Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus
Merry Christmas readers and I hope the New Year brings you much joy and happiness. As you know, at Christmas time I like to do things a little differently when it comes to the Editorial and this year I am going to share with you another editorial that truly embodies the spirit of Christmas and went on to become one of the most famous and enduring ever written.
Francis P. Church’s editorial, “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” first appeared in The New York Sun in 1897, more than a hundred years ago, and was reprinted annually until 1949 when the paper went out of business.
