"Yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus.
:41:21
He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist.
:41:27
And you know that they abound
and give to your life...
:41:30
its highest beauty and joy.
:41:32
Alas, how dreary would the world be
if there were no Santa Claus.
:41:37
There would be no childlike
faith then.
:41:39
No poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence.
:41:45
Nobody can conceive
or imagine...
:41:48
all the wonders that are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
:41:53
The most real things
in the world...
:41:56
are those that neither children
nor men can see.
:42:00
No Santa Claus ?
:42:04
Thank God he lives,
and he lives forever.
:42:08
A thousand years from now,
Virginia--
:42:10
nay, ten times 10,000 years
from now--
:42:13
he will continue
to make glad...
:42:16
the heart of childhood."

Hey, Buddy, it's Christmas.
:42:29
Buddy ? Buddy ?

[ Panting ]
:42:38
Buddy !
:42:42
- Merry Christmas, Josh.
- Buddy !

:42:54
Thank you, Mom.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you !
:42:57
I gotta get these flyers out
to the boys who tried out
for the team and didn't make it.
