I'm not sorry to say that the fat guy is actually your parents and that you should not go around believing there lies like that
you are really gullible aren't you

Santa is not real,
In the spirit of the Christmas season, I bring to you two intellectual arguments regarding the feasibility of Santa Claus' ability to deliver presents to all of the children in the world. First, I offer an argument from the traditional standpoint that proposes the that the notion is impossible.
There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world, however since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to just 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each.
However, we believe it is inadvisable for Christians to tell children lies about Santa Claus. Do you really want them to put their trust in a buffoon on the street corner who doesn't even know their name, let alone being totally unable to fulfill any wishes they may secretly tell him? Do you want them to think it's OK for strange men to visit them in the middle of the night? Why set yourself up to be exposed as a liar later by saying that Christmas is celebrating a man in a red and white costume. We call it Santamas.
This is not bah-humbug. It is helping your kids enjoy a lie-free Christmas, and protecting them from fears they do not need. It saddens us that even many church pastors can't see the morality problem they are creating by re-inforcing wrong information to children.
Can children separate fact from fiction?
Many Christian churches do not make a fuss of Christmas or Easter. This is because they celebrate Christ's resurrection every Sunday, and it is well known that Jesus Christ was not born on December 25. (See our article on the millennium for more information on this.) (the Bible says shepherds were watching their flocks by night, and this doesn't happen in the cold winter around Bethlehem in December).
Martin Luther, for example, replaced this bearer of gifts with the Christ Child, or, in German, Christkindl. Over the years, that became repronounced Kriss Kringle, and ironically is now considered another name for Santa Claus.

Santa is not real....He is a figment of your imagination...Sorry you had to hear it here first....No fat man living at the north pole with dwarfs...no flying sleigh...if you leave cookies out that is your parents eating the cookies and leaving the note...check around the house the week of xmas they try to hid presents underneath their beds or in their closets....just believe in jesus christ because he is the reason for the season......
