Santa Claus is very real and exists year round; not only in the jolly white bearded old man but in the person who does a kindness for no reason or someone else who gives of themself for no other reason. Santa's everywheres. Blessings.

No but there is a guy living in Lapland who plays Santa claus and the story comes from their culture
he was not a saint ,that was invented by Americans,his northern name was the Christmas man(kerstman)
Santa Claus comes from Laplander tradition,
they used to follow the raindeer ,that ate the Amanita Muscara (mushroom of death),and caught the golden urine into a bowel ,
this they drank and they got very high
the drug at first gives the sensation of evaporation of the body leaving the head to the last .and people thought that they could fly ,and many ended up in the chimney trying to get to the roof.
this is why Santa comes down the chiney and has flying raindeer .
the drug cult was turned into folklore and adopted by the Christians ,to entice the pagans into Christianity.
All Christian Holidays ,originally were Pagan,
like the first of May(Easter) Halloween and Thanks giving ,as well as Christmas.
Saint Nicolaas was a Spanish Bishop who comes on the 5th of December,whose story was based on a Turkish bishop who was kind to the poor ,this was such a rare thing ,that he was rembered for ever.
he had two black slaves ,who gave sweets to the good kids ,and beat the bad ones with twiggs,And he sat on a White Spanish Horse
.
He had Nothing to do with Santa Claus as some People suggest.
Saint Nicolaas would not dream of coming down the chiney and he wore a miter and a long robe ,Santa claus was wearing Artic clothes and comes on the 24th of december,they are coincidentally both red .

Maybe. Maybe not.
He might of been a real person years ago, or he could just be a myth.
My friends always ask me 'Do you believe in Santa Claus?' I always say yes because he's a jolly old man with a kind heart (as they say...).
As a person said before... He lives in out heart. ;p

Of course. Just like lots of other people who exist on a non-material plane, he can be portrayed by a variety of people, even many people at one time. But he's real, all right: the Spirit of Christmas, of generosity and good will to all. Real, but not material.
