St. Nicholas is real if you're a believer.

No sweetie, he isn't. Although the idea of Santa Claus was originally based upon the figure of Saint Nicholas, a Catholic patron saint of children, he just isn't real.
As kids, some of us were taught to believe that he exists by our parents or other grown-ups. I honestly think it's cruel to lie to kids about it. You can’t encourage the belief without dishonesty, and in order to get kids to believe in Santa Claus, it’s not enough to commit a couple of simple lies and move on. As with any lie, it’s necessary to construct more and more elaborate lies and defenses as time passes.

santa claus was a rich man who used to help the poor people , he used to drop money & stuff by their doors , wearing a custom so that noone knows who he was , he was old with white beard ,he wore red clothes ... one day santa died ,& the money stopped to reach those people since the day he dies ,,, that's how they knew it was santa who helped them all this time ,,,,
santa isnt a holly thing guys , it's the thought of helping the poor without hurting thier feelings , that's it ..

No. he's in basic terms exciting stuff of childhood, alongside with gods, speaking snakes, floating male Jewish zombies, parting seas, easter bunnies, the tooth fairies, backyard gnomes, etc. We provide those up while we grow to be adults.

Yes and No... he's taking the real meaning of Christmas from Jesus plan of salvation by comercializing it.
