Yes, Virginia

I told you the truth, believe me.
History: Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York's Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897.

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.
"115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET."

Reply from Editor:
... Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and ....

Has democracy a future? Yes, Virginia, it does.

Yes day

A "Yes day" is the one day that parents pick to say yes to everything their kids want or ask for. There are still some rules to a "Yes day" though. Rule one, parents can't use their phones. Rule two, the kids can't ask for anything in the future like a dog. Rule three, the kids have to earn a "Yes day", like do an extra chore. Rule four, parents CAN'T say "no" the whole day otherwise it defeats the purpose of a "Yes day". Last but not least, rule five, have fun and enjoy!

Kids, we're going to have a Yes day in two weeks!
