“It’s the feeling of Christmas…what people call, “The Christmas Spirit.” It’s a kind of
dream or hope we carry with us from childhood…but as adults…as adults we’re imbued
by the pragmatic routine of life…which makes it difficult to regard anything with child-
like wonder. But…you know…it’s all right for us to try! We put on silly hats, and drape
trees with sparkly lights, and wrap gifts in garish paper…and that’s good for us! It’s not
only all right to allow children the transient experience of innocence and joy…it’s our
responsibility!”

~Dr. Sweets (From the TV Series “Bones)

(My favorite quote regarding WHY it’s good to allow children to believe in Santa Claus!)
