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.

The short answer: God = Santa Claus.

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.

I can see your point. Indeed, most agnostics should admit that, ultimately, they are atheists.\n\nIf there is some agnostic around who doesn't agree on this, please explain us why you define yourself agnostic about God but not about Santa Claus.\n\nThe same goes for all the infinite things that you don't believe but cannot disprove ("right now there is a bottle of tequila orbiting around Pluto", "there must be an unicorn somewhere on Earth", "the person who is writing this (Flavio) is an intelligent computer", etc.)

I was pretty old, like 8 or 9 at the time. my friends parents came to pick him up, our parents ended up talking for a while. My parents had recently changed religions, much to my disappointment one that didn't celebrate Chistmas. At the time I thought it was all about getting presents. Anyway, we were going inside and they turned to us and asked us if we still beleived in Santa. I thought it was a trick question (cuz Santa was difinietly real for me). My friend without hesitation answered no. I stood there motionless and they laughed at me cuz they knew I did still believe in Santa. At the time I felt like shit but looking back I think I would have laughed at that 9 year old too.

Go to ebay for your best bet. No wasting gas, no lines, and the ability to choose from new to used Santas. Keep in mind the shipping charges would probably be approx. what you would be spending in gas money anyways searching.\nWhen my daughter said she did not believe in Santa anymore, I had to remind her that Santa is very much real, and is in her heart and for her never to be to old to be a Santa.

Yes I believe in Santa Claus. There was a fellow who went around doing good deeds for people named Saint Nicholas. He was became a Saint in one of the branch of the Christian Religions. He lived in Turkey during the 4th Century and he was best known for his good deed to a poor man who had three daughters all of them wanted to get married but the father had no money for a dowery for each of his daughters. So that none of them would become prostitutes, Nicholas as he was called at that time went to the man's house and through an open window placed money in each of the daughter's stockings. Hence the idea of putting gifts in one stockings. There is a shrine to him in Bari Italy. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of archers,children,prostitutes, lawyers and pharamacist plus a few other people in different trades. So yes there really is a Santa Clause and he wasn't made up by coke-a-cola.

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?

Probably 3-years-old and now I'm 14-years-old. I didn't believe in the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus even though my parents tried hard. I could never believe anyone could circle the world and back in one night to bring gifts or money. This Christmas, they will probably still tell me to go to sleep early so Santa Claus will come. My eyes will open about 1:06AM and I'll get at my gifts. I'm not knocking little kids from believing in them, but I just didn't.

No I think that is just being a hypocirte. Can't be a christian and tell your kids there is a Santa claus, tooth fairy, easter bunny etc at the same time.
