I am 31 years, and I see Santa every Christmas. I volunteer and help take him around to see all the kids in my town. Do I believe in the man? no....Do I believe in the idea of what he means to little kids? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sit inside a mall and watch the children when they appoach Santa for awhile. Of course, the adults know the real deal. But Santa Claus means something to the tots. That makes him very real.

I beleive in Santa Claus...
St. Nickolas did exist..
Of course Santa is long since dead...but the spirit of Santa, the giving, the being nice to one another if only for a day, still exists. We also celebrate the birth of Jesus on that day, he of course gave the ultimate gift.
So yes, I beleive in Santa Claus, not saying the person is still alive today, but the feeling should be kept alive.
That I have taught my son.

Funny how life works. At age 5, I believed in Santa clause without question. At age 10, I stopped believing. Now at age 31, I have two kids, and I am Santa Clause.

LOL!!! Where do you think all the elves up at the North Pole come from? Santa Claus must be doing Mrs. Claus!!! I swear I saw it on TV and I believe everything on TV. Oh, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny too.

I don't just believe in Santa, I know he exists. When I was a tiny tot I woke up on Christmas Eve and saw Santa at the tree. I know it was santa cause when I went to tell my folks they were both in bed asleep. I am 54 years old and I still believe in him. In my heart there is a Santa.

I know that Santa the man does not exist. But, I do believe in the spirit of Santa. Meaning, I believe in giving gifts without expecting one in return. I believe in family gathering "just because", not just special occasions.

Of course I believe in Santa Claus. Only as adults we refer to him as the Spirit of Christmas or the Spirit of Giving. :)

I can't, not anymore. I was stripped of that innocence long ago and I can't get Santa Claus back. Santa Claus is dead to me.
