Santa Claus is based on a real St. Nicholas from Turkey. Santa Claus is the Dutch pronunciation. However, most of the stories about him are mythological. Kind of like King Arthur.

I personally do not believe Santa Clause to be real. I believe that myth started a long time ago, probably someone in a town going around delivering gifts to needy children or something to that nature and over time as everything else, it was made into something world known. But does not mean it's true. Santa Clause is within each person, one who chooses to give presents or gifts at Christmas time. Not someone who lives at the North Pole and travels all over the world with reindeer's and a sled.

He is very real, their was a man named Saint Nicholas that is still alive in are hearts today but he died in reality and his way became others in his family of course that means people who had ancestors in the time of Saint Nicholas might just be the next Santa Claus because they are in relation with him blood wise.
HO! HO! HO! 279 day till you wake up on Christmas morning

santa claus is a real man, but he did not go all around the world over night. i believe that he was in poland and the children would put out their wooden shoes and at night a st. nicholas would come buy and put gifts in their shoes. i guess the story spread and people twisted it into what we all go through once a year.

actually there was a st. nick a long time ago who would give toys to orphans he didn't travel the world but as time went on his story grew and grew and soon enough Santa was born, but if you think about it aren't we all Santa clause at some point or another, don't we give gifts and even to other countries? so yes he is real

Umm really , i think hes a myth. The person he's based on (St. Nicholas) is really but Santa Clause is not. It think you should know that by now.

Sure is real. Nicholas was actually a bishop and when he learned that a man who could not afford dowry for his 3 daughters to marry, was going to put them in prostitution, he secretly threw a sack of money in a window and the father used it to marry his daughter off. This happened 2 more times and the father caught the bishop doing this and thanked him.

There really was a man named St.Nicholas but he died. He was a toymaker and use to share the toys he made,out to the children in his village at Christmas time. It then became traditional that parents will act as Santa Clause and give their kids presents saying it came for him and filling their stockings to.

I think there was a man named saint nicholas, the deal is that he was soo nice that we would deliver preents to many poor children, and wen he died everything was over. They couldnot tell the kids that he had died so they invented that santa clause stuff, the raindeers and the north pole and the elf thinggy.. it was all for the poor kids saint nick left.
