Does Santa Clause exist?

[pandaderek]

Possibly, but, he doesn't show up to my place, anymore. I think he's still upset from my dad finding a loophole in his system...his system, where you take your kid to see his minions, shopping mall Santas, and pay them $10 to find out what your kid wants for Christmas. My dad found out that he could take me to the store and have me pick out what I wanted and made me wrap my own presents, saving $10 (true story).

Yes, I have it on VHS.

DVD for me. In a box set with its sequel.

I don't believe in Santa Claus and haven't since third grade. As for your question, you have to find the answer out for yourself on whether you believe he exists or not.

[Mew]

Peoples, Santa Clause is in my basement, screaming in agony because my Midget Minions are beating him with their whips.
Don't worry! Jack Skellington is Santa now.

[Shiro Kame]

Never believed in him as a kid, not starting now.

But why?
Why anything?
The He-Man cartoon was just a big commercial for Mattel.
Why! Why! Why!

What the **** is wrong with you people?

[FoxBoxKid]

He exists in the hearts of those who believe in him. Other than that, not likely.

Mr.Meow, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Mr.Meow, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge.

Yes, Mr.Meow, there is a Santa Clause. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Clause! It would be as dreary as if there were no Mr.Meows. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Clause! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Clause, but even if they did not see Santa Clause coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Clause, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Clause. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Mr.Meow, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Clause! Thank God he lives and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Mr.Meow, nay 10 times 10 thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.



Come on...someone had to do it.

Scott Calvin. A name I'll never forget.

I was wondering when people took down their Christmas decorations, for the past few years I've taken them down the first of January but technically its the 12 days of Christmas so it should be done on the fifth, then again I don't think of Christmas as a christian holiday and after Christmas I just don't feel like seeing decorations up. I put up my decorations the first of December or late November but never before Thanksgiving.

[IndigoErth]

Our tree was packed up a few days ago. I still have one little display to put away, other than that it's pretty much done with.

[Mew]

My tree is still up.
Is that bad??!

I always set up my tree pretty late. Usually in mid-December. And then put it way on New Year's Eve or early January. As a kid, my parents always set the tree in December 1st and then put it way in January 6th.

We grew up. My mom took me aside one day and told me Santa wasn't real and that it was the parents who put out the presents. She told me not to tell my friends though because she said it was up to their parents to tell them that, so I never did and let them believe as long as they wanted. My sister found out when she saw my mom putting my brother's Hot Wheels race track together. I'm surprised she didn't tell me herself, but I think Mom told her not to. I'm surprised she even listened considering she doesn't listen to anyone now when they tell her something.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

And maybe that's why. Sounds like her faith was shattered, poor thing.


As for when we take down our tree, I took everything off/out from under it, but the tree itself is still up, and I haven't yet put all the ornaments back into storage as I have to rearrange the closet to do it and just haven't felt the inclination yet.

Growing up means you can't have fun with Christmas?
