Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause.

 
It's the holiday season again, really the most wonderful time of the year. KOST 103.5 is playing their month long of Christmas songs again and there's a slight chill in the air. Everywhere you go you are bound to run into a beautiful Christmas tree draped with all sorts of twinkling tinsel and ornaments. 

This time of  year brings the urge to be with family, stuff your face with goodies, and cuddle with that special someone. This time of year is also the time for giving. Every year, Macy's sponsors the "Yes, Virginia" Believe Campaign, explained here in this article.

Macy's sets up red mailboxes and letter stations in their stores for about a month. Customers can sit down at the station and write a letter to Santa Clause. For every stamped letter that is dropped into their red mailboxes, Macy's will donate a dollar to the Make-a-Wish organiztion.

Make-a-Wish is an organization that grants the wishes of children diagnosed with terminal illnesses. They have sent children all over the world and had them meet their favorite celebrities. 

Virginia's Original Letter to The Sun

The "Believe" campaign is unique because it is based on a popular story of a little girl named Virginia who wrote to The Sun asking whether or not Santa Clause was real. The response that appeared in an editorial was "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause". Since then, her letter has left a legacy and has inspired many holiday stories and short films.

So this year, head on down to Macy's and write your Christmas wish list to Santa Clause. You can help grant a child's wish this holiday season. I personally asked for a Christmas miracle this year. Because yes, there is a Santa Clause.
