Is Santa Claus real?

Is Santa Real?

There are different opinions on this. Here is what contributors have had to say:

• Santa Claus is as real as one wishes him to be. If you believe in Santa then he is real. If you don't believe in him, then he isn't real. He is real as long as you believe.

• No, sorry. He is just a character made up by adults to make their children more imaginative.

• Yes, Santa Claus is real because he was already declared a saint. Therefore, if he is a saint, he can perform miracles such as giving gifts to a mass number of good children.

• I really think that Santa Claus is totally real. But I am only 6 years old so you might not believe me. By the way my mom is typing this because I can't read and I am just saying this to mom and she is typing.

• Totally not, it is just a silly rumor to get children to do what they are told.

• Yes, he is real! Can anyone else give presents to good little girls and boys and make it home in time for dinner?

• He is not real. Parents are the ones who put presents in the stockings.

• Is Santa Claus real? Yes! Santa Claus is real! And I'm going to find him. I'm part of a growing team of "Santa Seekers" who intend to prove to the world that Santa Claus is real. We'll use science and faith respectively. And you can join us! Is Santa Real? Maybe you should join our "Search for Santa!" Or watch me in the new film.

• Santa Claus is totally totally real. There are about two billion children in the world (people under the age of 18). But Santa doesn't appear to handle Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist children. That reduces the workload on Santa to about 15%, now with a total of 378 million children is easier. He has 31 hours of Christmas time to do so. That is 91.8 million homes. He goes East to West because of time diffrences. So therefore he is real.

• If you are more religious than most then you would think yes, because he was actually declared as a Saint (Saint Nick) because of the miracle of delivering presents to good little boys and girls throughout the world that believe in him. But if you're a skeptic then most likely no, because as you grow older you come to realize that it is none other than your parents placing those presents under the tree (it was my mothers handwriting that did it in for me) but deep down it is a sense that it was like a childhood memory that even adults still cherish and present to their children's minds and hearts to help build their imagination and let them believe in something because as they grow older they tend to lose their sense of child like innocence and it's a way of holding on... that and make it to where they behave for at least a month. But yes as someone else said it, "Santa Claus is as real as one wishes him to be".

• Yes, Santa WAS a real man. He lived in Turkey.

• The existence of Santa Claus is only as subjective as anybody else's.
  

• If you are ten or under, yes he is. Don't worry about what others say. Go back to what you are doing. If your older than ten then Santa is the giving spirit of Christmas. It's about giving to others and being selfless. The spirit of Santa is in us all and as long as we remember what Christmas is really about then yes he is real.

• Where was the first Yankee Swap held?
• How can a large blue spruce Christmas tree be donated to the White House for Christmas or to another place like Time Square?
• To keep all of the lights of a Christmas tree from going out if one bulb is defective a current should be used?
