"Is Santa Claus real?" Emma, my 5yo, asked me.
Uh oh. "What do you think?" I asked her.
"I think he's real!"
"Then he is real, Sweetheart." I told her.
Later, her daddy concurred. "Remember The Polar Express? Santa is real if you believe." Emma was satisfied. Whew!
[Update: Emma later confided in her grandma, "I don't know if Santa is real, but I like getting presents."]
ONE TIME I SAW MY MOM AND DAD PUTTING PRESENTS UNDER THE COUCH. BUT I JUST UNDERSTOOD WHY MY DAD ASKED ME LIKE TWO YEARS IN A ROW IF I WANTED TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH. I AM THIRTEEN!! MY PARENTS NEVER TOLD ME THEY MADE "ME" FIGURE IT OUT. THAT IS HOW I AM GOING TO DO THAT FOR MY KIDS. WHEN THEY TURN 11 I WILL HAVE THEM SLEEP ON THE COUCH. BUT THE THING THAT CONFUSED ME WAS LIKE THREE CHRISTMASES AGO THERE WERE TWO FEET ON OUR FIRE PLACEC THE OUTER THING (CEMENT) HAD TWO BLACK FOOT PRINTS. BUT NOW THAT I THINK OF THAT MY PARENTS DON'T HAVE THAT TYPE OF SHOES THAT HAD THAT FOOTPRINT. SO I AM REALLY CONFUSED!!

I beg my pardon little dear children, but unfortunately santa is NOT real.
Your parents have been lying to you, all you kiddies are little liars or are just imagining it.

santa used to be real in the 3rd century AD but parents continue the spirit of telling their kids he is real for th spirit and to teach them about the spirit of giving =)

I'm Twelve and i've known santa wasn't real at the bottom of my heart all along. my parents told me and the past two years i've SEEN all the presents under my tree before i went to sleep. all the stockings were stuffed and the presents were all in position. I woke up the next day and the presents looked EXACTLY the SAME as they did the night before. My brother always told me that he had a video of santa's feet in the cimney or something (can't remember)but he ADMITTED to lying. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but just because he's NOT REAL doesn't mean he doesn't exist in your heart.

No, He Isn't Real. Although There Is A Chance That He COULD Get around The Whole World In One Night, Because We Have Different Time Zones Like In UK It'll Be Night Time But In Australia It Would Already Be Christmas Day So He'd Go There First. I Still Don't Believe In Him Cause One day I Went In My Mum And Dad's Room And I Saw A Present And On Christmas Day I Saw A Present In Santa Wrapping Paper And It Was From Santa And The Pressie I Saw In My Mum And Dad's Room And A Few Days after I Looked Behind the drawer we have In My Parent's Room And It Was The Wrapping Paper That Was Left Over And it was The Same Wrapping Paper I Got My Pressie In. So Don't All You People Go Round saying "He's Real, I Saw Him, He Has Elves" Blah, Blah, Blah Its Nonsense! He Is a Money Making Scam So The Shops Get More Money I Tell You. I Believe In St Nicohlas Though :) From Lily

Hmm... I am currently going through a phaise where I am really unsure. I have seen alot of Children who belive that he is absolutley your parents, and they are persuading me out of the christmas spirit. I have been looking for acurate sources and information, because we don't have much money and when I make a list for Santa, if it is my mom, then I can just put on things that are less expencive than I had originally planned on. I can suffer a few years without good things ;D
