Yes, Laura, There Is a Santa Claus!

If you attend our performance of "A Little House Christmas", you might be shocked to hear the statement, "You are too old to believe in Santa Claus!"

Yes, it's true! Nellie Olsen does her best to ruin Laura Ingalls' Christmas by denying a belief that Laura holds dear.

Laura's resolve is shaken a bit, but she does a little investigation of her own. First, she talks to her Uncle George. Does he believe in Santa Claus? Why, of course he does. Then later, Mr. Edwards arrives on Christmas to share with the Ingalls sisters his tale of meeting St. Nick himself in town earlier Christmas morning.

By my reckoning, that is 1 against and 4 for Santa! Santa wins!

And, really, who are you going to believe? Nasty old Nellie Olsen or Laura Ingalls? I bet you know the answer to that question.
