Growing up, I began to doubt whether or not he was real also. My parents told me that if I stopped believing he’d stop coming! To this day – and I’m 34 now, I still believe in Santa!

Well I’m 50 and I certainly still have faith that Santa exists. He is in the spirit of all come Christmas and those who don’t believe well too bad for them. Stay young as long as you can.

Answer by St. Toad
Santa is based upon the ancient Nordic/Germanic god, Odin. Odin was the King of Winter, went on the Wild Hunt which is kinda like flying through the night sky, and parents would threaten children to behave or He wouldn’t give them gifts. He’s not real, in a physical sense.

Honey Santa is as real as you want him to be. Don’t stop believing and don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Trust your heart.

Answer by iamlsu
Santa is as real as you want him to be. To me he is real enough to make my children smile.The look of joy in my children’s eyes on Christmas morning is enough for me to believe.

I’m sorry, but I can’t lie to you.

“Santa Claus” is a mangling of the name “Saint Nicholaus”, a Catholic saint in the 4th century. As one story goes, a man lived with his daughters, but was very poor. The only thing left for him to do, to help his family survive, was to put his daughters into a life of sorrow and pain for the service of others (so to speak). But, as chance happens, Nicholaus was walking about and found out about this, and snuck in the house in the middle of the night, and left enough money so no harm would befall the family.

As time went by, the story of Saint Nicholaus grew, and he became more well known. In time, however, his stories got mixed in with the stories of pagan gods, demons, Satan, and Jesus, all in one.

There is no Santa Claus.

It is better to put your hopes in Jesus Christ… the one who is real, and will never let you down.

The best gift in the whole wide world isn’t something “Santa” can magically bring you in his bag… it is something Jesus bought for *you* on the cross… eternal life.

Answer by deb2rule
there is no thing as santa. i stopped believing in him when i was ten. hate to ruin it for you but your parents buy you presents. i recognized my mom’s writing by the i was ten so that’s when i stopped believing in santa.
as for the book i have no idea. there really was a story about st. nick where he would go secretly to kids houses on the other side of the world(and not the north pole)and give kids candy. no one knew who was doing that, but there really is no santa.
oh and by the way,the santas you see in the malls are people dressed as santa.

Answer by sylvia
I remember reading this when I was in school, and I’ve always loved it, so I looked it up and pasted it here. It’s long, I know, but it’s beautiful.

Editorial Page, New York Sun, 1897

I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon

Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical 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, Virginia, 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, Virginia, 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 Virginias. 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 external 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 you 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 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, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus?Thank God he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Answer by Dakotarose
There was a man at one point in history that went by a name either similar or actually meaning that!! I was about your age when i stopped believing in Santa and it took another two years for me to tell everyone else!!! I had some younger cousins and didn’t want to ruin it for them plus my mom told me that if i ever stopped believing that i wouldn’t get presents anymore!!!! I knew at your age that the stories of a large man with a beard flying around the world in 24hrs and giving all the good girls and boys presents was a lie the whole time!!

Answer by HYDE & AJ
SANTIE CLAUSE BEGAN AS A REAL PERSON A LONG TIME AGO. PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE IN SANTIE CLAUSE AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR, I JUST DON’T MIX HIM UP WITH MY FAITH AND RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. I ALWAYS TOLD MY DAUGHTER HE IS ALIVE AND WELL AND IS IN OUR HEARTS WHEN WE GIVE GIFTS OR HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED. THAT MAKES US ALL SANTIE CLAUSE.

THE COOL THING FOR ME IS THAT I WORK WITH SANTIE CLAUSE AND ACTUALLY HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER… HA! I TAKE PHOTOS OF KIDS SITTING WITH HIM ON HIS LAP TELLING HIM WHAT THEY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS! HOW COOL IS THAT, I LOVE IT!

DON’T BE IN A HURRY TO GROW UP AND LOSE YOUR CHILDHOOD TOO QUICKLY. TRY TO BE GOOD BUT ENJOY IT!!
