Is there a real Santa Claus?

Answer 1

If you want to believe that there is a Santa Claus then there is but, to my belief there is no Santa Claus because I left cookies and milk and when I woke up on Christmas Morning they were still on the living room table. There is no chimney in our house. And when I was 10 my mom took me with her and made me stand outside of the salvation Army and went to pick out well treated toys the bag was see-threough and I could every toy in it. And when we got home when I went to bed she put them under the tree. And when I woke the same toys were there!!!!!! GO FIGURE!!!

Answer 2

Santa Clause was firstly dicovered in 1780 in the highlands of Sweden where this man called Claus, a rich widow, made children happy with candy and toys. He kept doing that untill he was arrested for child molesting. At that time human rights weren't that developped in Sweden (you can compare it with the situation in the USA anno 2006). So he was a victim of police brutality. Poor Claus was beaten to death. That's when he became Santa (which is swedish for Saint).

Answer 3

Yes, but he died many many centuries ago.

The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.

Answer 4

Sorry, but there's not a real Santa to talk to or to give a hug. But you can always pretend around the holidays and it makes everything seem all that more magical. Its even more fun if there's little children around who still believe. I still say gifts are from Santa and I'm almost 50!

Answer 5

Ho-Ho-Ho ;)



Saint Nicholas was born in the Middle East about 350 miles northwest of Bethlehem in the fourth century. He grew up to become the bishop of Myra (now Kale), his hometown, Lycia, near the coast of what is now Turkey. Legends tell of his love for children, his kindness and the miracles he brought about.

Perhaps the most famous story of all tells how he helped three unfortunate young sisters who all had suitors but had no dowries because their father, a poor nobleman, could not raise the money. So they could not marry.

Now the bishop Nicholas was a shy man and did not like to give money directly , so he thought of a way to give it anonymously. When the first daughter was ready to marry, the good bishop tossed a bag of gold into the house at night. Later, when the second daughter prepared to marry, she too received a mysterious bag of gold. When the third daughter prepared to marry, the poor nobleman was determined to find out who had been so generous. So he kept watch and saw the bishop drop another bag of gold into the house. It has been said that Saint Nicholas climbed on the roof and dropped the third bag of gold down the chimney where it landed in a stocking hung to dry, giving us a reason to hang up Christmas stockings today. When the father saw what had happened, Nicholas begged him to keep the secret, but, of course, the news got out. From then on, whenever anyone received an unexpected gift, they thanked Nicholas.

Six hundred years later, the Russian Emperor Vladimir visited Constantinople and heard all the wonderful stories about Bishop Nicholas and decided to make him the patron saint of Russia. The stories even spread to the Laplands - to the people of the reindeer sleds.

The three bags of gold Nicholas gave the sisters made him the focus of merchants in northern Italy. Statutes and pictures had shown him holding the three bags and when taken as the patron saint of the merchants, the bags became gold balls, representing money lenders and today, pawnbrokers.

The anniversary of Nicholas' death, December 6th, either 345 A.D. or 352 A.D., is so close to Christmas that, in many countries, the two merged. But in Germany and the Netherlands, the two remain separate.

Answer 6

there was one real Santa 100 years ago
he was an ordinary man and every Christmas he sent things needed for people...he just wanted to help them...
no one ever knew who was sending these presents until one day a man decided not to sleep and supervise his home's door and he knew him
actually i don't remember the name of this man
and finally when he died the people of his town decided to bring presents to the other coz they knew that Christmas wasn't just the anniversary of Jesus but the fact of helping others and then other towns began to do the same thing until the hall world knew and they made children believe in Santa Claus by telling them that there is a man named Santa who comes every Christmas and bring presents in front of the Christmas tree only for good children....
SO PLEASE AFTER READING THIS HALL STORY CHOOSE MY answer AS THE BEST

Answer 7

Are you 5?

Answer 8

There once was- in Germany he started. His name was Chris Crinkle, and would actually go around and give presents to boys and girls, sometimes putting them down the chimmney around Christmas (he knew that giving was a reward in itself)- I believe he was Catholic. However, there is no Santa Clause that knows everything, and is everywhere giving presents to kids all over the world today. THere are lots of peaple dressed us like him, and have pretend movie's about him. The idea of Santa is lots of fun I must say.
