Is Santa real? This is the one question that everyone asks at some point in their life. I have been asking this for a long time. But I kept telling myself that he was real because I wanted him to be real. The magical tale of Santa going to every house in one night and leaving you presents was one of the most magical things and to know that was real was something magical.
But secretly, I had a small feeling that Santa was not real. Every year I would see more kids stop believing in Santa and I felt like I was standing in a world of darkness which kept on getting darker and darker each year. But I still was not ready to say that Santa was not real. I still wanted that little bit of magic in my life during the last month of the year where all of my worries would disappear for a minute and all I could see was Santa getting ready for Christmas up at the North Pole.
But I knew one day the day would come where I would be told that Santa wasn't real and I would join everyone in the world of darkness where I could not hop into Santa’s magical world and be swept away in his sled around the world.
This day came one rainy November day when I was in 9th grade. I was in high school. My world had turned upside down by change and

But not like we thought. Santa is not one person who has a sled and give presents to everyone in one night. Santa is a flower that grows in everyone that gets a little bigger each year. This flower gives you the power to give to others, to spread joy, and do everything that Santa can do during the holiday season. So yes Santa is real because you are Santa, everyone is Santa. Everyone had a flower in them that will blossom in their mind garden that gives you the powers you always wanted at Christmas time. It is the one flower in your garden that stands out in your garden and seems to get a little bigger each year. That is the Christmas Flower and this flower makes that dark world colorful and
After living with Santa for years and years, he was no longer a human, but one of Santa's many elfs...and the tallest one at that.
Children everywhere wish to follow in the footsteps of Peter Pan and never grow up. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is found only within the confines of fiction. In the short story, “To Every Thing There Is a Season”, by Alistair Macleod, the protagonist craves just that, to not grow up. He holds on to his belief in Santa Claus as tightly as he can. Alistair is on the cusp of maturity, and not quite ready to take the leap. The theme in this short story is that while some cling to childhood, there is no escaping growing up. This is revealed through the symbolism of Santa, the character Alistair, and the plot of this story.
One night, Santa Clause was delivering gifts at an orphanage. One of the toddlers at the orphanage wakes up and climbs out of his crib. “BANG” he fell on the ground and started to crawl towards Santa Clause gift sack. Buddy starts his journey once he got into Santa’s gift sack. Santa did not realize that a toddler snuck into his gift sack. Santa arrives back to The North Pole, and the elves and him hear something moving in the sack. A second later a baby crawls out of the gift sack.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — Many local families battled the cold for a chance to visit with Santa Clause Saturday. Sleigh bells were ringing at the Market Square Mall in Lafayette.
Santa is known for his gift and wish granting abilities. Over the years, countless children have had wishes granted by the Jolly Elf. But, none of those wishes are as powerful as the one professional Santa portrayer Eric Schmitt-Matzen was able to grant for a young, terminally ill child in Tennessee.
The mystery of the jolly good man in he red suit. Flying high in the sky at night on his reindeer driven sleigh. Inside is a magical bag full of endless gifts for every little boy and girl in the world. Have you been good this year? On one special night to deliver them all. How does he do it? That is a mystical adventure I would love to know.
The author paints a whole scene with Santa dying: Santa falls down on his “jelly belly” (16) and “he can’t breathe, and the beautiful white world he loves goes black” (13-15), this portrays that Santa is dead. Santa’s world is black because he is somewhere far, far away. His world is black because he is empty because the people who used to love and keep him going disappeared, they don’t believe him anymore. Since the grownups obviously know that Santa’s a fake, every time a kid gets “enlightened” about the “truth”, Santa experiences emptiness and dies because he’s dead to the nonbeliever’s heart… The author also portrays the reaction from Santa’s family about his
Santa Claus must exist. How else would you describe this change in the way humans interact during these otherwise dreary winter months? Santa Claus is the catalyst of human goodness, sparking within us a genuine care for our neighbor, bringing us together for this wonderful season. Think of a world without Santa Claus!
The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Boogeyman, and Santa Claus, what do all of these have in common? For me, it is the innocence of a child. Children seem to be more gullible and believe anything you tell them; they do not know the difference between a lie and the truth. During the Christmas of 2003, I was five years old and still believed in Santa Claus. The fact of believing in Santa Claus expresses the innocence of a child and brings the magic to Christmas.
For me for something to be real i must be able to touch the object.i must be able to see it and believe in it. For example, a best friend and Santa clause. when it comes to a best friend i see everyday, i know it is real because i see that person every day, we talk about girls we watch movies we even spend countless of hours playing video games. I can also trust in my friend, believe in him with any secrets I may throw his way. These qualities and attribute i find in my friend lead me to believe he is real. However, Link from The Legend of Zelda, i know who he is from the video games, i see him whenever i turn on the game and play, but i cannot touch him, and i don't believe in him to be there if i were to ever need him.
In 2005, ten-year-old Belle Adams had her dreams crushed after learning the truth about Santa Claus. Her mother, Nicki Adams, admitted to lying about Santa Claus being real. Belle never felt so betrayed. She reacts by writing an offensive note and sliding the note under her mother’s door. The note read, “You have no idea what you just did. I really tried to believe. Everyone told me it’s your parents. I can’t believe you anymore. Is the Easter bunny real, how about the tooth fairy, huh? You just ruined a 10-year-old child’s Life! Thanks! Nothing will make me feel better because you lied to me about something I Loved that Broke my Heart!” As we all know, Santa Claus is the one of the most famous mythologies of all time. Every Christmas Eve,
In the year 2008, I received my first elf for Christmas. Her name was Snowflake and she appeared with my brothers’ elves and my mom’s old childhood elf, Duende. She’s so beautiful with her velvet green dress, red and white striped tights with green velvet elf shoes with tiny bells. Every year after Thanksgiving, my elves would arrive. I have about twelve elves because I take such good care of them that Santa sends me his elves. Our family elves are extremely mischievous and do tricks every day during the Christmas Holidays. It is my favorite time of the year. Every morning as soon as I wake up, I run downstairs to see what mischievous things my elves have done. They are very smarting, witty and extremely creative. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas carols, decorating the house with my mom, baking cookies for Santa, the smell of pine from the Christmas tree and opening presents Christmas morning.
Santa Claus is the one thing children believe in unfailingly. I mean, the exact gifts they want for Christmas always appear under the tree overnight, and for a child the only explanation is magic. But in today’s world of over parenting, the
Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love seeing the shinny Christmas lights that decorates my street and the sound of fresh fallen snow on the ground. Christmas reminds me of family, the laughter and loved we shared, and the gifts we gave to each other. My house on Christmas became the center of my joy.
One of the modern mythological people is Santa. The Santa Clause story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century. The legend can be traced back to hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nichola was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern day Turkey. Nicholas became the subject of many later told legends. It is said that St. Nicholas gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping out the poor and the sick. One of St. Nicholas’s best story is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their
