Dear Abby:

I’m 8years old, and I have a question that has bothered me for months.

Is Santa Claus a real person, and if not, why does everyone say he is?

And if Santa INS’T real, where do all the letters go?

- Confused in Kingston, N.Y.

Dear Confused:

Santa Claus is more than a human being.

Santa Claus is the living symbol of selfless giving,

handed down from one generation to the next.

In 1897, a girl named Virginia asked the same question in a newspaper.

A very wise newspaper editor; Frank Church, wrote in reply:

“Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. …

The most real things in the world are

those which neither children nor men can see. …

Thank God, he [Santa Claus] lives, he lives forever.

A thousand years from now –

may, 10 times 10,000 years from now,

he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

” Letters to Santa Claus go where every other letter goes –

directly to the U.S. Postal Service,

which make sure the letters reach their destination

regardless of rain, hail, sleet or snow.”
