Santa is everywhere on Christmas Eve
A quote from Laura Ingalls
*******
Laura and Mary knew that Santa Claus could not come down a chimney
when there was no chimney. One day Mary asked Ma how Santa Claus could come.
Ma did not answer. Instead, she asked, “What do you girls want for Christmas?”
. . . “Ma!” (Laura) cried. “there IS a Santa Claus, isn’t there?”
“Of course there’s a Santa Claus, said Ma. She set the iron on the stove to heat again.
“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?”
