Santa Clause, well known also as St. Nicholas, lived over 500 years ago. He grew up in a very poor town and he saw all the little chlidren so sad because of what their government was doing to them. So, one day he decided he needed to cheer these children up. He went around his town, tossing coins into the children's stockings while they were hanging to dry, and while the kids were asleep. He also went through the windows and put small toys near their fireplaces. The gorvenment found out about this and were not pleased. They had all the citizens lock all their windows and doors. But St. Nick did not give up. He tried the chimenys, which worked quite well. He contienued doing this for quite a while, and his whole town remembered him when he died of an old age.
You see, the character of Santa Clause isn't entirely fake. He lived many years ago and his spirit is the thing that gives you that fuzzy feeling when you wake up on Christmas Day. Although there is not a man wearing a red suit with a sleigh and a huge bag of presents, plus eight (or nine) reindeer guiding his sleigh, he lives on through your heart, and he gives your parents the privilege of putting presents under your Christmas Tree. And lets not forget the 2 true meanings of Christmas: One, Christ was born that day, and two, you get to spend more time with your family and friends. So focus on having a very Merry Christmas with everyone you love, and just know that even though Santa isn't copporeal, that doesn't mean he isn't real.
Merry Christmas!

Sorry to ruin anyones Christmas, but the real/original Santa Clause actually died a few hundred years ago in Paraguay, so legend has it
He has been replaced by several other Santa's to take his place, so in some aspects he still is real, his home land being Kattila, a settelment in Lapland

There's a retired US Navy Commander F-14 (Viet Nam vet) pilot in our church who looks just like Santa is supposed to look. One of the little girls asked me, "Mr. Ed, is that SANTA?" I told her, "No, that's his little brother."
