Nobody over the age of 6 believes in Santa Clause. It's just a nice story for kids.

There is plenty of video and film footage of Santa, but I think the main reason people believe in him is because they want to. Believing thus pleases both them and their loved ones.
I am not sure whether it is good or bad to believe in Santa, or to promote belief in him. Perhaps it is value-neutral.
When a child claims not to believe in Santa any more, they have probably reached a new developmental stage; the same goes for an adult who newly claims to believe.

When one says that he/she believes in Santa Claus...and that person is an adult...it usually means that there is a belief in the magic of childhood combined with the emotion surrounding Christmas. Children believe because they are innocent and parents want their children to have faith and hope in someone who is that loving that he would give to all the children of the world..just because he can. Adults "believe" because we all need to have faith in an ultimate type of kindness and giving that is represented by the concept of "Santa." Merry Christmas!

I don't even know Santa's a "it." Telling you Santa was real, because he was Saint Nicholas, a Christian who had always given gifts to kids, but he is dead now
