Michael, 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, Michael, 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, Michael, 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 Michaels. 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 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 that's 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 baby's 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, michaelc, 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, Michael, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Santa is real. for proof read the letter from Virginia which She sent to The New York Times Newspaper and the response they gave her. their answer is as true today as when Virginia wrote the letter many years ago.

O yeah he's definitely real hahaha!!! Don't give away the secret but the real Santa is my dad who sneaks in the Christmas tree in the middle of the night to put presents there and eat the cookies; then tell all the little kids that its really "jolly old St.Nick" that did it instead of him. That lier!!! When was it ever ok to lie to kids just to get them to believe in something that's not real!!! My dad later told me when I grew up that it was really him who did all that crap and admitted he lied. That's what really pisses me off. I don't mind if people believe in him. I only get mad when adults deliberately lie to their kids about believing in something that they know isn't real. That applies to the tooth fairy and easter bunny people!

Yes Virginia , there is a Santa Claus..........
"Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies"
Aline from Josephs not to original desertation---But I think it's safe to say "Fairies" exist. Don't believe me, You should meet my uncle!!!!!!!
By the way "Lil'd", my uncle the "fairy" is also a "dentist" and qualifies as a real "TOOTH FAIRY".
