P365 - 2013 - Day 340 - silly elves
Isabelle, Burke, and Barnes are up to their antics again. When the kids woke up to get ready for school, they found the sunroom covered in toilet paper and those silly elves hanging around....
*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 eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!- Francis Pharcellus Church (New York Sun 1897)*
