Santa's not real?!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! My parents told me Santa wasn't real at a very young age. My family was very religious and they didn't want me to Skew what they felt was the true meaning of Christmas(Jesus) So I never really took the news that hard...the problem was getting me to stop telling other kids Santa wasn't real. I felt it was my 5 year old duty to tell them the truth...needless to say not many people liked me in kindergarten.

Well I assume Santa still knows if I've been naughty or nice.  In THAT case, I doubt if I get anything but a lump of coal!   lol

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'

Years ago when my older sister and I were much younger when our parent's were at work , we would very carefully pull the tape off of our present's , so we could see what we got . \nIf it was a toy we were really wanting , we would totally unrap it , open the box , and actually play with it . \nWhen we were done , we would box it back up and very very carefully slide it back into the christmas paper , and we would use new scotch tape to tape them back up ... \nWe only got caught once lol !

I totally agree, I wasn't told there were fictitious people or beings. I knew exactly where the gifts, candy and other stuff came from.\nI raise my children the same way, I never want them to think I have lied to them, I want them to know they can trust me.

Let him be a kid. He will find out by himself anyway. He will be sad when he finds out there is no Santa. Dont ruin it for him. He will grow out of it eventually anyway and wish he still believed.

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.

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 believe he was made up for us to have false hope and then we get disappointed and realize it was all a dream like santa.

From the mouths of babes come such honest, simple questions. I remember many defining moments similar to the one you relate from when I asked my mother questions as a child. When I realized Santa Claus couldn't actually make it around the world in one night, I questioned the feasibility of the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent nature of God myself! Pretty good questions, pretty obvious answers! How those adults expect us to accept such nonsensical notions through faith is ridiculous.

There is one like that, but it goes:\n\n\nThere is a little boy and all he wants for Christmas is a new gaming system. So he writes a letter to Santa saying that he's been good and wants some cool PSP, (Or whatever else is cool), his dad (Being his kid's Santa)...Know that this isn't true, so he tells his kid to write another one. The kid does, and again it says "Dear Santa, I have been good and want a really cool _____!! Thanks!" The dad knows that this again isn't true. so pissed, the little boy goes to church, comes back with a balloon, and a small statue of Mary. So.. instead he writes: \n\nDear Jesus,\n\nI have your mother, if you want her back I need a new gaming system!!!\n\nThank you!
