It is difficult to give questions without knowing what the arguments will be. You are probably familiar with the text of "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"? Read through the text and think about it in light of your debate and develop some questions from the sorts of arguments presented in that piece of writing.
Here are ten reasons to believe in Santa Claus ...
10. There is an official Santa Claus website.
9. In The Miracle on 34th Street, a judge said there was a Santa Claus, and as a lawyer and officer of the court, if a judge says its true, it’s true.
8. Every December, there is a suspicious labor shortage among the elves at the Keebler cookie factory.
7. Without Santa Claus bringing up the rear of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, a million New Yorkers along the parade route would not know when to go home.
6. Christmas Eve is the only night of the year parents can get their children to stay in their beds.
5. Two words: reindeer droppings.
4. There’s no evidence to support the rumor that Santa Claus is just a creation of Hallmark greeting cards and the makers of fruit cakes.
3. If there is no Santa Claus, then who has been sleeping with Mrs. Claus?
2. Because I really, really want a digital camera.
1. I ’m getting too old to keep passing up opportunities for joy.
These links may give you some ideas.

Santa Clause was actually a real person who was very very nice and gave presents to poor children around the holidays. He was not fat, but whatever. He doesn't live at the North Pole either, because someone went there, stuck a flag, and didn't see Santa (but maybe be Santa live underground or something). On the other hand Chirstmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, it was not supposed to be a time where everyone bought stuff and asked their parents for toys. Not that that isn't fun.
So, I believe in Santa a real person (his name was Nicholas, 'cept now he's dead), but I don't belive in him coming down the chimney (he looks to fat to fit in all the pictures, plus, what if there's a fire at the bottom? or if you don't have a chimney?)

definite i've got faith in Santa. I did while i replaced right into a newborn then i did not for an prolonged time. yet now i know there's a Santa. the real Santa got here to our abode one three hundred and sixty 5 days decrease than the effect of alcohol off his azz of course and knocked over a team of stuff and humped my sister. He borrowed $40 dollars from me because of the fact he reported his reindeer have been too decrease than the effect of alcohol to fly. He promised to deliver me the money and under no circumstances did. He had the nerve to return back a pair years later and ended up taking my sister with him. we've been to and fro in courtroom a lot of cases and albeit i'm ill of the completed mess. He can keep the money I basically choose my sister back.

lol.. a debate, im good at it. kinda. well say santa has been in history for decades. who came up with the idea and started the christmas spirit if there wasnt an actual person.
they would prolly ask where the elves and the santa's workshop are...lol...who knows and of course, proof.
backfire and say that myths stated those who dont believe in santa cant see him...or something. be creative. it doesnt have to be real.
im bored

There is Santa:Well in my house you don't get presents from Santa if you don't believe in him so that is a good reason to believe.
There has to be a Santa, who else could make it around the world in one night?
There has to be a Santa, my parents couldn't afford all the stuff I get for Christmas themselves.
There is a tracker for him on the internet, everything on the internet it accurate and true.
They track him on the news, everything on the news is accurate and true.
No Santa: There is no mention of Santa in the Bible.

Believing in Santa Clause keeps you young at heart. What else do you need to know?

If it was a perfect society.. YES. one should believe in Santa Claus.. but as I see it today and for many years now.. the situation here in the United States is geared ENTIRELY to money and how they can get money from people iln the name of Christmas.. That is why I have NO USE for Christmas here in the U.S. I enjoyed it very very much in Africa... in Hong Kong.... in other places in Asia but NOT in the United States where money has taken over Christmas and I want NOTHING to do with it.

Why has nobody ever seen him?
Why did my mother buy me presents?
Why did I see some lights in the sky?
Why were there footprints on the carpet?
