Of course he's real!!! Keep your eyes peeled, and you might get to see him in the shopping malls. You will recognise him, he is a fat, jolly, old man with white whiskers and beard, and he always wears a red suit with a black belt and boots. Sometimes he is carrying a rather large sack with him.
Proof? If it's proof you want, I can email a photo of him to you.
That should've cleared that up for you, so go and have a merry Christmas.

LiLi, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, LiLi, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, LiLi, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no LiLi's. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, LiLi, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Of course he's real! It's just that he has something like 100,000 helpers (other Santa Clauses, each with their own sleighs and reindeer) to do the work.
But, enjoy it while you can. You see, in a few years, due to global warming, Santa Claus' home and warehouse will fall into the Arctic Ocean, due to the polar ice cap melting.

Santa isn't real. If he were real i.e. material human being like the rest of us, and he had to visit every household in the world on Chrismas eve and spend there at least 1 minute he'd have to fly at the speed that's unnataineable. If he were to fly with the speed of a military jet, he'd take several months (let me recalculate to be sure) to visit every household.
But wait.. he is real... because somehow you get unexpected presents that really warm your heart. Sometimes your wishes come true in the most unbelievable ways. Maybe he is real after all.

Santa Claus is very real in the hearts of those who give freely to help people who are going through tough times. We are all capable of becoming Santa Claus and giving from our hearts.

Haven't you seen him in the malls?
Santa is the spirit of giving. He is in the heart of everyone who believes in him.
I think the conductor said that in the movie "The Polar Express".

You don't need to ask questions like this. It takes the magic out of Christmas. No one knows so don't listen to people saying he isn't real.
