"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."]
Santa IS real. I have proof. When my father was a little boy, he saw Santa outside his window. My best friend saw Santa's sleigh and reindeer. One Christmas I heard a click and I was scared. A couple of minutes later, I heard another click. Then, I had to got the bathroom (x3) So my brother looked outside and saw the presents are there (they weren't there before the 'click') I saw them too.
I also wrote this little rant or essay about Santa.
Also, read the book Flight of the Reindeer by Robert Sullivan. It works wonders :3
Also, according to FotR, Santa isn't St. Nicholas, but an elf. Santa Claus does come from Sinterklass/St. Nicholas, although that is not his real name. His real elvish name is something else, like Lalayafla or something.
:) Keep on believing people.
