1897 - The "New York Sun" ran its famous editorial that declared, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."

This is the best I need to find this article and share it!



1915 - Stonehenge was sold by auction for 6,600 pounds sterling to a Mr. Chubb, who bought it as a present for his wife. Three years later he gave it back to Britain.

Okay so this is just weird to me. Who could sell Stonehenge? I wanna know who he bought it from? Any body know?
