He does exist because he was a real person. ST. Nicholas, at on time and has become a fantasy charecter come ot life in depeartment stores, et cetera.

Of course I do. He gave a lot of cool gifts growing up. He also had the habit of leaving presents for me at my relatives houses as well as mine. Oops.

I say "ho-ho-ho" to that one!

I didn't until one fateful Christmas on guard duty. He startled me and I loosed half a mag at him. He took cover and was okay. The reindeer were delicious...

Don't be fooled by this clown. Switch the words around a lil and you have Satan. I laugh when people defend this fat clown, just because of ol nick, did ol St nick die for the sin of man? No, Christ did, yet he is becoming more scarce in Christmas or any time, but santa fraud is shown everywhere...

I assume that the author of this list means Santa Claus rather than Santa Clause as shown in the listing.

The former is the guy who brings us presents at Christmas. The latter appears to be a paragraph inserted into a California real estate sales contract.

I did, but then Hollywood in its infinite wisdom revealed that it was that hack from Home Improvement, shattering my faith in more ways than one...

The cynisism on this board is depressing!

The jolly--and brave--leader and founder of the Holidaymakers Alliance, Santa Claus (actually Christoper S. Kringle II) has no qualms about delivering presents to all of the good people of his sector (Sector 001 - including Earth, Mars, Alpha Centauri, Saturn's Moon of Titan, etc.) Christopher's father, the very first legendary Christmas champion, knew that these greats had more than the ability to make people's lives happier through rewards of gifts and candy. Thus, he trained his son, the current Santa Claus, the way of the hero. And, Santa passed this knowledge onto his allies (including the Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy), and thus the Holiday Heroes were born. Throughout time, they have battled the forces of evil in addition to the forces of the demanding seven-year-old. His sleigh (Super Sleigh Delta)--designed with the help of the Federation Starfleet and the Kanto Aeronautics Agency--can avoid detection by military and other foes and is piloted a group of highly-trained elves. His trademark red suit has been used for over 40 years and has never needed a cleaning. Recently, Santa Claus has clashed with the Cynical Adult Destructors--a group of people who are convinced that Santa and his lot are a hoax and that the reality must be brought forward. Led my the menacing Joe, the CADs have been proven wrong on multiple occasions--including when aliens were behind the Jerry Springer Show in an attempt to give Humanity a bad name and that Comedy Central was a secret front for smuggling weapons to villains.

He was a real person. Does he still deliver presents to little kids, no. Did he ever go around the world and do it, no. He lived a very long time ago, and he didn't live at the North Pole.

Nope, anyone who believes Santa exists is a demented moronic soul. Children who believe in it need to learn that Santa was a recently bailed out jail-bird still seeking employment.

The story, the fairy tale magic in a child's mind. Just like a god in adult's minds.

My cousin belives in santa. Oh did I mention he is 8? You shouldn't belive in santa if you are over the age of 9.

I'm still waiting on that new car!

No, I had another fat man put presents under my tree.

I'm not three years old.

I see no reason to lie to children. Kids care about getting the presents, not where they come from.

Perfect God substitute for young children who have trouble with abstract religious concepts. This is probably where most kids first internalize theological ideas about God. He watches you all the time, so you'd better be good. If you're good, he'll reward you with presents. If you're bad, he'll punish you with lumps of coal (or nothing at all). He has magical powers that enable him to defy time and space. You offer up a sacrifice to Him in the form of a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. He comes from the sky, is very old, and has a long white beard. He has his own priests in department stores across the country who claim to speak for Him. Also, you're expected to believe in Him despite the fact that no one has ever seen the man. I give Santa two stars because it's a beautiful myth which is kind of effective at extorting good behavior from children. But that's all.

Saint Nicholas, the man from who the idea Santa Claus was derived from, I believe in--I would believe that he, at one point, existed. However, the tubby guy in the red suit is brought to you by Coca-Cola.
