I used to believe in Santa when I was a kid, but not anymore. For the main greedy reason of this: I'd almost never get what I wanted for Christmas.

And besides, one year when I was young my dad tried to dress up as Santa and bring this big sack of presents inside the house, and I could just tell at once that it was him. And that beard wasn't convincing at all.

I believe Santa was once a fat man who lived in Turkey who gave out gifts around the town :o Other than that, heck no. I'd be a fool to believe in Santa Claud. But I believe in someone giving me gifts on Christmas :D Free gifts are someone everyone should believe in.

I believe in Santa's better brother, Fred. (Oh gods. I want to see that movie so badly. ;o; )

My mother just kind of killed the spirit of Christmas for me when I was a young child. Starting in September, if I ran up to her with a toy that I really wanted, she would put it in the cart and loudly proclaim for me to forget all about it. It didn't take me all that long to realize what was going on.

Now Santa's just kind of a dead topic for me. There's just no reason for me to talk about him.

I believe that there's a little Santa in all of us.
Well, that explains the voices.

Frankly, I feel like this would be a good time to say something that I usually don't say out loud for fear of being stoned: I don't even like Santa Claus. *dodges stones.*

To be honest, Santa has always represented to me what I find wrong with the modern celebration of Christmas: materialism and stress. I think all of the hubbub about Christmas everywhere you look once November starts just cheapens the whole thing. I think Christmas has lost a lot of its innocence, the fragile and warm feeling you get by having a nice, quiet evening with your family.

(I swear, I make this anti-secular Christmas speech earlier every year...)

Physically, Santa does not exist for me in the least bit. I was always one of the children that firmly believed in Santa Claus, up until third grade. It was early October andwe were talking about Santa during our snack time, when this kid Marcus just flat out said he wasn't real. At that point, our class got into a screaming match. I lead the seventeen believers, while Marcus lead the six non-believers. We kept going back and forth at it, until I just asked my teacher. She replied, without looking at me may I add, "Only if you believe." I knew she was hiding something. I went home and told my mother that I was losing faith in Santa. After many attempts to keep me Santa-filled for one more year, my mother finally admitted his non-existance. After that, I became a snooper and my Christmas sucked for a good two-three years.

Emotionally and spiritually, though, Santa is as real as you and me. He's a part of our culture and childhood. He represents so much of our innocence and dreams. When I'd put cookies out for him even after I found out he was fake made him seem real again. My mom still today signs his name on the presents, and it puts a little magic into Christmas. And Santa does still live on through the children, as he will for generations to come. =]

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Well, I never really believed. It's sort of hard to when you watch your parents put your present under the tree from upstairs when you're meant to be asleep.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

No. One year, Mom returned a gift from "Santa" to the local Lowe's. Happened around sixth grade. Then the next year, our math teacher read a piece on how the existence of Santa Claus is impossible due to mathematics and the laws of physics.

Oh yeah, Santa never delivered that heaping pile of money and that Lincoln Town Car I kept asking for.

I've got a weird history in believing Santa Claus. XD; My parents first told me about him obviously so I thought he existed, then on my own as a kid I convinced myself that he didn't exist, then all of a sudden I started believing in him again. o_o; but now I don't believe in him, and I doubt I ever will again XD;

I like the idea of free presents, but we all need to remember what Christmas is all about. It's not the presents, it's that warm fuzzy feeling we get when we spend time w/ our familia.

No joke.

So you would tell a five year old child in the process of putting cookies out on Christmas Eve that Santa Claus was a big fat lie?
Yes, thats what i would do.
the more you believe something fake exists, the more painful it gets.
Besides, if children just think about it, a big, fat jolly guy that comes down your chimney(who can't even fit without magic) goes there, eats your food, and lays a present sounds far fetched.It seems more like a scheme to bypass house security.and you get a good present if you are good? It really sounds like something made by parents to make their kids nice.
and yeah, digital mage is right.
santa is all about presents, he was made for commercialism.

I have never believed in Santa, because I was a very smart child, for starters I didn't have a chimney and he always goes down it right?
thank you, thats what i was talking about.
they could've at least said that he used the door, or even window, because every modern house has that.
