Yes Virginia

 We have now entered December so since this is Christmas month I will be doing a number of Christmas them posts.

This first one is taken from a Christmas card Mum & Dad gave my sister Sue.

The Answer to Virginia

Many years back the editor of the New York Sun received a letter from Virginia O'Hanlon.....

I will start the answer tomorrow............


Why do one long ass post when I can spread it over two or three posts.
