Parent's teach there kid's that lying isnt good. so then why do parent's lie to us.. if santa isnt real then why do parents go so far as to make there kids believe in sanata. insted of putting from santa just put from mom&dad. Don't they know that it can affect children? ever since they were little ther eparents were telling them about santa and the reinders and even going as far as to help us put milk, carrots and cookies on a plate for "santa". Well then the kid grows up and has tons of kids telling them that snata isnt real. What? we turn a certain age and were just suposed to know that santa's make believe? does anyone see hwow this can affect kids? So is he real or not?! Im tired of hearing one things from the kids in my class and another from my parents.. and if he isnt why do parents even tell there kids about santa anyways?!

Santa is absolutely real. What are you talking about? Do you want coal in your stocking? Check out: www.noradsanta.com

The spirit of Santa is very real.
Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a gift-giving person, based on the historical Saint Nicholas, who distributes presents to sleeping children and adults who have been "good" all year and coal to those who have been "bad" all year; traditionally during the night of December 24, Christmas Eve. Santa Claus is an eminent character in the hearts and minds of millions of children and adults around the world who believe in him. The popular American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of Dutch Sinterklaas, which is a contracted form of Sint Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas).
Father Christmas is a well-loved figure in many countries and predates the Santa Claus character. Father Christmas is similar in many ways, though the two have quite different origins. Using 'Santa' in places that predominantly call him Father Christmas may be viewed as an Americanism, although they are generally nowadays regarded as the same character. Santa Claus is inexorably tied to Christmas in American culture, but in some cultures, he is not associated with Christmas at all, arriving on a different day (for instance December 6th, St. Nicholas' day) while baby Jesus brings presents on Christmas eve.

Its supposed to be a FUN lie. Think of all the fun you had in your past Christmas': Waking up your parents at 4 in the morning, finding all the cookies and milk are gone, seeing the presents under the tree with tags that say 'from santa'.

Yes, Santa is alive and well.....Santa is the Giving Soul....the unconditional love.....The purest of pure....if you fail to believe in Santa, you need to seek out and see who you can be SANTA to...Be a true Santa....and thus it will never be a lie...

Twice you have spelled it "anwser". I'm not certain I think that you're looking for the scholar's truth.

he is not real. I don't understand why some parents do this their kids. My parent made us believe they were the santa clause.
