Alot of elves work for Santa, how else are these toys made?\nThey dont want paid, just a HAPPY INVIROMENT WORK PLACE TO WORK. These eleves have no gender, so they all look basically the same. They get dressed the same way, and eat and drink like we do. The only thing different about them compared to us, they know who the REAL Santa is.

Well , it got an answer. In the middle ages there was a catholic bishop whose name was Nicholas. This good man had the habit of giving gifts to poor kids and families. when he died , supposedly he was canonized , therefore called ST.Nicholas. that is where the legend of Santa Claus came from.

I think Santa is the Grand Master and he's doing the Grand Master sex ceremony thing with the Tooth Fairy.  so he's cool with her and will accept her repentance any day of the week.

Santa Claus will always exist-if there are children to believe in him.\n\nSanta is about the spirit of goodwill-not an actual person.

Of course Santa is real.  He is Nicholas.  Sure he's past on, but his spirit still continues, and there is no reason to forget a good man who gave children hope all those years ago.  He still gives out just as much hope today. Don't let a good thing get wasted just for the sake of "reality".  Dare to dream a little and enloy the faith of a child.

Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kriss Kringle, Santy, or simply Santa is a giving figure in various cultures who distributes presents 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 many countries and predates the "Santa Claus" character. Many little children are led to believe that Santa Claus is real and he is "in spirit". "Father Christmas" is similar in many ways, though the two have quite different origins. Using 'Santa' in places that predominantly call him 'Father Christmas' is often viewed as an Americanism and is quite rare, although they are generally regarded as the same character. Father Christmas is also present instead of "Santa" in Armenia ("Gaghant Baba"), Denmark ("Julemanden"), Italy ("Babbo Natale"), Brazil ("Papai Noel"), Czech Republic ("Ježíšek"), Portugal ("Pai Natal"), Romania ("Moş Crăciun"), Germany ("Weihnachtsmann" or "Nikolaus"), Ireland & Scottish Highlands ("Daidí na Nollag"), France and French Canada ("Le Père Noël"), Spain and Mexico ("Papá Noel"), Afghanistan ("Baba Chaghaloo"), Iraq and South Africa ("Goosaleh").

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.

Yes. Santa is real, if you believe in him! I think the world would be a much better place if people quit trying to destroy other peoples' happy illusions.

Other people are trying to confuse you with their answers.  There is no Santa Claus.  No one lives at the north pole.  There is no such thing as flying reindeer or elves.  No one is watching you all the time deciding if you are good enough to get presents.  Presents under your tree from Santa are actually put there by your parents because getting those presents is part of the fun of Christmas.

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 how some would think that, yes. But Santa Claus is just made up and fictional, and its not like anyone worships him  or anything. He was just created to make the holiday more exciting, I think.

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.

st. nicholas was a good guy that gave out presents arround chirtmass time, thing that money other peolple strated doing untill it become what is now. then toy factories started making money out of people who carry out this tradition and one day they decided tocreate this fat guy for a slogan. so santa is just like sonic in a lot of ways just a fictional charater.
