The world’s most reprinted editorial appeared in the New York Sun in 1897.
A New Yorker, eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon, wrote a letter to the editor asking a very important question. She wrote, “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; is there a Santa?”Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Tears came to my eyes when Santa explained that at times adults with disabilities also want to sit on his lap. When they feel noticed and loved, they universally beam radiant smiles. Apparently, all just want to be heard and noticed. Santa made them feel special. And after all these years of working tirelessly in malls and private functions, Santa loves his job more than ever.
I asked Santa if he ever gets sad requests. His voice became quiet. After a long pause, he answered. “Once in a while, a child will ask me, instead of a gift, if I could arrange for his divorced parents to get back together again.”
