Santa

Small children in many households around the world know that Santa is not mythological. He is quite real. The evidence is under the tree. If Santa were not real, we would not do this whole festival this way - celebrating generosity by giving gifts to friends and family, celebrating abundance by feasting, celebrating family by connecting with relatives, celebrating the passing of the year by lighting our homes. Children know that Santa is quite real. And on days like today, I believe it, too.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
