DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’
Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.

VIRGINIA, 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, Virginia, 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, VIRGINIA, 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 VIRGINIAS. 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, VIRGINIA, 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, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Just because it is the Christmas season it doesn't mean that I can't have a Schadenboner.

Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint following a meeting in Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in South Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, her spokeswoman announced.


“The congresswoman was physically unharmed” during the carjacking, communications director Lauren Cox said in a statement. “She thanks both the Philadelphia Police Department for their swift response, and appreciates the efforts of both the Sergeant-at-Arms in D.C. and her local police department for coordinating with Philly PD to ensure her continued safety.”

I wonder if our Moron pal Wyatt Earp was there to "Serve and Protect".


And in case my Schadenboner subsides, I might get an additional four hours with this.

CHICAGO – Illinois State Sen. Kimberly Lightford was carjacked Tuesday night in the Chicago suburb of Broadview, officials said. The news broke as we learned a Pennsylvania Congresswoman was carjacked in Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon.

Sen. Lightford was traveling with her husband around 9:45 p.m. local time when three suspects driving a Dodge Durango demanded their Mercedes SUV in the 2000 block of South 20th Avenue.

Chief of Police Thomas Mills said, “This is still an ongoing investigation but I can confirm no shots were fired by the police. The victim did hear what they believed to be gunfire.”

Emory University, part Grinch, part Scrooge. How charming.

Is Emory going full Grinch? University tells students they can’t hang Christmas decorations.

While children and nostalgic adults across the nation enjoy the silly, whimsical story of Dr. Seuss’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” festive college students at Emory University found themselves in trouble for their Christmas decorations under a policy that would make the Grinch snarl with a sneer.

According to public reports, Emory charged the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity chapter on Dec. 3 with violating the university housing policy. Its transgression? Hanging a wreath and garlands on its front door and railings — a common tradition this time of year, but apparently banned by Emory Housing Policy 1.21.1, which allows students to “decorate for the holidays,” but requires “[s]orority lodges and fraternity / themed houses” to “request installation of exterior holiday decorations” before Nov. 1, and prohibits students from installing or removing any such “decorations” themselves. This policy applies only to displays that have “holiday” themes.

My guess is there were no donuts or coffee at this party.

NYPD officer giving her lieutenant a lap dance is identified
Lt. Nick McGarry was reassigned as the department launched an internal affairs investigation

NEW YORK — The NYPD rookie police officer filmed giving her lieutenant a sexually suggestive lap dance at their Bronx precinct holiday party has been identified, according to reports.

Vera Mekuli, 26, has been an NYPD officer for less than a year, having joined the police agency last February.


Not a particularly bright move considering everyone has a cell phone with video capabilities.

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was in office from January 22, 2017 – February 13, 2017. What the hell does he have to do with the January 6th demonstrations? He's fighting the fishing expedition of Botox Nancy.

Former Trump Adviser Michael Flynn Sues Jan. 6 Committee Over Subpoenas

Former Trump adviser Michael Flynn on Dec. 21 sued the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, seeking to block the panel from obtaining his phone records.

Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, alleged in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Florida that the subpoena issued to him by the committee last month was too broad in scope and punishes him for constitutionally protected speech he engaged in as a private citizen.

“Flynn has raised significant Constitutional and practical concerns that preclude his compliance with the subpoena without clarification of its scope and terms by the Select Committee,” the lawsuit states.

The former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and then-President Donald Trump’s national security adviser also alleged in the lawsuit that the congressional committee “has no authority to conduct business because it is not a duly constituted Select Committee.”

I remember being young and having a young family. One of our big treats was to go out to eat as we didn't have a lot of money. If you can't leave a 15-20% tip for the wait staff, is that a bad thing?

‘They wanted to take their family somewhere nice’: Applebee’s server exposes low tip in viral TikTok, sparking debate
If you can't afford to tip, should you eat out?

If you can’t afford to tip your server, should you eat out? That is the question one viral TikTok of a low tip is asking.


I think attempting to shame someone on social media is a horseshit move. Also if you are a waitress/waiter, one of the chances you take with your job is the amount of tips you'll make.

Not only does Santa see you when you've been naughty or nice so do technologically savvy spouses. Genius Award Winner.

A woman said she caught her husband cheating on her when she saw his 'half-naked mistress' leaving the family home on a doorbell camera.

TikTok star Sara, @nottheworstmom, said that her husband had skipped a family holiday because he was too sick but then later she saw some unusual activity on their doorbell camera, as the Daily Star reports.

In the clip, the man appears to check the coast is clear before a half-dressed woman walks out onto the porch, and the woman alleges the man was having an affair and the person in the clip was his mistress.

Dayvon Johnson of Oklahoma is Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. Actually two Feel Good Stories.


JUST LIGHT WORK FOR OKLAHOMA HERO, DAYVON JOHNSON, 11, SAVING TWO LIVES IN THE SAME DAY WITH A SKILL HE LEARNED FROM YOUTUBE.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some are children with good hearts that happen to be in the right place at the right time. Earlier this month, a sixth-grader from Oklahoma, Dayvon Johnson performed the Heimlich maneuver on a classmate. Then, that same day, Dayvon rescued an elderly woman from a burning house.
