if santa isnt real?

Question

if he isnt real, then where do the gifts come from????????? im almost 36 and still believe in st. nick.
if you dont believe, then return every gift you recieve and bah-humdung or whatever it is.
the day santa doesnt exist is a sad day indeed. my children know the day they dont believe in santa is the day we had our last christmas. santa is all of us, the spirit of sharing and caring and a few kisses and hugs and surprises and oh yeah, lots of cookies and food.
ive gotten the same thing for x-mas for yrs. just my kids smiling and checking out all the new gifts they've recieved. those smiles are worth atleast the universe for each one. I have taken mental snapshots of every1, including the 1 with the tricycle(dont ask)
who dont believe in good old santa just he dont use reindeer,he uses other means these days.

Answer 1

YOU GO GIRL!!!! You lead this crusade and I'll be right behind you beating the drum. Santa lives in each of us. *

Answer 2

Sorry but that's pretty sad....you're 36 and you stil believe in santa. there is supposed to be a time in your life when that sort of stuff should just stop. santa is just like the eater bunny and the tooth fairy. it's pretty much for kids. i stop beliving in santa when i was 12. and you're 36. man you really need to like grow up! sorry. and the presents come from your mom and dad....i don't know who's still giving you your presents but they should probablly stop because it's really not healthy!

Answer 3

St. Nicholas and santa are both same person, its just the difference in their name, i agree that santa who comes down thru the chimney and sneaking up gifts are just a concept that people made up to please the lil' children, well, it can be a sweet lil lie to the kids but sooner o later when they grow they will have to know the truth.... besides, christmas wouldnt be christmas if Jesus hadnt come down to earth...it'll be better if your kids know the true meaning of Christmas besides just gifts and santa...merry christmas!

Answer 4

... are you on crack...? It's called COMMERCIALIZED for a reason, lady. If you want to believe in Santa, whatever. Overweight chubs never hurt anyone, so I don't care, but woooow.... to think that there are people who still believe in the whole "joy of the seasons," "giving, not receiving," "family tradition" BS. *rolls eyes* It's merely a celebration for the people who have gotten through another year in hell. Woot! Presents! Commercialmas sure does rock, but not for any of the reasons you listed.

Answer 5

-No I did not write this-

No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn’t (appear) to handle Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total — 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that is 91.9 million homes. One presumes there’s at least one good child in each.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75½ million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.
This means that Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest manmade vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second — a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN times their normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload — not even counting the weight of the sleigh — to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison — this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance — this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer with absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
