There have always been skeptics who say “Santa is not real.” This, of course, is nonsense. Santa Clause is very much real, but people consider him fake because everyone has been misinformed who Santa really is.
Most have always thought of Santa as an old guy in a red suit who puts presents under the Christmas tree. Now this may be true, but that’s not all Santa is. Santa represents the spirit of giving and has caused countless boys and girls to behave well in order to be placed on the “nice list.” Santa represents the magic of Christmas that too many have forgotten. Santa is not just about the man who drives the sleigh, but instead, he is a figure that represents all of Christmas.
Some people make the mistake of telling children at a young age that Santa is not real. These people don’t realize that they are depriving children from the magic of Christmas. Everyone can remember the magic of Christmas morning and running to see what Santa had waiting for them. By ruining the belief in Santa, the parents are robbing children of wonderful childhood memories.
Believe it or not, Santa can still be found in children on Christmas morning; in the cookies we set out with family and the memories of the holidays remembered forever. Essentially, Santa is the spirit of Christmas and he is real. As long as there are people who truly believe in the spirit of Christmas, there will be a Santa.
