Santa Claus is REAL. Just ask any child who wakes up to presents under their Christmas tree. Every parent is Santa Claus, regardless of how many presents they can afford to give their child(ren).
Ask the people in the soup kitchens and the shelters who have received presents from Santa Claus - this Santa Claus being the people who donate their time, money and presents to brighten the holidays for those who are less fortunate.
Continue on and ask the people who are sick if Santa Claus is real - they will tell you "yes", that their Doctor is Santa Claus, who has helped them.
You see, Santa Claus is real, alive and well.
Have a lovely rest of the evening. Happy Holidays.

Im very sorry to say this but he isn't real. He is only a fake version of Saint Nicholas who pasted away long, long ago. Saint Nicholas was a man who lived in a town. Saint Nicholas started bringing toys to houses. Santa Claus just is a rememberence of St. Nick so Santa Claus isn't real.
Sorry the truth can hurt but it is good to know

I feel so sorry for these non-believers.I too,was once a nonbeliever.When my kids were 3 and 7 we were flat broke.I was working part time and my husband was laid off.It broke our hearts when we told our kids there wasn't going to be a Christmas and we just knew Santa wouldn't find the house.Two days later when I came home from from my part time job my husband met me in the driveway crying.He said "someone was here and I swear he wears a red suit and black boots"After i got in the back porch there I seen wrapped gifts up to the ceiling!!!I could not believe my eyes.I did not find out till several months later where those gifts came from.I BELIEVE.I BELIEVE. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD SHOULD BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF SANTA'S SPIRIT!I do and I am 51 years old.

I don't know... I don't think I believe in anything I can't see, and I've never seen Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Leprechauns, God, angels, demons, ghosts, unicorns.....
so I guess I don't think any of those things are real.. however, there may be old myths and folklore about those characters and creatures which may be based on people or things which may have once existed... a long time ago???

What's "real"?
I think the spirit that is represented by Santa is very real. It is abundant and generous. It rewards good behavior.
There is not a physical Santa but there are spiritual ones everywhere on Christmas night.

unfortunately, logically he cannot be real. He'd be way too old by now because he's been around a long time, no? Remember those old coke commercials featuring santa claus a long time ago? yeah..no one can be the same age forever, hun!
BUT..his spirit is real. definately.. as long as you believe in his spirit the night before christmas, you'll always be a kid at heart.

For those who believe of course. He doesnt bless the ones who lost the magic of christmas. In fact, I came home the other day and found a hundred dollars on my coffee table. I think santa knew I was broke and so he visited early! Merry Christmas!
