Yes I do.
Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
There is no proof that he doesn't exist.

A firm no. I've found out about the origin of the Santa Clause legend, and decided that it's all just another historical figure twisted by the media to make money.
But I do love Christmas, none the less.

Santa alive and well today, not really. But he is based on an ancient European past.
Read the book:
When Santa was a Shaman.
The ancient origins of Santa Claus & the Christmas Tree.
By Tony van Renterghem
p.s. But I do believe in the spirit of the Holiday. Merry Christmas!!

There always used to be that small hope inside me that Santa Clause was real. Deep inside i knew he was fictional, but my parents and aunts and uncles tried to convince that he was real. My aunt one time told me that if you go to santaclause.com(not sure if that is the website, it has been over 7 years) and write down what you want for chirstmas, you will get it. I wished for a Nintendo 64 and Super smash brothers. A couple years later i got a gamecube and Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Close enough. Anyway, i think i found out that he was not real when i went down for a glass of water, and there were the adults wrapping up presents to put by the tree.

No, that stopped at 10 yrs. old. I was tired of being told that there was a Santa Claus and everyone being so suspicious after they said it. I decided that year to find out for myself. I didn't have a chimney; I knew he would have to come through the front door. I got up a little before 12 midnight, sat in full view in the dark, and waited until between approximately 2-3 AM. No person. Mother caught me, asked me what I was doing, and asked me to get back in bed. Mystery solved. I was a little disappointed--I always wanted to leave something out for him when he came. Even at that young age, common sense said to wait until I found out the truth.

No, and my children don't either. I never introduced them to him. To me, Christmas was miserable when I found out he wasn't real. My husband, when he found out, asked his parents, "If Santa Claus was just a lie, is Jesus a lie too?" I don't want my children to feel that way. We still have a blast at Christmas. We still read the stories of Santa Claus and Rudolph and all that, my kids just have always known that it's just a fun story. However, Christmas in our house is truly celebrated as it is supposed to be celebrated, as Jesus' birthday. (Yes, I also know it's not the exact date he was born.)

No; if I accept the fact Santa is real, I then have to accept the fact that every other character humans conjure up to worship or celebrate holidays with is real too!
