Yes, there is a Santa Claus. And as a newspaper editor reassured eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon in 1897, "He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy."
We can never outgrow the anticipation of a visit from Santa Claus. He is a magical figure, drawn from the legends, history, and folklore of many countries. The English still generally refer to the jolly old elf as “Father Christmas”. This rendition of Father Christmas has a velvet coat embellished with antique trim. He carries a feather tree adorned with reproduction glass and paper ornaments. Father Christmas is ready to make house calls as his pack is loaded with both antique and reproduction toys, depicting the joy of giving. This treasure captures the magic and generosity embodied by the spirit of Father Christmas, which lies at the very heart of the Christmas season.
