Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus!

If you have never read it before, please take a minute and read this awesome story! 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. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history's most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps.



Santa Claus will be here at the portraits shoppe all this weekend and next, Dec. 4th and 5th - just call us up or make an appointment on the web to get your children's portraits made with him!
