Balogna! Santa is as real as you and me and Atilla the Hun.
It's okay though, every kid goes through a "santa isn't real" phase. And for the time-being they're even right.
Every year millions of people give gifts and the tags say "from: Santa". When I was 13, 14, and for a long time after, I dismissed Santa. After all, I knew it was my parents.
But here's the deal: the fact that there is not, at the time, any physical being that rides in a magic sleigh, with magic reindeer, and giant magic bag of toys that sneaks down chimneys, doesn't keep him from putting smiles on our faces. It doesn't stop the look on a kiddo's face when they get exactly what they asked for. So many care and have cared enough to uphold a once revered, very real man, and act in such a way as to keep him alive and well in remembrance. Plus he gets to share Jesus's birthday, and Christians are okay with that. ( I know, I know.)
Ah I remember my whole "believing in Santa" phase. Though every kid in my school I 've met and I imagine the vast majority of students never even believed in Santa, as they saw no logic in it. When I was 3 I saw no logic to it as well, but I did believe in magick though and my dad said "Santa is a very accomplished mage. That's how he does all of those stuff that don't seem possible" I didn't know much about magick at the time so I believed him. But one Christmas Eve night when I was 9 I went downstairs to get a glass of water and saw my parents eating Santa's offerings.
The myth of Santa originally comes from Lapp shaman in Lappland who dressed in red coats and tall red hats. They ate sacred mushrooms to travel to the Underworld to consult spirits. But first they fed their mushrooms to reindeer and ate them when they excreted them, diluting them and extreminating th chemicals and bacteria that would make them ill. They then had visions of an elf King riding on a sleigh (I can't remember whether it was reindeer or wolf pulled) after which they would leave offerings of mead and milk for the elf King.
Jman: Either you still believe in the stereo-typical Santa Claus or you just think we believe in him and want to see us excited about him just for a laugh.
One more thing! I personally don't think Christ was born on the 25th; I think the Romans just replaced Christmas with their pagan festival which took place on the 25th (I don't know its name though) Though the whole 'star of Bethlehem' I think it was either a sylph (raising the possibility of Christ being a childe of the faery) or just Halley's comet.
