I love fairy's.  My grandmother always believed in fairy's.  I frequent an area of woods that is absolutely magical.  Mosses and wildflowers, native trout, orange salamanders, mushrooms and waterfalls.  A PERFECT place for fairy's!!!

Actually it is a misconception starting with the fairies them self. They aren't the cheerful little peps that everyone think they are. But yes fairytale where somewhat urban leagans meant to keep not only kids but everyone out of certain places or keep them away from certain people like pagans for example, Why are the witches the bad ones in most tales?.. Or to express their dislikes for members of the royal families, lord and people of higher class, the giant and orgers of the tales.  A lil something to think about, how long would it be until people like Bush or Bin laden have their own tales.

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.

Nope.\n\nAnd in return, if you cant prove God does not exist, well then he just might. I cant prove fairies dont exist, so they just might.\n\nJust the way it works for me.

This is to the person that told you to sit on a pole....because why teach a child about Santa so all they think about Christmas is the gifts. The reason of Christmas is of Jesus' birth not some fat guy in a suit that sneaks into your home at night. i was never told that Santa was real. We focused on the birth. My family didn't get as many presents as the other families but we had the reason in our hearts. And if the world believes in Santa then why don't they believe in God? There's no proof of "Santa" and they believe then why do they need proof of God?

If I believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and SAnta Claus (not to mention Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer), would you think the less of me?

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.

Last summer my 2-year-old nephew was standing on the picnic table and called out to me "Auntie catch"  and he just ran and jumped into my arms without any doubt whatsoever in his mind that I would catch him and he would be fine.  He was right....I think that's the faith of a child.

My belief:\n\nMagic is here, but ghosts aren't\n\nThere are bad guys, but no mutant monsters\n\nThere are good guys, but no teenagers who accidently found a magical stone that gave them powers

Don't forget the three magi: Easter Bunny, Santa, and the Tooth Fairy.\n\nEggs are the new myr.

It's not a big deal - believe what you want and remind them that if they are mean to you their Santa will only give them coal. Hey it's their belief and you should at least have something to say when they get annoying about it. BTW-Santa was based on an actual saint and the values he was modeled on of generosity, kindness, caring for children and good will are still valuable even if his character is a bit out dated.

YES! YES! YES!\n\nI know he exists.  He inspired me to choose kids from a giving tree, and help out senior citizens.\n\nI got a MP3 player for a 15-year-old boy.  Thought I'd go out of my box and pick a 15-year-old boy because they are the one's most often forgotten.  Then I got a fire engine for a 5-year-old boy.  The fire engine was super fun to play with; I got to play with it before I wrapped it and gave it away. I also got a Barbie doll for a 5-year-old girl.\n\nThen for the seniors, I got large washable teddy bears; the alzstimers patients love these.  I also got them pill holders, lotion, scarves, and CD Books (for the blind). All of these gifts together were $80.00.  I’m just a good shopping elf.\n\nSo, do you think Santa exists now??? I'm sure he guided me on the children and seniors to pick.  After all, he knows who's been notty and nice.\n\nDo I still get presents from Santa?  Yes, I get the present of being his little elf and helping him help children and the old.  After all, Santa is the Saint Patron of giving.

Hmm, I've written short stories about both. Fairies are more fun for children's stories, but angel stories are interesting even to adults :)

Thanks pancharito for the story of St. Nicholas. Right now there is a documentary on the Discovery Channel where some scientists are studying the bones of this saint. He is for Real......

analysis has show that children from both groups believe in a master creator, God, angels, things like that. its until they get older and ideas are pressed upon them that they start to change there mind.\n\nthats all i really know about that as far as my education goes.
