    It's understandable about where the story comes from, and the limit to the purpose of Santa Clause. So it really doesn't matter. You have to grow up sometime and realize that important things go beyond Santa Clause. Getting presents isn't all that great sometimes, and Christmas isn't really that wonderful.

    Well, you show me how without breaking laws of physics, he could visit every house in the world, within a 24 hour period.

    Let's assume every house is, say, 10 meters apart (allowing for high density, and the oceans). Now, there are 6 billion people in the world roughly, so, lets say, on average 3 people a house, so, we've got currently, 20billion meters. Now, let's say Santa takes, hmm, 5 seconds at every house, to stop, drop off the presents, and take off again, so, 10 billion seconds. But first, hang on, 60sec * 60mins * 24hrs = 86400, oh dear, lets say he takes, hmm, 86,000/10,000,000,000 of a second at each house (dam quick if you ask me) Plus, lets say he moves at teh speed of light to each house, so, 300,000,000/10 = 30,000,000 houses a second travel time. so, 66.6 seconds to do that. Mind you, he'd have a infinite weight to move.

    Well, santa does not exist, but it is up to people all around the world to believe that there is santa. It is just imagination. If saint nicolas is true, then no idea.

    I think is like a story, like sherlock holmes or something like that. Its your choice if you believe it or not

    Has there ever been one case where a parent hasnt left a present by the chimney but one appeared from santa? (and wasnt proven to be from a friend or neighbor or family member)

    you should be more specific as to why. If your proving to your kids, open your closet and show them all the gifts marked "from santa" and let them help put them under three in the middle of the night. If you're trying to prove to yourself.......I cant help you

    Santa is real, he exists for every person as a different entity, usually being someones parents. People receive gifts from a 'santa' even though he his not real, however he is real through someone else because his actions come true.

    It cannot technically be proven. In fact, we were discussing this in my biological anthropology class: a belief is something that cannot be put to a scientific test; that's why it is a belief.

    You can't prove a negative.
