Yes Virginia,There is A Santa Claus
Editorial Page,
New York Sun, 1897
We take pleasure in answering thus prominently
the communication below,
expressing at the same
time our great gratification that its faithful author
is numbered among the
friends of The Sun:
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
Virginia, your little
friends are wrong. They
have been affected by
the skepticism of a skep-
tical 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
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

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 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 papa 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 man, 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 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 lives
forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia, nay 10
times 10,000 years from
now, he will continue to
make glad the heart of
childhood.
trimmed with a wish
May your holiday be as bright
as a Christmas tree that’s all alight;
May your joys be many and your cares be few
and may your faith reside with you;
And when the trimmings all come down,
may good fortune hang around!

And she shall bring forth a son,
And thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people
from their sins.
Matthew 1:21
WE WILL BE OPEN
Thursday, Dec. 22nd , Friday Dec. 23rd
and Saturday, Dec. 24th
“The Way We Worked,”
on display in Elkton from
January 28 through March
3, 2012.
“The Way We Worked in
Giles County” is currently
in the planning phase. Different areas of focus will
include agriculture, industry, family farms, and
transportation. Local organizations and individuals
are requested to contact
the Elkton Historical Society immediately regarding loans of photographs,
personal stories and artifacts. It is requested that
all items pertain specifically to Giles County.
The more information
available about a specific
item such as names of people in photographs, age of
an item and location will
help ensure possible inclusion in the companion exhibit. Photographs may be
scanned and returned to
the owner prior to the exhibit’s run dates. Various
options for story collections are being reviewed
for the most accessible option possible.
Artifacts will also be on
display in the companion
exhibit for all visitors to
enjoy.
Examples of artifacts
include tools used in ev-
eryday historical life such
as a tobacco press or cotton scale. A later example
that helps to illustrate
work in Giles County is a
computer server from the
1970’s. When compared to
existing items and methods, artifacts allow a visitor to make their own conclusions regarding progress in the workplace and
changing technology.
Individual stories will
also help create a more
vivid picture of the evolution of types of work and
processes and how this
has affected local culture
and communities.
Donna Baker, Executive Director of the Giles
County Chamber of Commerce, said “It is such an
honor to have a highly renowned Smithsonian national exhibit in our community. The local exhibit
will be so interesting for
all generations to see how
work was done in the past
compared to present day”.
To aide in creating a
full and focused local
companion to the Smithsonian Museum on Main
Street exhibit, Humanities
Tennessee consultant Rob
DeHart recently visited
Elkton. Members of the

Hunters For The Hungry Fund Fees For
Processing Donated Deer In Giles County
S e v e r a l Te n n e s s e e
counties including Giles
have funding to process
deer and deliver the meat
to food banks in time for
Christmas, according to
the Tennessee Wildlife
Federation’s Hunters for
the Hungry program.
The Tennessee Wildlife
Federation’s Hunters for
the Hungry program is inviting hunters across the
state to donate harvested
deer, so that food banks
and soup kitchens have
meat to serve hungry Tennesseans through the colder months.
Between now and Jan.
1, select Hunters for the
Hungry processors can
accept about 650 deer for
free, which would provide
more than 100,000 meals.
Hunters can simply drop
off the deer at a participating processor, and the meat
is professionally butchered
and distributed to local
hunger-relief organizations. A list of processors
with funding is available
at www.tnwf.org/huntersfor-the-hungry.
Hunters in Giles County
may drop deer off at AJ’s
Deer Processing at 5680
Minor Hill Highway in
Goodsprings, TN. Initially
AJ’s could accept 50 deer
with the funding already
provided by Hunters for
the Hungry. You may
reach AJ’s by calling 931-

September 9, 1937 ~ October 25, 2011
The Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you,
for they knew the pain and suffering you were going through.
We thought about so many things as we held tightly to your hand.
Oh, how we wished you were strong and healthy once again.
But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky
where Jesus held His outstretched arms. It was time to say goodbye.
We struggled with our selfish thoughts.
We wanted you to stay, but Jesus knew the answer.
We knew He loved you so.
So we gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go.
Merry Christmas, We love and miss you,
Judy, Danny, Sharon, Shelia, Larry, Connie,
Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren
