That doesn't make sense.

Believing means you think/know he's real.

Why would you believe in someone you know isn't real?

I mean that I know he's not real, but I still believe in the magic of Christmas.

YES! I believe in the magic of Christmas!

Urm.

The magic of Christmas is actually Christ.

Not Santa.

Shouldn't this be closed? Yeah, some people don't (myself included) but I can see it upsetting those who do.

Yay!

Santa isn't real, no.

Hmm... if NORAD believes in him, I do.

They exist. I should know, my friend is one. At least, he has the brain of one. And I mean, they don't have brains.

So yeah, weird friend.

•You can't travel the Earth in one night on a sleigh. That's impossible. There's a plane that can go around the world in a little more than 3 and a half hours, but that's at it's top speed, and you'd have to stop at each house.
•Reindeer. Don't. Fly.
•Wouldn't this be illegal? He's technically breaking into people's houses.

And also I personally think it's horrible that any parent would flat out lie to their kid, especially if it's too get them to be good. That's taking advantage of them. They should go pick on someone their own size.

Oh yeah, I believe in a fat guy wearing a red suit and sporting a strange beard, who goes around the world in a sled in one night, yet for some reason never gives poor kids presents, or for me per say. My presents come from real people.

You are awesome.

+1


And also +1 about the "some reason never gives poor kids presents". :|

It's not horrible. It's just a holiday tradition that makes it more fun for the younger kids. Lighten up.

Whoops, I didn't mean to quote that last bit. I agree, Santa is part of the fun when you're little.

I don't mean that you can't play around with them about Santa. What I'm saying is that if you actually get them to believe that Santa is seriously real, that's horrible. How is your child supposed to trust you if you've been lying to him/her? I would certainly consider my parents less trustworthy if they lied to me.

Thankfully they didn't. I picked up the whole Santa garbage from the kids at school whose parents were liars. I really wish I wasn't so gullible.

I'd rather be lied to and get years of excitement out of it than know the truth.

I'd rather have fun pretending, but know that my parents have taught me logic instead of telling me that a fat guy circles the whole Earth in 12 hours on a sleigh controlled by reindeer and hands out presents to children.
