"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."]

O....k...let me get this strait..
SANTA IS REAL! everyone else is a retard, why would EVERYONE talk about it every year?? why would they have santa claus trackers all over the world?!
also Perents DO NOT lie to there kids, and if they say hes not real they just don't know the freaking meaning of christmas, i think its all cleared out now :)

Just because we have never seen magic doesnt mean there is no magic. I mean magic is just something that we havent yet explored and so to make it simple we just dont believe in it. If you dont believe in something just because youve never seen it than your missing out on a great piece of life.Life is short make it as wonderful as you can.

I totally believe in Santa. My friend locked his parents in their room and in the morning there were presents under the tree from Santa. EXPLAIN THAT!

Sant is real. I went to Flordia last Christmas and I live in Michigan! When we got back 2 days after Christmas, presents were under the tree. I even got a camera. My mom and dad did NOT want me to have a camera! Why would they get one for me? This year, I'm gonna camp out and see Santa. Real or not, I belive!!!! How could my parents buy a plane ticket home while I was asleep in the hotel and come back the next day? Amy and Sophie, you guys are just Humbugs!!!
Posted by: Miranda | December 21, 2005 at 03:45 PM
good point. Last year My mom bought me a 600 dollar rum set and then Santa got me a vidoe camera that cost 200 dollars. My mom wouldnt spend that much money.

I think that people should not be talking about Santa not being real because i know he's not real but if some little kid comes on this website who believes in Santa they will find out that there is no Santa. I know he's not real because my parents told me when I was 11. It was sad finding out. So can evryone stop saying that Santa isn't real. It isn't fair on the younger children who believe.SANTA IS REAL!!!!! HAppy Christmas xxx

umm santa WASSSS real a long time ago! a loooonnngg time ago! but u can believe he was real ya kno? little kids that are pooer believe in santa with all their hearts and dont gat anything at all!! parents and realatives and neighbors just loovvvee setting up traks of santa and telling you storys.Also the main reason of christmas is that jesus was born not presents or santa! ok plaesse beleive me i wouldnt lie even if you dont know me i belive in jesus!

p.s. Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!!!
god bless you!

yes i am 14 years old and i KNOW SANTA is real early last week like Jan 17 or 16 santa was seen flying over my school and one year my grandma saw hoof prints on top of the garage. I am doing reasearch to prove that santa is real. and by the way the people that pretend to be santa in the malls are just his helpers
Posted by: Kelsey | December 21, 2005 at 05:01 PM
Hi. I am 11 years old. All my friends at school say that there is no santa but I say screw that!!! SANTA IS REAL!!!!!!!!! My parents would not buy me that much stuff. Besides, I would have found their stash by now. Alec you're crazy!!! In my opinion santa comes only to the people that belive. I was skeptical at first but this website made me change my mind. Thank you all!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!! Happy new year!!!! And all you people who don't belive don't lie to younger kids!!!! SANTA IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one time it was christmas eve and i was thirsty so i went downstairs to get water.. without realising that it was 12:00.. then.. i saw santa opening our fridge! and then i remembered that i forgot to leave some milk and cookies! so i gave some to him.. he drank the milk and took a bite on the cookie.. then he said ho ho ho!! he didnt say 'merry christmas!'.. because i did not have any carrots for the reindeer! so i told santa that we only have brocolli and cabbages! and he replied, ho ho ho!!!!!! SANTA IS REAL! i think he only speaks ho-ho-ho language?!?!?

Well obviously Santa Clause is not real. Why would some fat elf want to give you presents? Plus my parents told me when I was 9. Grow up.
Posted by: Rob | December 21, 2005 at 06:31 PM
I think Santa is real even tho my parents told me his not. Santa might not be somthing you see Santa is in the heart or a spriit if you belive in santa you belive in sprits but for all the younge people santa is real you just have to BELIVE cuz beliving is seeing !!!
Joy to the world!!! Peace out !! Merry Christmas

I think Santa is real! My friend said that her parents told her it was them. But what about saint Nick? Who would saint nick be? a made up story? Some people think that '' seeing is beiliving'' somtimes it is but you dont always have to see to beileve. Ashley, your crazy! your parents might of forgotten to put one of their gifts under the tree for you! For all those who beilive good for you! Beilive me SANTA CLAUS IS NOT A LYE! HE'S FOR REAL! I JUST KNOW IT!
Posted by: emhe | December 21, 2005 at 07:36 PM
