Yes, Santa Claus still exist for those of us that have not gotten so caught up in all of the crap and life experiences.  I feel that part of the problem with the world to day is that we have forgotten how to play and have fun and we have forgotten how to use our imagination.  Life should not be all about working and paying bills, learn to have fun and live life to the fullest for you never know when you time is up.\n\nLife is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming…\n \n“WOW – What a Ride!!!”

I had never thought of this, but now that you bring it up I think there's a good possibilty. Superman goes arounf saving "good" guys and fighting "bad" guys, just like Santa judges if people are "naughty" or "nice." Since they both have this superhuman powers, they think they have the right to judge people and go on power trips. Like you say they both fly, although Santa uses reindeer and a sleigh, but they both also have a fondness of the red suit and how else could Santa vistit all those houses in one night, if he were not in fact "faster than a speeding bullet?" They are both apparently fireproof and like the cold. Santa lives a t North Pole and Superman's Fortress of Solitude is in Antartica.

I'll give you £1 if you can give me proof that he is the real Santa.  When I saw him last year I whispered something very special in his ear.  If you can tell me what it was I will pay up the cash - otherwise you can keep him because he is not real.

Why do you believe so many people hate your god?  Or does not believing in him = hating him?  Because I love Santa Claus (ok, so he bribes me with presents), but I don't believe in him.  Even you say you've never come into contact with a person who hates the lord.  So where are you getting the idea that there are all these haters out there?

Used to work for a charity that regularly sent kids to Lapland.  \n\nHaving regularly had to deal with the elves in his press office, I can assure any children reading this that Santa is very definitely real.

I'm really not sure on that one!  I don't think he should be though!  If we can't celebrate the birth of Jesus or have God in school then why should santa be allowed there?

All Myths have a basis in fact. So although we teach children about a mythical person known as Santa Claus, he was in fact a real person. \n\nSaint Nickilaus (Santa Claus) was a Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th century. He was known for leaving small gifts for children during the Christmas Celebration. He would ask the childrens parents during the year whether they were good children or bad children. \n\nHanging of stockings from a fireplace had it's origins at the same time as Saint Nick. Children would put thier shoes on the front porch and Bishop Nickilaus would but the gifts or coal in thier shoes. \n\nSo you see when we are talking about Santa Klaus to children, we are not really lying to them. We are teaching them that it is ok to believe.

Of course he exists. Everyone knows this in their heart. They just lie about it because they are evil. I also agree that Santa is the Easter Bunny's disciple. \nWe have all the evidence on our side: If there is no Santa, why is it freezing at the North Pole? If there is no Santa, where do all the presents come from? Most people believe in Santa and there are lots of songs and books about him, so he must be real. \nI think that Santa skeptics close their hearts and minds to the evidence that makes it obvious that HE is with us. They will be sorry when we are opening our presents and they get nasty lumps of coal.\n\n'The fool says in his heart, There is no Santa'

Santa Claus was an invention of the Coca-Cola company to sell their carbonated cocaine-based sugar water. Originally, he wore a green suit, but that was changed to red to attract more attention.\nOther Christmas icons, like Father Christmas, Saint Nicolas, and the like are based on real persons, but are highly fictionalized. \nSo, Virginia, take your choise. You can see Santa as an Americanization of European myth based on real persons or as a total figment of American marketing.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folk hero in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, traditionally on Christmas Eve. Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas, but refers to Santa Claus.\n\nFather Christmas is a well-loved figure in the United Kingdom and similar in many ways, though the two have quite different origins. Santa Claus is used interchangeably with the Father Christmas name, both understood to be the same person, with Father Christmas used as more of a formal name for the Santa Claus character. Father Christmas is present instead of "Santa" also in Italy ("Babbo Natale"), Brazil ("Papai Noel"), Portugal ("Pai Natal"), Romania ("Moş Crăciun"), Germany ("Weihnachtsmann"), France and French-speaking Canada ("Le Père Noël") and South Africa.\n\nSanta is a variant of a European folk tale based on the historical figure Saint Nicholas, a bishop from present-day Turkey, who gave presents to the poor. This inspired the mythical figure of Sinterklaas, the subject of a major celebration in the Netherlands and Belgium (where his alleged birthday is celebrated), which in turn inspired both the myth and the name of Santa Claus.\n\nHe forms an important part of the Christmas tradition throughout the Western world as well as in Latin America and Japan and other parts of East Asia.\n\nIn many Eastern Orthodox traditions, Santa Claus visits children on New Year's Day and is identified with Saint Basil whose memory is celebrated on that day.\n\nDepictions of Santa Claus also have a close relationship with the Russian character of Ded Moroz ("Grandfather Frost"). He delivers presents to children and has a red coat, fur boots and long white beard. Much of the iconography of Santa Claus could be seen to derive from Russian traditions of Ded Moroz, particularly transmitted into western European culture through his German folklore equivalent, Väterchen Frost.\n\n \nThe Russian Ded Moroz.Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard. On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace. During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys. Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world. His home is usually given as either the North Pole in the United States (Alaska), northern Canada, Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland, Dalecarlia in Sweden, or Greenland, depending on the tradition and country. Sometimes Santa's home is in Caesarea when he is identified as Saint Basil.\n\nSince most activities associated with Santa Claus are extraordinary, such as delivering presents to all of the believing children in one night, keeping track of where every believing child lives, how he squeezes down chimneys, how he enters homes without chimneys, why he never dies, how he makes reindeer fly, and how he survives in the cold at the North Pole, "magic" is usually used to explain his actions.

Santa is real.  He is real in your heart along with the Christmas spirit.  If you believe, then he is real.\n\nYou may not see him, but can you see love?

No scientific proof for Santa Claus (except for NORAD, maybe), contested or otherwise. A large body of contested data proving aliens' and God's existence, and some evidence claiming that God is an alien!\n\n"Believing" there must be a planet out there that can support alien life is not evidence, folks. It's blind faith. Not saying there isn't one, just that no one can say there is yet. And you people pick on religious believers for not having any proof...
