Laura Ingalls Wilder Quote
Ma! she cried. There is a Santa Claus, isn't there?Of course there's a Santa Claus, said Ma. The older you are, the more you know about Santa Claus, she said. You are so big now, you know he can't be just one man, don't you? You know he is everywhere on Christmas Eve. He is in the Big Woods, and in Indian Territory, and far away in York State, and here. He comes down all the chimneys at the same time. You know that, don't you?Yes, Ma, said Mary and Laura.Well, said Ma. Then you see--I guess he is like angels, Mary said, slowly. And Laura could see that, just as well as Mary could.Then Ma told them something else about Santa Claus. He was everywhere, and besides that, he was all the time.Whenever anyone was unselfish, that was Santa Claus.
