Yes, there is a Santa Claus. There's a "Santa Claus" within people all over the world. In this case, she's a four-year-old girl from England.

Like a lot of kids, Pippa Jackson is already thinking about Christmas. So much so that she had a bad dream about some children having no gifts to open on December 25th. That nightmare put Pippa into action. The preschooler is now putting together Christmas care packages for kids in need.

Fox News reports that Pippa has set a goal to put together 200 care packages for kids who might not otherwise get presents. Each care package is filled with a gift, colored pencils, stocking stuffers, and a hat, scarf and gloves to keep them warm. Pippa's mom, Kadie, is helping her reach hit the 200 mark. They’re making and selling Christmas decorations, as well as taking donations, to raise money for the presents.

"She's very kind hearted, she has a golden heart," Kadie says of Pippa. "She wants to help anyone in need, we're going to go to some women's shelters, orphanages, that sort of thing — anywhere we can to find children to help."

Yes, there is a Santa Claus. Lots of them, in fact.
