Santa Claus!? I recenlty found out my friend told her 6 year old son that there isn't really a Santa Claus, even though he still beleived in Santa. I think Santa is the one pure innocent thing children have now a days and taking that away so young is unfair. How old do you think a child should be told about Santa? Personally my parents never actually told me, I belived for so long until I just figured it out. They still stuff my stocking and leave an unwrapped prestent under the tree for me. I'm 27 and don't even live with them anymore. =)

Where did the origin of Santa Claus come from? When did people first start to celebrate Christmas? Christmas was supposedly a day created to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Where did the origin/idea of Santa Claus come from? Where did the idea to give gifts on Christmas come from? Why do we put up Christmas trees? Where did the idea to decorate trees and houses with lights,garlands,etc. come from? When did people first start to celebrate Christmas? How long has Christmas celebrations went on throughout history? Why did people decide that December 25th should be the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ? The Bible has no specific date on when Jesus Christ was born, so why December 25th?
How much faith does it take not to believe in Santa Claus? Just because you have seen your parents dropping off your presents under the Christmas tree, doesn't mean the real Santa Claus isn't visiting other people somewhere. You would have to check every chimney in the whole world to be sure Santa is not real. Therefore, if you claim not to believe that Santa Claus is real, you are holding a position of faith. The question is, how much faith?
What do you think of telling children that Santa Claus is not real? I'm sick of all the Christmas songs about Santa Claus, reindeer, bells jingling, and winter weather. Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. Santa Claus is not real, and I would not hesitate to tell any child of any age the truth about Santa Claus, while sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him/her. What do you think about my doing that? Like at the mall when "Santa" is there and kids are standing in line waiting to tell him what they want for Christmas.
What country has jurisdiction over Santa Claus? The North Pole is on an ice sheet and is technically not a part of any country's land. But one of the countries that is nearby surely can set laws pertaining to Santa Claus. There are seven countries with land above the Arctic Circle. They are: Russia Canada Greenland (Denmark) Norway United States (Alaska) Sweden Finland Which of these countries has jurisdiction over Santa Claus? Or is it all of them? What country is Santa Claus from, anyway?
What is a good present to give a Santa Claus? My mom's boyfriend dresses up like Santa Claus every year and passes out gifts to all the kids in the family. His suit is all complete. I'd like to have my daughter (age 4) to give him (Santa) a gift that he could incorporate into his suit. Like maybe a Rudolf button or some other flair. Any ideas?
How do i introduce my child into believing in santa claus? I have a one year old little boy. He's my first born and I would like to give him the magical feeling of believing in Santa Claus no matter how temporary it will turn out to be. But since I don't really remember ever truly believing in Santa, I don't know how to go about introducing my son to the belief...Any suggestions?
How come people who don't think Santa Claus is real ask questions in the Christmas section? Is it because they are affected by Christmas and maybe know people who do think Santa Claus is a real person? In other words, one doesn't have to believe Santa is real to be affected by the belief in Santa? Just so we are all clear, here is the Christmas section of Yahoo Answers, http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=Aq7lI3kINo3Vy72hJtepl9Xf7BR.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396546502
What is the song that talks about Santa Claus being kidnapped by aliens? You see, in my Ballroom Dance Company we're dancing to a Christmas song that mentions Santa's being captured, and then finally escaping from, some aliens. I remember that it ends with the phrase "Merry Christmas Earth People" spoken by an alien, but can't seem to find it anywhere! It is a mix of Christmas music and a news reporter talking about the kidnapping and what they're doing to help save Santa Claus. Anybody know what it could be? Thanks in advance!
What should be a FEE SCHEDULE for myself to appear as SANTA CLAUS? I am planning to appear in my area as SANTA CLAUS during the upcoming Christmas season. I did appear as Santa (three times) earlier years, without any FEE SCHEDULE. - I did accept "random gratuitous-amounts" from friends who I visited. I'm wondering what is "the going rate" for Santa-appearances to business parties, group celebrations, or private (family) festivities.
How can I make my son get over his fear of santa claus? We have this fake santa claus at my house. It is about 4 feet tall and sings and dances. My son screems and cries everytime anyone minchens it.

How old were you when you found out the truth about Santa Claus? And how did you find out or who told you? I was in 3rd grade and I asked my friend about Santa Claus and he told me there was no Santa Clause. I didn't want to believe him so I kinda forced myself into still believing. Even though deep down, I knew the real truth.
Why does parents deceive their children on Christmas saying that Santa Claus gave them? Parents do you not know that you are deceiving your child(ren) on Christmas that Santa Claus or St. Nick climbed down the chimney and left them with gifts under your Christmas tree? I really don't understand why you spend all your hard earn money only to say that someone else gave them. But, you trained and raise your child(ren) not to lie? Does that seem logical? Why wait to spend all that money at this time of year by going broke, going into debt, when you can give to your child(ren) everyday of their lives and not having to lie about the fact that, who, Santa Claus gave them?
How do I tell my 6 year old daughter about Santa Claus? My wife has already told my daughter that it's we parents who do the gift giving so forget about Santa Claus. I want to phrase the rest right so my daughter doesn't start disbelieving everything else as well. She's a very smart first grader. Please note I said it's MY WIFE who told her there's no Santa Claus. Now I'm trying to salvage something here, so cut the judgemental answers. It's too late for that.
What do you think of an adult that believes in Santa Claus? Say you are walking down the street and encounter someone whom fervently believes that Santa Claus exists. What would you think?

Earlier years, I did use white hair paint from both my local beauty supply and acting supply houses; each one turned my beard an eerie gray color! Which spray color type (latex or oil base) should better color my beard to the WHITE that is notorious of Santa Claus?
Would you prefer Santa Claus or Edward Cullen to deliver your Christmas presents? This random question must mean that I have a life right? :P Anyway, let's say that you could be young again. If these two FICTIONAL characters were real, would you prefer Santa Claus (jolly old man) or Edward Cullen (romantic vampire) to deliver you Christmas presents? Also, if one of them were to creep you out by entering your house at night, who would it be?

How to spell as in Santa Claus? Do people know how to spell Claus? I ask because of the number of folks I notice spelling the name as Santa Clause, which seems to be based on "The Santa Clause" movies. I've got no problems with these movies as I think their great, especially the first one. But it seems they may have caused a slight problem on the spelling of the name. It's made pretty clear in the first movie that the Santa Clause is not saying Santa Claus but rather is refering to the clause, or buisness agreement, which makes one Santa Claus.

is it bad to teach your kids about Santa Claus? Our daughter is 3yrs and 8 months now. I was telling her the story about Santa Claus and she was getting real excited. But then my wife starts telling me that she doesn't think it's a good idea to give her false incentives to be good. She also gives the old "I never believed in Santa Claus as a child and I turned out fine" routine. As for me, I just don't see the harm in it- sure, one day we'll tell her the truth when she's old enough to understand that her parents are just doing it to give her a special experience once a year. For now, I'm just enjoying her excitement about Christmas. So my question is: do you think there's any disadvantages to teaching your children the Santa Claus myth? Do you think children would be affected negatively because you told them blatant mistruths?
How Do You Handle Santa Claus And All Of The Other Holiday Myths In Your House? I don't want to get into a debate but many people are now secularizing themselves away from religion. Many of the holiday characters especially Santa Claus are linked with Christianity and other religions. I wanted to know if you still raise your kids into believing in The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy or you are not bothering at all with the fairy tale stories. Just curious to see what newer parents are raising their kids to believe. i was raised on all of the myth fairy tale holiday characters and was quite devastated when I found out they were not real and i was lied to about all of this by my parents.
Is it possible that a 10 year old boy still believes in Santa Claus? My coworker has a 10 year old son, who attends public school, that she claims still believes in Santa Claus. I tell her there is no way that he still believes at that age. She insists that he tells her everything and wouldn't lie about this. I told her that he is just playing along because he is smart enough to see that pretending to believe makes her happy. What do you think? Am I wrong and 10 year olds still truly believe in Santa?
Why do some Christians disapprove of Santa Claus? Doesn't Santa Claus teach a valuable lesson about giving without expecting a gift in return? When you find out there is no Santa Claus you are also finding out that all those years your parents have been giving you stuff anonymously, then you go on to do the same for your kids and for other people. I am not Christian, but I believe Santa Claus is a very Christian idea.
How old is too old for a dog or cat to still believe in Santa Claus? My wife takes our dog to Petco to get his photo taken with Santa each year, but he's getting much older now and in the most recent pic, I can swear, there's a look of incredulity in my dog's eyes as he's sitting there on Santa's lap. At what age, typically, do dogs and cats stop believing in Santa Claus? Should we start labeling his gifts "From Mommy and Daddy" instead of "From Santa"?
Does anyone else see a sort of analogy in santa claus and going to heaven ? With santa claus it's more on the line for children that if you're good at the end of the year you get a gift (reward) where as with heaven both children and adults desire this (eternal life) if your good and righteous you'd go to heaven when you die. I'm probably incorrect about this some way so feel free to correct, but it's just been something on my mind for quiet a while.
Do child therapists commonly mimic Santa Claus? I feel a bit ridiculous asking this question. I have on more than one occasion come across middle-aged shrinks with great white beards, merry laughs, and thick girths, and noted this to be peculiar. A friend of mine proposed that this was a trick used in order to ease interactions with children, by associating themselves with Santa Claus. Is there merit to this theory, or is it just a weird coincidence on my part? Has anyone else come across Santa-mimicry among child therapists?
Does anyone own the rights to Santa Claus? For example, I couldn't just start printing and selling Spiderman or Pulp Fiction T-shirts, or make a movie with those characters. But if I decided to do either using Santa Claus could I be in any legal danger, and if so, by who?
I am contemplating litigation against Santa Claus? because he does not portray a vegan lifestyle. Santa Claus abuses his reindeers and promotes eating milk and cookies!! Think about it people I have the best case possible. I am going to my lawyers office now. I think Santa Claus needs to be taught a lesson. I am going to take him down. Anybody else want to sign my petition?
Do you know the religious story of Santa Claus? I'm posting this here in Religion because it's not really the season, is it? So nobody will see it in Holidays. There are many myths about the Santa Claus rite, but does anybody know the religious story of Santa Claus? I know it but I'm wondering if his story is widespread.
How come the atheist sign in Washington didn't list Santa Claus? “At this season of The Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.” I don't see Santa listed...belief in Santa is certainly prevalent "at this season". Were atheists condoning seasonal child abuse by neglecting to list Santa Claus as an imaginary figure? Why didn't the atheists who made this sign think it important for children to get a dose of reality?
What would your definition of Santa Claus be ? I think Santa Claus is a happy guy that gives out toys. Does that mean theres more then one Santa in the world ?

Christmas is coming up soon: How can I trap Santa Claus? Well Christmas is coming up and you know what that means, it means I will have another chance to capture Santa Claus and steal all of his toys! The last three years I have tried various traps in an effort to snag him, but so far his fat ass has been to clever. But not this year, This year I WILL get him! But unfortunately, I am all out of ideas. Do you have any good ideas on how I could trap santa claus when he enters my house?
A guy bleaching his hair to white to look like Santa Claus. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? I have a friend who is 37 years old. He likes to play Santa Claus every year, and been doing it for the last 15 years. The funny thing is he wants to do is to bleach his beard and hair white. He told me he tested his hair and it will take four bleachings to get it white, then cut it back after Christmas and color it back. IS THIS CRAZY, or not say any bad about it?
who is the first thought that santa claus is real? I never think he is real. And I think he is just such a man with 100% Imaginations for kids in the world. But who is the first one says that Santa Claus gave presents to kids, not Their Parents who gave it? Okay... I'm sorry about my bad grammar. I mean, Who is the first man that told the Kids Santa is the father of Christmas who gave kids presents?
My good question for tonight is what do you get for Santa Claus for Christmas? I mean he delivers toys to all the good boys and girls. He delivers coal to the bad boys and girls. So what do you get for Santa Claus the man who is a jolly old elf? What would Mrs Claus and elves get the man? I'm sure he does not need a gps. He has been making the trip for a couple hundred years now so I doubt he gets lost very often. I'm sure he has had a laptop for years and years. How else would he keep his naughty and nice lists current esp with how many children he has to deliver toys to in one night? Cell phone? I'm sure he has another way to keep in touch with Mrs Claus and the elves while he is gone. So what are you getting for Santa this year besides milk and cookies? Besides after several plates of cookie and glasses of milk he is most likely full. lol Thanks Most of the answers so far are great and things I would not have thought of for him. No I am not 7 years old. I'm 40 something just trying to ask a fun question. I wondered what other people would get Santa if they were giving him a gift this year. I'm not sure about a slim fast though. He is supposed to be a jolly old elf. Not a skinny guy. It would take somthing away from the idea of him. Thanks for answers and Merry Christmas
What is your opinion on telling kids that there is, or that there isn't a Santa Claus? It's that time of year!!! Many parents these days are telling their children earlier on that there really isnt a Santa Claus because they consider it "lying" to their kids. Other parents will even have fake Santa Claus letters mailed to their children to try to prove to their children that he does indeed exist. What are your opinions on making kids believe in Santa.... and your opinions of telling them that there isnt a Santa?
how do I design Santa Claus Town? I want to design a Santa Claus Town for a shopping mall , the way I saw in american Christmas movies. What are the elements that I have to include there? I noticed that is a little house, a Christmas tree, Santa's chair, there are some things that can't be missing there, isn't it? What are those ? Thank you so much!
How am I going to deal with Santa Claus issue this year? I have a 12 year old girl , yes she still believes. I honestly, love the innocence. I have been reading about the gal with the 9 yr old/ and 10 month. I was just crying over your answers. I believe she knows but just doesn't want to verbalize it. She asks me questions like Are you Santa? I have skirted the answer. I mean she was devasted about tooth fairy. So this will be even harder. I figured I would pull up the legend of Santa Claus and let her read that. She realizes Christmas is more than presents and we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. I have kept it alive as I see the magic in her eyes. We watched past Christmas morning videos and I try to remind her of that enchantment. With all that is bombarding kids today I guess I just want to hold on to this as long as I can.
how do you tell a six years old that there is no real santa claus? my daughter is 6 yr old. she believe in santa clause. she just informed me that she make a $5.00 bet with some older kids at school that there is really santa clause. she is going to prove it to him when she received the diary she want. she believe it from santa claus.
If Santa Claus ran for President would he be a Democrat or Republican? If its Santa Claus (D) would it be the non-stop "oh he is a socialist he wants to give out free stuff" If its Santa Claus (R) would it be the non-stop "oh he is a racist he gives the rich kids better toys then the poor kids and the rich kids are white and the poor kids are black". My question might seem bizarre but the attacks on people running for President have lost their meaning. You know what I would do if Santa was running for President, I'd take a look at his voting record.
How do you explain lying to your kids about Santa Claus ??? or even the Easter Bunny etc.? Have you read about what the so called " Santa Claus" or Satan Claus (how it was really named) did to little children?? Yes he gave them gifts but were the gifts worth the consiquence??? We tell our children not to lie but how can you if you tell your kids lies for years. Please do not leave comments if you do not know what you are talking about.
Do you lie to your children and tell them Santa Claus exist? This question is for the righteous right, the doctor Phil wanna be.Do you lie to your children and tell them Santa Claus exist? I think its a bad practice reaaly.. Most people tell their Kids that Santa Claus exist , little people make the toys and also help fabricate them.. The truth is sanata claus is a bif commercial plot and a very expensive one on the back of working parents whom are trying to make the ends meet. Some even goes as to put the bills on credit cards Corporation makes enormous profits during holidays.. The truth is tha the little people making the toys are usually kids working for a dollar a day, being exploited like an animal or slave so the Wal-mart owne can make profit.. The elves are the kids mothers who barely win enough money to buy a meal.. At one point of time the kid grow and realize that he had been lied to all his life and that now iit is ok to lie.. Do you lie about Santa Claus?
So many children wrote a letter to so-called Santa Claus to differentdesignated addresses across the globe.? Now, there is a paid-service that let parents of children to 'personalized' a letter and send the personalized letter to their children on the 'behalf' of the Santa Claus. But, of course, the children does not know that the parents is behind the act. The children would believe that the letter is from the Santa Claus. Now, this is just like when parents left cookies and milk on Christmas eve and remove it next morning to stage that the Santa Claus came to their house. Or these days parents could even buy a kit full of Santa's personal stuff like Santa Claus Driving License ID. Parents could buy these kits and left 'traces' that Santa came to the house. Of course, when children found these traces, they really believe Santa Claus was here! Now the question is: Is this moral (or is it ethical?) from a business point of view? Should business engage in these business - providing service and good that let parent stage that Santa Claus is real? What's your personal opinion?
Where do they film the Toronto Santa Claus Parade? I want to bring my son to the Santa Claus Parade in Toronto and I've always seen them showing the babies and little kids on tv. Most of my family live in other cities around Canada and would be thrilled if they saw him on tv. Does anyone know where on the route they do the filming?? And does anyone know how early is the best time to get there to see? He's only 9 months, so I want him to be able to see.
