"yes virginia, there is a santa claus"

this is one of my favorite pictures ever so i had to share it.

date: christmas morning december 25th, 2008
time: 6:00am
me: "garrett are you excited to go downstairs and see if santa came last night?!?"
and this is the reaction i got:
i think it captured the mood perfectly.

"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......
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."
