For our KOC Christmas Greeting on the local access station, I changed it to “Yes Virginia, there is a Jesus”.

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
(Luke 2:10-14, NIV)
. . . . .
Merry Christmas to all on the ping lists!

This whole Santa Clause business is just strange to me. Always has been. Why do people want to believe in a fake magical old man, when there´s actually a true story about St Nick?

I just saw the original letter on an “Antiques Roadshow” highlights segment. It was brought in by a family member, with a full panoply of provenance and documentation.

I’ve always had my suspicions about that Virginia O’Hanlon letter. What child refers to her own friends as “my little friends”?

Dear Virginia
You would not believe what your neighborhood looks like now. You're lucky you're not around to see it.
