With my favorite quote from Miracle on 34th Street ( 1994 edition).
Kris Kringle: You think I’m a fraud, don’t you?
Dorey Walker: Fraud is a bit too strong of a word.
Kris Kringle: But you don’t believe in me.
Dorey Walker: I believe that Christmas is for children.
Kris Kringle: Well your daughter doesn’t believe in me, either.
Dorey Walker: I don’t think that there’s any harm in not believing in a figure that many do acknowledge to be a fiction.
Kris Kringle: Oh, but there is. I’m not just a whimsical figure who wears a charming suit and affects a jolly demeanor. You know, I… I… I’m a symbol. I’m a symbol of the human ability to be able to suppress the selfish and hateful tendencies that rule the major part of our lives. If… you can’t believe, if you can’t accept anything on faith, then you’re doomed for a life dominated by doubt.
