I watched this on a whim in 2012 and here I am, 26 years old and still watching it year after year. It’s such a touching little Christmas special. The spirit of Santa Claus lives within us all

“Yes Virigia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist…thank god he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay ten times ten thousand years from now he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
I was surprised to find that this had so little reviews, which means not enough people know about the magic of Yes, Virginia.
This Christmas special just warms my heart. To me, it shows that Santa Claus isn’t just an entity that delivers presents on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus is a spirit that lives within the kindheartedness of all people. Santa Claus lived within Virginia and Ollie when they gave Scraggly Santa a new coat. He lived within Scraggly Santa when he gives his only coat to an infant in need. And Santa lives within Francis Church when he published his response to Virginia’s letter to keep the spirit alive. I’m a true believer in “Christmas is a frame of mind,” and this special, no matter how short and cheesy it may be, solidifies it.
