Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus

In 1897, one little girl taught a city what it means to believe.

On Dec. 11th CBS will premiere a new original animated special called, Yes, Virginia. Building on the story of 8-year-old Virginia OHanlons letter to the editor of the New York Sun, the holiday special takes us on a charming adventure about the existence of Santa Claus and the curiosity amongst believers. During the creation of Yes, Virginia, a special wish was fulfilled for 10-year-old Wish kid Taylor Hay whose voice and likeness were captured for one of the characters.

Tell Us Why You Believe! Visit www.Macys.com/Believe and submit either a short essay or video telling the world why you believe for your chance to win a very special VIP trip to the 2010 Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.

How would you respond to Santa Claus if he was lost? "Yes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia"?

@johnclones - But the real, authentic "Santa Claus" was indeed Saint Nicholas, a 4th century Greek Bishop of Myra - He was actually Nikolaos of Myra who came from Turkey...this is the true story behind the myth.

*(Myra by modern boundaries is a location in present day Turkey).
