Mothers across America overwhelmingly support teaching children to believe in Santa Claus according to a leading women's magazine poll. More than 87 percent answered yes, valuing Santa as a symbol of giving and childhood magic despite moving toward reality postwar.
An older St Nicholas recalls Asia Minor origins and dowries while Santa explains Santa tradition growth in America. He notes Washington Irving 1809 sleigh idea, Nast red suit, and Moore's 1822 poem linking the myth to modern Christmas. The scene ends with a playful image of forgotten birch rods and a snowfall.
