Santa Clause

Virginia Yes, even in the 21st century still there is a Santa Claus

He is a figure known throughout the world, an endorsement for gift giving season winter break and eat a cookie. It is sometimes called St. Nicholas, Father Christmas or Kris Kringle and is arguably the most famous heavyset celebrity - well, at least to precede Elvis Presley. Yes, he is adorable, durable and jolly old Santa Claus chapter that call. In 1897 a girl from Manhattan, at the behest of his father, was responsible to ask the New York Sun Newspaper once and for all if the man in red was the real deal.

Countless letters are written in newspapers across the world each year, and few, if any, will always be a moment of fame beyond the readership of their newspapers. However, over a hundred years ago, includes only a single letter of the words: "I have 8 years of age. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Dad says," If you see it in The Sun, is so ". Please tell me the truth, there is Santa Claus? "It would become one of the most enduring symbols of North America to take at Christmas.

One day in September 1897 (historians speculate that the issue arose in December as expected, but in September, because this would have been shortly after the new school year had begun and the children have to turn their attention to Christmas) young Virginia O'Hanlon went to his father, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon (That worked for a medical examiner's office), with the kind of innocence only to the younger ones are able to possess. She probably asked a small voice but curious if the rumors of his school buddies were right, Santa Claus was fake? Now without knowing exactly how the air was tense in the room at that moment when the child only Mr. O'Hanlon asked to discredit or according to the story of St. Nicholas, we can only assume that he did not have the heart to break the truth to himself. And so the letter (and response) was to become almost a symbol of the Christmas season as Santa himself was born.

Outside Virginia was to write a letter to his father's suggestion that she herself by mail, the New York Sun, which was given its response to a Civil War correspondent become ex-newspaper editorial writer with the name of Francis Pharcellus Church. The story goes that Mr. Church was not exactly jumping for joy in the allocation, but he took the child card back to his desk and began to write one more tribute to Christmas turmoil that has ever graced the pages of any newspaper.

Perhaps it was the atrocities of war he witnessed at first hand, perhaps it was his own desire to believe in Santa Claus, or maybe it was exactly what he would have said that nobody had asked him if Santa was real, but Francis Church wrote a serious, dramatic, almost poetic response to query Mademoiselle de O'Hanlon. In no short assured him that indeed, Santa Claus, or at least the unbreakable spirit and message of the image of St. Nicholas were as real as anything else on earth.

Although at the time that ran in the New York Sun that he was, but the seventh in his editorial page, this honest, joyful and poignant response would find its way into the hearts and Christmas for millions of people, covering many generations since the 1890s.
In fact, both the letter and its reply are reproduced in scores of newspapers around the world each year, a modern tribute and testimony of Virginia, Francis Church and the contribution of Santa Claus to the timeless beauty, the wonder and magic of Christmas.

Santa Clause
Why do people feel the need for their children theres a Santa Claus?

I know that many children learn more about who Father Christmas is Jesus .. Is it aweful if you choose not to have Santa Claus?

I never felt the need to tell my children there is a Santa Claus, however, return home with these stories and I'm supposed to go with it. I see nothing wrong with telling the truth Santa Claus is a story of some parents tell their children.
