I've always believed in him because every Christmas I got presents from Santa. I'm pretty sure that it's not from my parents. Do u think he's real?

Yes and no... he is not currently a real person, but he was real once.
Saint Nicolas was a wealthy man who lived around the 13th century (NOT Jesus' time, really now), who, not having any children of his own, gave presents of food and goodies to the poor children in the nearby village at Christmas. He would toss the treats through the window or put them in their socks hung out to dry.
Today the symbol of this kind and generous man lives on in the form of Santa Claus. His spirit continues as long as people have fun celebrating in his name.

He is only real if you want him to be... :)
I think that he is supposed to be in our head only, the presents on the other hand are indeed from your parents.
Once upon a time, during Jesus' time, there's a story about an old man (Santa), that helped young children, and gave them presents. The rest is fantesy... ( And no, I know about the story NOT from Wikipedia)
So believe in what you know that will make you happy, thats what I do...

I guess it's time for you to grow up. That's a shame
Santa is not real sorry.
But don't tell your parents you know because they will stop buying you presents from Santa then.
Also, don't tell the kids at school because some of them will not know and it a lovely magical thing to believe in. They will find out in their own time.

Santa is NOT real. Your parents give you the presents. Why else would Santa get rich kids really expensive gifts and poor kids cheap ones?

No, he's not, I wish he was, but it isn't so. There's actually a whole story behind how the legend got started. Try wikipedia, that'll probably have the orgin of it all.
