Some of your friends might say there is no Santa Claus. Some others will also say, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.”. Are they right?
Well, Your 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,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, 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! 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 external 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 friends to have men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you 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 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 men, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now,or may be 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
This post is really interesting. You seem very knowledgeable.
Hi Liz,
Thanks a lot.
i beilive and im 13 …. santa is real I DONT CARE WOT ANY1 SAYS … thank you for this post ! :)
I believe Santa Claus is real and I am 10 years old. When I read this post and it seem interesting. My friends said that santa is not real but I just don’t agree with their opinion. I just never get a gift from Santa before and I’m kind of sad. I’m telling that I’m naughty. I can always wait to next year. Happy new years!
