"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."]


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.

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!

Santa is real, believe it or not. Poeple may say he isn't, but he is. In my heart he is. Just believe, sure parents help. It's their job as a parent, it's also their job to let you make up your mind on whether Santa Claus is real or not. How could someone just make up Santa Claus and then have it become known world wide? They couldn't, there must have been a Santa some time. You may not see him, but he is real. BELIEVEING IS SEEING...so just believe.
IN MY HEART SANTA IS REAL!
