it contains and all who live on the earth belong to Him. God has everything and needs absolutely nothing from us. Christmas is nothing, if it is not a celebration of the birthday of God the Son. What could a human bring as a gift to the One who really does have everything? John 1 says that all things were created through Jesus, that nothing was created apart from Him. Colossians 1 says that all things were created through Him and for Him and that all things are held together by Him. Jesus has everything; He has no needs. However, Jesus has a want; He wants our love.

Jesus stated in John 14 that the one who keeps His commandments is the one who loves Him. 1 John 2 and 1 John 3 provide a more complete explanation of this love that Christ spoke of. Love is not some theoretical, undiscoverable, immeasurable mush. Love can be observed and measured. Keeping the commands of Christ is loving Christ. Christ gave quite a few commands but I would like to focus on the last command that He gave before ascending to the Father. Matthew 28 records Jesus telling His disciples to evangelize and disciple the whole world. In this passage, Jesus specifically told the disciples to teach others to keep His commands. The gift that Jesus longs to receive from us is

for us love Him which is verified by keeping His commands. It seems to me that the last command given just prior to ascension would carry great weight. Keeping this particular command means that we would be giving the perfect Christmas gift not only to the Creator but to the creatures as well.

This is the one great need of every human being: being taught about the forgiveness of sin found in Christ and about all of His commands. Traditionally, Christians give presents to friends and family at Christmas. Some of our friends and family are very difficult to buy for.

The gift of teaching about Jesus is always appropriate.

Everyone needs this gift. This gift is never the wrong size. This gift will never be thrown in the trash, hidden in the closet, or returned to the store. This gift will be treasured for the rest of life on earth and in eternity. This Christmas, I urge you to accomplish three things with one gift. Make three people happy with one gift: you, another person, and Jesus. Each of you will be thrilled that you made the effort to carry out Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (NASU) Making disciples of Jesus is the perfect Christmas gift. This gift displays your love to Jesus; it meets the real need of every human being, yielding eternal life; and it will warm your own heart in a way that nothing else can.

This year, give the perfect Christmas gift: the gift of making disciples. .……..pastorsteve8800@gmail.com

Gordon Mote Gives Concert in Arkansas County

By Terrye Seamon

God gives ordinary people extraordinary talents and abilities, and world-famous gospel singer Gordon Mote continued to prove he was one of those people when he performed at First Christian Church in Stuttgart December 12.

Mote, who was born blind, started playing the piano when he was only three years old. He astounded his family one Thanksgiving by playing “Jesus Loves Me” on the piano. What could be called a child prodigy, he describes as one of God’s miracles. “That was the first time I sat down and played a song,” he said. “That’s how you know it’s a miracle from God, because threeyear olds just don’t sit down and start playing something. I’ve been playing ever since then and trying to get better every day.”

Mote, who already had a solo career, joined Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band in 2006 and performed with them for six and a half years. Since 2012, he has been focusing on his solo career although he still occasionally performs with the Vocal Band. “When you leave an organization or personnel changes, everybody thinks somebody’s mad at somebody or somebody’s not happy with somebody. That wasn’t the case with us. I just felt that it was time to move on. I just felt like God was calling me to do more of the solo thing,” Mote said.

Although his roots are in gospel music, the singer/ songwriter has a wide array of musical tastes and has performed with various entertainers of all genres such as Lionel Richie, James Taylor, Bob Seger, Alan Jackson, and Rascal Flatts, just to name a few. For example, on his latest album “All Things New” Mote even gets a little help from a few close friends like Scotty Mccreery, Josh Turner, Sheryl Crow, Darious Rucker, and Matthew West on his song “Do You Believe in Love?”

“I’ve worked with just about everybody, and they are just great people,” Mote said. And the connection goes beyond just the stage and/or the studio. Everyone keeps up with each other, as evidenced by his occasional texts from county singer Blake Shelton.

Mote, who describes himself as an overnight success ten years in the making, does have some ad-

vice for new and upcoming singers in the music world. “Don’t do it because you think you’re going to make a lot of money. Do it because you love it. It’s getting so hard to make a living in the business now, and you are going to get told ‘No’ so many times, so it better be your passion.”

Although the Alabama native grew up in a Christian home and gave his heart to Christ at eight years old, he still has soul-searching questions just like everyone else. “Just because you are in the ministry doesn’t mean your life is perfect. I have plenty of questions. There are plenty of times that I am discouraged and I want an answer right now. I am not very patient,” Mote said.

Despite the impatience though, Mote is quick to say that God has all of those answers, and they can all be found in the Bible. “That’s our roadmap for life.

Sometimes they don’t just jump out and hit you in the face. Sometimes I think God wants us to search for it and really search our hearts and be in close contact with him for those answers,” he said.

As far as life-changing moments go, Mote attributes 911 and the bombing of the World Trade Center as his “aha moment.” He was watching the news coverage that fateful day while he was in the studio. At lunch he phoned his wife, Kimberly, and told her that he felt like what he was doing did not make a difference.

“I’ve seen the power that music has. I’ve seen how a song can change a heart, how a song can change a life.

But that day I just felt like here we are. The Twin Towers have gone down. So many people have lost their lives, and I’m in here trying to help somebody make a career. I just didn’t get it. I was so discouraged for a couple of days.”

It wasn’t very long after that though that his rightful place in the universe was reaffirmed when he played on Alan Jackson’s song “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?” He recalls that when Jackson played the song for him for the very first time he thought, “That was His [God’s] way of telling me, ‘You are doing what I want you to do. Don’t doubt my plan for you.’ ” According to the father of three who describes himself and his concerts as an ‘open-book’, it all boils down to two things at the end of the day: the song and keeping it real. Motes has seen all facets of the music world as an artist, musician, and a fan, but he says the song and being able to communicate it is the most important thing. “You can be the best musician or the best singer in the world, but it’s all about the song and being able to communicate it.”

Mote’s down-to-earth personality exudes humbleness, and he will tell you that what you see is what you get. Mote explained, “People just want to know who you are, and they will love you no matter what if you’ll just show them you’re real with all of your bumps, bruises, moles on your nose and whatever it is you’ve got. That’s what I try to do anyway…just try to be real.”

All good things must come to an end. The December 9th meeting of the Quorum Court was not only the last meeting of the year, but it was also the last meeting for Arkansas County Judge Glenn “Sonny” Cox, who has served as Arkansas County Judge for 22 years.

Justice Tom Hasty presented Cox a plaque commemorating his service to the county from January 1, 1993, to Dec. 31, 2014. “I have served for 35 years on the Quorum Court, and I have served under several different judges. Sonny has been the most hands on, dedicated judge that I have served under,” Hasty said.

“He’s got the good of Arkansas County at heart, and he has worked as hard as he could work to make this county better.”

“I want to thank the people of Arkansas County for electing me, and I want to thank the people I have worked with,” Cox said. Cox told incoming Judge Eddie Best, “You have a good staff coming on to work with.”

Cox then presented outgoing Justice Ryan Eagle with a plaque commemorating his dedication and service on the Quorum Court from 2011-2014. “You raised questions sometimes that needed raising, and I think the county is a lot better for your service,” Cox told Eagle.

During the financial report, Arkansas County Treasurer Charles Albert Horton reported to the Court that the ending balance for November was $5,314,519.11, which is $800,000 more than last year.

Quorum Court members then spent a majority of

the meeting considering several appropriation ordinances concerning various areas and departments of the budget. In a lot of these cases, the Court considered the reappropriation or moving around of funds within the budget. All of these ordinances passed.

In other business the Court unanimously passed an ordinance keeping the meeting time and place of the monthly Arkansas County Quorum Court meetings the second Tuesday of every month at 9:30 a.m. at the DeWitt Courthouse.

Architect Bob Schelle from Cabot was on hand to present preliminary building plans for the rebuilding of the Stuttgart annex that was destroyed recently in a fire. Cox told the Quorum Court the county will receive $1,650,000 from insurance to go towards the building. Schelle presented to the Court plans for a one-story as well as a two-story building. Both plans were approximately the same square footage as the building that was lost in the fire. Justice Tom Hasty asked Schelle, “Do you feel good about being able to build a building like we want with the amount of money that we’ve got?” Schelle confirmed that they would. Plans were discussed for future meetings with the architect in order to continue to keep things moving forward.

The county courthouses in DeWitt and Stuttgart and the Arkansas County Road Department will be closed for Christmas December 23 at noon through December 26. They will reopen December 31 for end of the year business. New Year’s Day will be observed Thursday, January 1, 2015.

By Ora London I greet you again with holiday cheer! Christmas time is quickly approaching. Let’s be in prayer for people all across the World that they will realize that the reason for the season is Jesus Christ!

OUR CHILDREN: Let us continue to be in prayer also for the children in our community as well as those around the world. There are many children right here in the state of Arkansas that will not have food or gifts. If you know someone in need, Please take the opportunity to bless a child. Children look forward to toys and good times on Christmas day. “Give and it shall be given to you.

Santa Comes to Gillett

By Darla Grantham GILLETT EHC CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS The Gillett Extension Homemakers Club held its Christmas meeting on Tuesday, December 16, at The Willows in DeWitt for a Dutch-treat lunch.

Eight members were present and enjoyed the delicious food and the decorations provided by The Willows.

Margie Hackney, club president, called the meeting to order. Rose Ella Smith read an inspirational message based on Isaiah 7:14 reminding everyone to reconnect with our faith all year, not just

Gillett News at Christmas.

Anita Trimble read the thought for the month: “Knowledge humbles great men, astonishes the common man, and puffs up the little man,” by an anonymous author.

Smith had a word game of scrambled Christmas songs that everyone enjoyed. Jeannie Fletcher, who was celebrating her birthday that day, received the gift for winning. Hackney brought a door prize for the meeting, and Dorothy Connelly guessed the correct number to win. Hackney also brought a

two-year pocket planner and pen for each person. Becki Weinrich and Arlene Ferguson brought Christmas cards and candy canes for everyone.

Connelly, secretary, called roll with the question, “What is your favorite thing about Christmas time?” Most of the answers were similar, including family, friends, gathering and giving, music such as the cantata by the Community Choir, and, of course, Christ. The minutes were read and accepted, and the treasurer’s report, which included the club’s donation to the Gillett Angel

Tree, was approved.

The members thoroughly enjoyed sharing memories of Christmas from their childhoods. Connelly read the recipe for the Christmas Blessing Mix, explaining what each ingredient in the snack mix symbolized for the Christmas season. Thelma Connelly was also present.

The meeting closed with the Membership Pledge. The January meeting will be on Tuesday, January 20, at The Paddy in Gillett at 2 p.m. with Smith as hostess.

Dear Santa...

Brought to you by

Haley Watkins • Dawn Deane Shelly Faulkner • Dawn Teer • Terrye Seamon • Mary Trimble Arden Relyea

Dear Santa, My name is Arden Relyea. I am two years old and I have been a very good girl this year. I hope that my Elf on the Shelf is telling you how good I am being. Thank you for all of the wonderful presents you brought me last year. I have enjoyed them so much.

This year I would like you to bring me a basketball goal and basketball, a toy hamster, a microphone, colors and coloring books, and also some Sheriff Callie stuff. Please bring my sissy Delta some tennis balls and doggy toys too. She has been a very good dog this year. I will be sure to leave you some delicious cookies and a Dr. Pepper on Christmas Eve. Have a safe flight! Thank you so much!!

Love, Arden Lee Relyea

Haley Nobles

Dear Santa, My name is Haley. I been good this year. I would like to have a computer, and dog, hunting jacket, cow girl boots, New Wolf bedding, I pod. I will leave you milk and cookies.

Haley Nobles

Mak Guthrie

Hi my name is Mak Guthrie. Some people call me Big Mak. I would like some Roller skates and Cattle Trailor for my cows and anything else you think I may like.

Thanks Santa I will leave you some Dr. pepper and slim jims for a snack.

Love, Mak Guthrie

Asher Layne Boone

Dear Santa, My name is Asher Layne Boone and I’m two and a half years old. I have been pretty good this year, despite the fact that Mommy and Daddy keep saying that I’m going through a phase called the terrible two’s. I am really into guns, swords, and shields right now. The only thing I can think of that I really need this year is a Nerf “wadda gun”. And since it won’t be fair otherwise, maybe you could bring my Daddy one too so we can play together! I also enjoy anything that has to do with sports, especially baseball. Oh and I like movies and books alot too. Don’t forget my “sistagill” Adlee! She’s not picky, so any kind of treats to fill her stocking will make her happy. Leave something special for Mommy too!

Thanks in advance & Merry Christmas, Asher

Brayla Fletcher

Dear Santa, My name is Brayla Fletcher. I’m 1 years old and this is my second Christmas. My mommy said I’ve been bad but I think I’ve been pretty good. For Christmas could you please bring me a hello kitty power-wheel, dolls, a learning v-tech, clothes, shoes, and whatever else you think a 1 year old would want. Could you please don’t forget about my mommy, granny, paw paw, sissy angel, aunt pie, and TT Brooke and Uncle Aubrey.

P.S. Last year I asked you to take my daddy something special to heaven. Can you please do it again this year? He really loves polo. Thank you Santa. I’ll leave milk and cookies.

Cash Turner

Dear Santa, My name is Cash Turner and I am 3 years old. I have tried my best to be a good boy this year. Mommy and Daddy said I don’t need anymore toys, but I disagree.

This year I would like a monster truck, some tractors, a derby car like my PawPaw, and a new duck call. I will leave some cookies by the fireplace. Hopefully Daddy won’t be you to them. Have a safe trip Santa!

Love, Cash

Corbin Gosa

Dear Santa, My name is Corbin William Gosa. I am 9 months old.

My sister Kenadee wants you to bring me something she can enjoy playing with too. Please surprise us!

Your little buddy, Corbin

Emma Grace Morgan

Dear Santa, My name is Emma Grace and I am 3 years old. It seems like an eternity since you came around and I am SO excited to be seeing you soon! I’ve tried very hard (sometimes) to be a good girl. My mommy says that I am a sweet girl (when I want to be) but that I am also very hard headed and strong willed.

I would really like a kitchen for me and my little sister Lacy to play with. We love to get into mommy’s dishes and pretend to cook. I also love to help wash the dishes and do the laundry, when mommy will let me. I would really like a new leapad ultra. My little sister and I have to share, and we just aren’t to good at that. The Octonauts are my FAVORITE cartoon right now. If you can find any Octonaut toys I would LOVE to play with them. I can always use some new clothes. I like to change several times a day.

Please be careful on your night out. We will be sure to leave you plenty of yummy treats. I’ll try to talk mommy into getting some food to leave out for the reindeer. I’ll try to be a little better between now and when you come to see us.

Love, Emma Grace Morgan

Garrett Padgett

Dear Santa, It’s my first Christmas, so I’m new at all of this letter writing. I don’t need much, maybe a few toys and some diapers. I might be waiting up for you, Mom and Dad say midnight is my favorite! Don’t forget Harlyn and Will. They’ve been good to me.

Love, Garrett Padgett 1 month old

Henslee Henderson

Dear Santa, It’s me, Henslee Henderson, the girl Brantley the elf has been telling you all about! I really have tried to be a good girl this year but it’s just so hard! If I’m on your nice list I would love to have some barbies of my own, baby dolls with diapers and some hand sanitizer and lotions because I don’t like dirty hands. Remember my sisters Brooke and Harlie, they have been extra good! Also since this is my new cousin Jon Callan’s first Christmas please bring him some toys and some milk, he loves to eat like me!

Hudson Pippinger

Dear Santa, Thank you for the toys you gave me last year. My favorite was Kaden’s Mack and Lightening McQueen. I am still playing with it every chance I get. This year I’ve tried to be as good as gold, but sometimes, Mom says I’m rotten. I like to play with trucks and trailers, and tractors and combines, and Mater. I really like Mater. I will probably want whatever Kaden gets, so it might be wise to just bring me whatever you bring Kaden. I look forward to seeing you this year and I will try to not cry. Hope you have a safe trip, and I will leave you some goodies beside the tree!

Hudson Pippinger, 2

Jack Noble

Dear Santa, This is Jack...there are a lot of Jack’s but I’m Jack Noble and I’m 6 years old now! This year, I would like Transformers, Legos, a disk with wings and an articulating tractor like my daddy’s, a new flatbed trailer since mine broke, some Big Hero 6 Baymax toys and Planes Fire and Rescue toys. I looove all the stuff you left me last year, thank you so much! My new little brother Spencer is only 3 months old but he’s going to need

some new toys when he gets to sitting up and playing more. Please bring him a few things you think he might like! I can’t wait to make you some cookies and the reindeer some special food! Be careful flying on Christmas Eve! Love, Jack

Jay Marie Mannis

Dear Santa, My name is Jay Marie Mannis. I am five years old and in Mrs. Paula’s kindergarten class. I have been pretty good. Will you please bring me a Frozen Doll that sings, skate board and frozen video, and clothes.

Thank you Jay P.S. will you please leave my big brother Jacob Currie something nice.

Josie

Dear Santa, I’ve only been here eight months, but I have heard great things about you. I think we have a lot in common. You like cookies; I like the sweets Daddy sneaks me. You like giving toys; I like getting toys. You have reindeer, and I have a funny looking puppy. I think with all those similarities we will get along just fine.

Pappy and Jee say I’m a fuss pot, but Mama and Daddy say I’m a princess. I think that means I’m on the nice list, right? If so, I would love a Little Tikes car, a Leap Frog learning table, a rocking horse, and a Lamby like my friend Doc McStuffins. I would also love hairbows (the bigger, the better) and anything I can chew on. Please don’t forget all my cousins, especially Arden and baby Tabberer.

I will leave cookies and coke for you and the reindeer, provided Pappy and Jee don’t let Arden eat them all before you arrive. I can’t wait to see you soon!

Hugs and kisses, Josie

Kaden Pippinger

Dear Santa, Thank you for the toys you gave me last year. I have had a little bit of trouble this year with doing things my mom asks me to do without back talking. I think school has made me a bit wild, but I am trying to be better. Maybe I just need to stay with mom and dad all the time, and not go to school. I’m just kidding, I do love school! This year I would like a BB Gun and a Stretchkin Raphael, if I don’t make the naughty list. I really am trying to make better decisions. I will make you some cookies if Mom gets her oven fixed before Christmas Eve. If not, we will be sure to leave you a package of Santa brownies.

Kaden Pippinger, 5

Kenadee Gosa

Dear Santa, My name is Kenadee Lynn Gosa, and I am 4 years old.

Would you please bring me a drum set for Christmas? Also please bring anything else you think I might like! And remember my little brother Corbin.

This is his first Christmas.

Your Friend, Kenadee

Merry Christ mas

Lacy Elise Morgan

Dear Santa, My name is Lacy and I think I might really be getting the hang of this Christmas thing. I just turned 2 a couple of months ago and I have some older sisters that will help me out. I helped my oldest sister decorate our tree last week. That was a LOT of fun!

I’m sure my older sister Emma already told you that I want a kitchen to share with her. I really hope we get some dishes and some food to play with too. I really, REALLY need a Leapad ultra of my own. There is always lots of screaming and crying when we have to share, and my older sister is kinda mean. She likes to take it from me. I would really like to have some new games to play on our leapad.

I try hard to be a good girl. Sometimes it’s hard though because I’m the youngest of 5. I promise to be on my best behavior between now and when you come. I can’t wait to see what kind of things you surprise me (and my older sisters) with on Christmas morning. Please have safe trip! We will leave you lots of goodies to eat, and something for the reindeer too.

Love, Lacy Elise Morgan

Landon Powell

Dear Santa, My name is Landon Powell. I have really tried to be good this year, but some days it was really hard to stay out of trouble.

If you think I’ve been good enough I would like a light up book, tractors, and maybe a rocking horse. I’m not asking for much because I’m only 16 months old and would rather play in momma’s cabinets than with toys. Please remember my sissy. She deserves something extra special because I aggravate her a lot...she bothers me too, but we won’t get into that. Please be careful on you way. sissy and I will have cupcakes and coke waiting for you.

Hugs and Kisses Landon K. Powell

Landyn Reed

Dear Santa, My name is Landyn and I am 3 years old. I have been mostly good this year. I would like for you to bring me a baby tractor with a baby scooper, a big giant tractor, big wheels and baby wheels for my tractor, a bow and some arrows, and the Dusty and Frozen movies. Please don’t forget about my sissy and my cousins. I will leave you some milk and cookies and the reindeer some carrots.

Love, Landyn Reed

Noah Fisher

Dear Santa, My name is Noah Fisher. I’ve been really good this year. I would like some small ninja turtles, a Big Leo, small horses, and a motorcycle man. Don’t forget about Addie. She has been good also. We will leave

Me- Tyson Rawls

cookies and milk.

Love, Noah Fisher

Ridge Hornbeck

Santa, I have been good this year and I would love a Zoomer Dino and Skylanders Trap Team. We will leave granola bars for your reindeer, cookies for you, and the magic key to our house on the door.

Safe travels back home!

Your friend, Ridge Hornbeck

Riley Dollar

Dear Santa Claus, My name is Riley Dollar and I am 2 years old. I am so excited about you coming to my house on Christmas Eve. I want you to know that I have been very good this year and listened to my Mommy and Daddy. I have even started picking up all my toys out of the floor to help Mommy out!

This year I would like a Barbie camper playhouse for all of my Barbie dolls to play in, a gator like Nonnie’s so I can ride all over my back yard, fingernail polish for the days I go to the spa, and a bedtime story book for Mommy and Daddy to read to me when it’s time to go night night.

Thank you for all of the great presents you brought last year. Would you please say hello to the reindeer and pet them on the nose for me! I will be sure to leave your milk and cookies by the tree as usual. See you soon.

Love, Riley P.S. Please bring something nice for my cat Rudy (she has had to put up with me all year and probably needs a good present).

Sam Jones

Dear Santa, I love you, Santa. Thank you for sending my elf that reads the bible and for my presents. I would like an I-Pad, a monster truck, a spinner saucer, some new hiking shoes like the Wild Krattz wear, a new backpack, and a new bike without training wheels. Please bring Sawyer a new book, a new tractor, a new Elmo, and a new combine.

Thanks again, Sam Jones 5 years old

Sammy Hill

Dear Santa, I’ve tried to be good this year. I bet if you asked Aunt Carolyn, my grandma, and my grandpa they would agree. I have picked out three things I’d like you to bring me this year. They are some Lego city builder trucks, cars, or anything to build, some transformers (a red one, a blue one, and a yellow one), and Paw Patrol Rescue pups. I hope you have a safe trip. We will leave you some milk and cookies.

Love, Sammy Hill

SEASON’S GREETINGS Wishing you an abundance of * glad tidings * at this special time of year.

Spencer Noble

Dear Santa, My name is Spencer Noble and I’ll only be 3 months old at Christmas so I don’t really know all about you yet. Please bring me some toys I can play with once I get to playing and sitting up good! I’ll watch mama, daddy and my big brother Jack make you cookies and the reindeer some food! My brother is the best and really deserves some good stuff! See you soon Santa!

Love, Spencer Noble

Dear, Ho Ho My name is ME an I will be 2yrs old in January, I’m pretty scared of you this year, so please don’t forget about me, I like horses but my “Maaa” is scared of them and “Daa-ee” doesn’t need one to hunt off of because he has a buggie to ride, so maybe you can bring me a play horse, don’t forget about my buddy “Ash”, her Maaa “Dee” says she’s been a mess but you don’t have to believe that, and also please remember all my little cousins.

Hopefully “Daa-ee” will save you some cookies and milk!

Sincerely, Me-Tyson Rawls

Will Padgett

Dear Santa, Thanks for all the presents you brought me last year.

This year I would like a toy motorcycle, toy elf, and a Santa suit. I would also like a shooting truck. Don’t forget my brother and sister and all my friends in Mrs. Joni’s class.

Love, Will Padgett 4 years old

Jaden Hornbeck

Dear Santa, My name is Kimberly Jaden Hornbeck and I am 5 years old. I have been a really good girl this year and im doing great in Kindergarten. Mom says im a big help with my little sisters Landri and Kani and I try really hard to keep them out of trouble and that’s a big job! I would love to have a frozen bicycle for Christmas and I love any kind of makeup or nail polish, although mom probably doesn’t want me to have any of that stuff because my sisters make messes with it.

Daddy says I need a pair of waders since I like to duck hunt with him and mom now. Also, could you please bring Landri a frozen bike also so she will stay off of mine and Kani could use something to ride too. I love to cook so I will be sure to bake lots of cookies and try to keep dad and my sisters out of them.

Love your friend, Jaden Hornbeck

Colton Neal

Dear Santa, My name is Colton and I am 3 years old. I think I have been good this year, but my mom and dad may say different! There are a few things I would like for Christmas this year. I would really like a Spider – Man figure and a red ninja turtle. I also love books, puzzles, tractors, and construction equipment. Please don’t forget my big brother Caleb and all my friends.

I will leave a snack for you and the reindeer.

Love, Colton Neal

Carson Connell

Dear Santa, My Christmas list has got just a tad bit longer this year. I would like a drumset, a guitar, a microphone, and anything ninja turtle. Also please bring something for my little sister so she won’t steal any of my toys! Thanks Santa, you’re the best!

Love, Carson Connell

Collyns Green

Dear Santa, I’ve been a good girl this year. I’m trying really hard to get the hang of this potty business. I’m learning to help momma with baby kickers. I would really like it if you brought me some new princess barbies and Elsa and Anna dolls. I also think I might like an American girl doll and a pony for her!

Collyns Green, Age 2

Ivy Bogy

Dear Santa, My name is Ivy Bogy. I am four years old and have been a very good girl this year (if you don’t believe me ask daddy)! Thank you for all my gifts from last year. This year I would like a Sofia the First Vanity, A Doc McStuffins Mobile, and any American Girl stuff you would like to bring me. Also please remember my Bubba and Sissy, and all my cousins.

Shyla Fitzpatrick

Dear Santa, How are you and Mrs. Clause doing? Since Jesus is my Lord and he got 3 gifts, I’ll get 3 too. The first one is the Lego Movie on DVD. Second is Clawd & Draculara Monster High Dolls. Last but not least, a new Lego friend set.

With happiness, Ava-Grace Grantham

Hey Santa!

It’s me, Shyla. I want to tell you thanks for all of the nice presents you left last year. I really have enjoyed them this year. Mom and Daddy told me to tell you that we didn’t need as many toys this year as you left last year. (But I’m saying you just bring however many you want. We all know I’M the boss in this house, anyways).

This year, I’m almost 2, so I’m pretty content with anything that makes noise or lights up. As long as you don’t bring me dolls, we will be good. I’m not exactly crazy about those. I do want a school bus, because my favorite song is “The Wheels on the Bus.” I would also like some puzzles, some clothes (because I am outgrowing mine), and some cars.

Santa, I’m not going to say that I hope to see you soon, because honestly, you scare me. But I know Mom will make me see you in person in the next few days. I’ll just tell you now, I’m sorry. I can’t be responsible for whatever goes down on that day.

Please remember my G Momma, my Granny, Mom and Daddy, Nanny, Mama Ada, Aunt Lana and Uncle Bubba, and all of my cousins. They have all treated me pretty well last year. (They say I’m spoiled, but I just think this is how Princesses are supposed to be treated.) Remember all of the other boys and girls in the world, too. I will leave Oreos and Milk by our fireplace.

Love, Shyla Fitzpatrick Age 2

Emma Green Dear Santa, I’m so excited about Jesus’ birthday and getting presents. Thank you for sending our friend Allie the elf back this year. I have been good at school and a little good at home. My mom and dad are getting me an American girl doll for Christmas and my GeeGee is getting some stuff to go with her. Can you get me the stuff she’s not getting? That’s all I really want. I will leave you chocolate milk and chocolate chip cookies.

Love, Emma Green, Age 6

Hunter Lacotts Dear Santa, Please brig me the following below.

I would like to have a bow sight some more arrows and a quiver. Most of all an Xbox 360 also brig me some hunting boots and some waters. I would also like a shelf elf. Also for my littel brother a walker and a rattle. And my XBox 360 please bring 2 random games I hope you get this please send them to me I love on Leak Lake Ln at the end of the gravle road.

Also please bring a wish box. Thank you.

Thank you, Your friend, Hunter Lacotts

Angel Jennings Dear Santa, Thank you for the gifts I got last year. What I want this year is an Ipod, One Direction doll’s of Liam and Louis, One Direction fatheads, a tiara, a princess dress, a lot of Harry Potter movies, Harry Potters wand, mechanical pencles, and Duck Dynasty, action figures.

Love always, Angel Jennings, 10 years old P.S. Can you make it snow on Christmas for me?

Thank you.

Ava Grace Ward Dear Santa, My name is Ava Grace Ward and I’m about to turn 11 months old. I have not met you yet, but my brother (Jaxon) has informed me about you and the whole Christmas holiday…which sounds exciting!

If you could; would you please bring me some new chew toys (mine are looking kinda rough now since I have gotten two teeth). A pink push car (because I love pink and to ride outside). Anything that lights up and plays music, and if something else you see I might like will be fine with me too.

Please remember my mom, dad, and brother because they deserve something special too. We will leave you, I’m told, cookies on the table and treats for Rudolph, but I probably will leave you some gram crackers too, because they are my favorite and I love to share (spread everywhere) with everybody and I have not had a cookie yet.

Brenley Green Dear Santa, My mom says I’ve been a really good baby this year.

I just haven’t gotten the sleep thing down pat yet but I’m working on it! I hope that you will bring me some toys to chew on. I’ve gotten really good at finding things to put in my mouth and I love paper. I’m also trying to walk so any toys to help me learn would be lots of fun!

Brenley Green, Age 9 months

Addie Fisher Dear Santa, My name is Addie Fisher. I am 2 years old. I’ve been really good this year. I would like a Minnie Mouse, a horse, and a Raph Ninja Turtle because my brother doesn’t always want to share. Don’t forget about Noah. He has been pretty good also. We will leave cookies and milk.

Tessa Grace Herring Dear Santa, My name is Tessa Grace Herring and I am almost 2 years old. I would like a trampoline, a tablet and a car.

Let me tell you why! I love to jump on Laiken’s BIG trampoline with her and Madison, but they bounce too high. So, I would like a trampoline that is just my size! I would also like a tablet with games that I can play. Momma and daddy do not let me play games on their phones anymore since I accidentally called a few people. Another thing that I would really like is a car!! You see Santa, I’m big enough to push the pedal and drive Cache’s red tractor and Dylan’s green gator, but they are all the way in Hazen so a car of my very own to drive around Almyra would be big fun!

Maybe some books and puzzles too oh and anything from Frozen would be super cool. I’ve been a really, really, really good girl!!! Please don’t forget to stop by to see my cousins Kenadee, Corbin, Laila and Wyatt in Almyra and Dylan, Cache and Archer in Hazen.

Send my love to Mrs. Clause and give Rudolph a kiss on the nose for me.

Hope you have safe travels!!

Love, Tessa Almyra, AR

May the beauty of the season bring warmth and contentment to you and your loved ones. For your continued business and support, you have our thanks and sincere gratitude.

Dear Santa, I’ve been a very good girl. How are you! I’m fine. For Christmas, I would like some Flaire markers by Papermate, Maleficent on DVD, and an American Girl doll along with a Crayola crayon maker. Thank you!

Remember Jesus and others. P.S. say Hi to Happy for me!

Thanks, Mary-Claire Grantham 11 years old. Love you!

Landri Kate Hornbeck Dear Santa, My name is Landri Kate Hornbeck and I am 3 years old. I think I have been a good girl this year but mommy will probably tell you different. I am definitely a daddies girl and would rather go hunting stuff. My sister Jaden says we need some kind of frozen bicycles. Daddy says you need to find some waders small enough to fit me so I can help him pick up the ducks him and mommy shoot. Mom says not to bring anything that I can draw or paint with because she is tired of the artwork on the walls and furniture and no hair products because I use them in excessive amounts.

I’m going to help Jaden and mommy bake you some cookies and I promise not to eat all of them. Jaden also says that your reindeer need some carrots so we will put them on moms grocery list.

Love your friend, Landri Hornbeck

Laniyah Fitzpatrick Dear Santa, My name is Laniyah Fitzpatrick and I’m 2 years old.

I’ve been a pretty good girl and would love it if you would bring me a few toys. I’m not asking for much so here is my list. I would like a Barbie Corvette, a baby doll, books, clothes, a karaoke machine and anything else you think I deserve. Santa please don’t forget to bring Shyla, Beayla and all of my cousins, classmates, my teachers, my mom, Aunt Clara and my grandmas something good for Christmas. I will have you cookies and milk waiting for you and Rudolph.

P.S. Grandma Ada needs a special gift for taking care of me.

Love, Laniyah

Madelyn Grace Stone

gets the best of me, but I promise to be good when you come visit me. I enjoy coloring on Mom’s furniture and walls to give them a little added touch. So an art easel and some colors might keep me from ruining the hutch. I also like to sing and dance. And would love a tablet with Frozen sound track if you get the chance. Anything to do with Frozen really sounds great. But remember don’t be late, if you want your milk and cookies you got to be quick. My dear old Daddy will eat them, he’s still pretty slick!

Love, Kenley Noble

Kason Simpson Dear Santa, My name is Kason Ray Simpson. Thank you for the presents you brought me last year. This year I would Like a combine, a tractor and a truck and trailer.

Thank you Santa.

Love, Kason

Jaxon Wallace Dear Santa, My name is Jaxon Wallace. I am 4 years old and I live in Gillett. You know that song, “I Ain’t Gettin’ Nothin’ for Christmas?” Momma has been singing it to me lately, cause she says I ain’t been nothin’ but bad. I really don’t know why she says that to me… I’m just a little boy that likes to get into things… and everybody keeps telling her that it’s just normal. Maybe if you tell her, she will believe it! So, let’s just pretend Momma doesn’t say those bad things about me and see what toys you can bring me anyway. I would really like any kind of cars… red ones, big ones, fast ones. I don’t care as long as it has wheels! My new favorite show is Blaze and the Monster Machines, those trucks are so cool! I’d also like a ranger like my friend Gunner, so we can ride together. Please don’t forget my twin brother Jager and my sisters Jacey and Jaden and all my friends at preschool. I’ll try to leave you some cookies and milk… if I don’t eat them all first!

Love, Jaxon Wallace

Kani Hornbeck Dear Santa, My name is Kani Rae Hornbeck and I am almost 2.

Mom says I have been a really good girl this year. I love anything Dora or Doc Mcstuffins but my sisters Jaden and Landri say we need frozen bicycles. Mom says I could use something to ride too. She found a motorized frozen scooter online that is just my size and says that would be much better than a bike because my legs are too short and im too lazy to peddle one. I love to go hunting with mommy, daddy and my sisters so I can always use new hunting gear. Mom is trying to teach me not to wave at the deer from the stand. My sisters have promised to let me help your cookies and told me I couldn’t eat them, which is going to be really hard because they are my favorite.

Have a good trip.

Love your friend, Kani Hornbeck

Dear Santa, My name is Madelyn Grace Stone and I am 14 months old. I have really tried to be a good girl this year, but I’m starting to get into things. My mommy and daddy says that I have been a pretty good girl. Last year at Christmas I was only 3 months old so this year should be very exciting.

I would like for you to bring me a Minnie Mouse chair, a wagon, a frozen singing doll, a Henry Huggle monster singing toy, some new clothes because a girl can never have to many outfits and anything else with Sophia the First, Doc McStuffins or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that you think I would like. Please don’t forget my Bubba Pepper he likes squeky toys and soft dog treats. He’s my dog but I call him my Bubba.

I will leave you some milk and cookies and some treats for all the reindeer by the Christmas tree. Please don’t forget all my daycare friends and all my cousins and family.

I love you, Madelyn Grace Stone

Dear Santa, Thank you for my gifts last year. This year I want a 3DS game from Frozen, a boy Barbie, Valentine doll form Monster High and a Barbie Horse Tracer like I had last year, mine got broken.

in Gillett. I started preschool this year and I try so hard to be good. Sometimes that doesn’t always happen, but I’m sure you can overlook all that… right?

And I’m sure you see when I get into trouble at home; but, really I’m just a curious little boy and want to see how high I can jump on the bed. So just pretend you don’t see all the bad I do, and just see the good… like when I’m sleeping… I’m really at my best then! This year for Christmas, I really would like some new cars and trucks, and I LOVE SpongeBob Squarepants. I also like that show Paw Patrol, so anything with rescue puppies would be fun. Please don’t forget my twin brother Jaxon and my sisters Jacey and Jaden and my friends and Mrs. Joni at preschool.

Love, Jager Wallace

Cameron Rodgers Dear Santa, My name is Cameron Rodgers and I am seven years old. I’m really enjoying the first grade at St. John’s this year and hope you will bring me and my friend’s lots of cool toys. I would like a hover soccer ball, the planes fire and rescue remote control airplane, and the Lightening McQueen remote control car that I saw at Disney World. I will make you cookies and leave your milk by the fireplace. Please bring Cason his own toys so he won’t want to play with all of mine.

Your buddy, Cameron Rodgers, 7

Cason Rodgers Dear Ho-Ho, My name is Cason Rodgers and I am almost three years old. I have been a good boy most of the time.

Love your pal, Cason Rodgers, 3

The following letters are from First Baptist Preschool in DeWitt

Mrs. Lee Green Dear Santa, I just wanted you to know how great our children at First Baptist Preschool have been this year. They have behaved well, worked hard, and tried to share with each other every day.

They each deserve a visit form you on Christmas Eve because I don’t believe that you will find any of them on your naughty list!

You might find more than one letter from some, but that is ok, they love writing letters and hearing from you!

Hope that you and Mrs. Claus have a wonderful Christmas and please don’t forget to leave the reindeer and elves a special treat for all their hard work!

Kolt

Dear Santa, My name is Kolt and I’m a year and a half old. I’m really looking forward to spending this Christmas with my family. My mommy says I slept through last Christmas but I’m really grateful for all the gifts you left for me and my big brother. This year has been tough for a little fella like myself, but I’ve been working really hard rolling over, learning to sit up, and enjoying going to school. My favorite toys are the kind that light up and that I can turn on and off myself. Mommy and Daddy tell me it has something to do with cause and effect or something like that. Santa, let me be really honest with you. My big Christmas wish is to go to Chicago this summer and meet a lot more families that have kiddo just like me. The CHARGE Syndrome Foundation only holds its conference every two years, so I was way too little to go to the last one. Mommy and Daddy are working really hard to get everything together so we can go, and are already having to start planning for the trip. My wish is for everyone to be healthy to make the trip. I hope you, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, and all the elves had a great year!

P.S. If you could bring my big brother, Kash, something extra special. I’ll leave some extra treats out for you when you stop by. He’s had a lot of adjusting to do this year. I think he is a pretty good kid for a three year old, ya know.

Dear Santa, My name is Remington Doran. I am 11 months old. I have been very good this year for Christmas.

And don’t forget my Mommy, Daddy, and my sister Cheyenne. They have been good this year too!

Love you Santa Remington

“...there is a Santa Claus.”

YES, VIRGINIA “Yes, indeed!

“Virginia, your little friends are wrong.

They have been affected by skepticism of a skeptical age-they do not beleive 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.

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 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 fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!!

You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there - nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strengthof all the strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the 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 neither children nor man can see.

Did you ever see fairies dancing on the

curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.

Is it all real? ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! - he lives, and he lives forever - a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year A
