Read an online article from USA Weekend Magazine: "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus"

Have u heard about a little girl named Virgina who wrote a letter to a newspaper editor in 1897? She asked an editor about Santa Claus in the letter. I have heard about this story and saw about it on Christmas TV movie years ago, remember that? Charles Bronson played a newspaper editor in it. Very interesting. Anyways, I read that magazine about it this morning. I would say "Wow!" In it, the magazine asked 3 newspaper writers about Virginia so they responded back to it for what they think of Virginia. Here is a link of USA Weekend Magazine article below for u to read:
"Yes, Virgina There Is a Santa Claus"
Here is a link of an original letter I found in Wikisource below:
"Is There a Santa Claus?"
There is also online bonus by USA Weekend: "Talking with Virginia's granddaugthers"
I found a website of National Christmas Center about Virgina and Santa Claus. Here is a link about this below:

So, do u want to know who Francis Pharcellus Church, a newspaper editor, who answered a letter back to Virginia about Santa Claus? Here is a link about him below:

When I was a young girl in an elementary school, a teacher asked us to write a letter to Santa Claus. I did it once and asked what I want for Christmas. Did u, Y360 Friends?
That's it.
