Is Santa Claus Real?

[Bob Abooey]

Duh?

Santa is real. Cased closed. Wanna know my sources? I saw Santa with my own eyes! Plus the giddiness I get in my heart when I see paintings of him is undeniable!

 

[Cloudby Skytoucher]

During the wild hunt he cursed his enemies, blessed the worthy. He granted wishes. One of his other names being Óski, or wish granter.

This is why saint nicholas and his gift giving was used to replace him, in a Christianized version.

He most certainly did not "grant wishes", unless you mean in the monkey's paw sense of the word. If you helped the wild hunt you got a cursed gift that you had to try and get rid of by giving the dude salt the next year.

Frankly the best argument against it, though, is the fact that Scandis do not have Santa Claus like we do. They deliver presents door-to-door, not via Santa Claus dropping them down the chimney. If it was really derived from Nordic Paganism, it would be more prevalent over there than it is here. Unless you're one of those people deluded enough to believe Americans "keep muh traditions alive", that frankly makes it an open and shut case.

Yes, Satna Klause is real. How else could he be in my avatar, watching your every shitpost and calculating your naughty/nice score?

Santa Claus is Real. You just weren't good enough as a kid to get presents from Santa so your parents had to buy presents, address them from Santa, lie to your face for over a decade, even going so far as to hiring a professional actor to play Santa in case you stayed up late.

The same basic principle is why your parents also faked:

• Tooth Fairy Visits (you never brushed your teeth or they kept the gold coins the tooth fairies actually leave for themselves)
• Easter Egg Hunts (Easter Bunnies were hunted to extinction by Nativen Americans)
• Trick Or Treating (They pay the neighbors to give you candy even though nobody likes you)
• 4th of July Fireworks (Sheltering you from the annual alien invasion)
• Losing Your Virginity (Was actually a rich pedophile who underwent plastic surgery and re-imbursed your parents the thousands of dollars wasted on your happiness - you actually fucked a fleshlight that was surgically-grafted into his ass)
• 9/11 (They need you to die for their 401K's)

Uh NORAD literally tracks him every year, would the government lie??

 

[Paranoia Machine]

I heard if you kill Santa and steal his coat you take his job, wife, and you own the elves too. Good option for those in-between jobs right now.

This is true, but you gain all of his addictions, ailments and fetishes as well.

So it's it's good job if you can get through the type 2 diabetes, and sex + heroin addictions.

The things people do with father christmas and what scandis and the dutch and belgians do, are mostly customs that derived from odin and yule.

Not sure how a single german book from the 70s about german folklore is supposed to be the final word on this.

Yeah, he gave gifts, weapons and such, and this was so he could later harvest them for his army of the dead and have them fight for him.

Once when I was in secondary school, in the big Christmas whole school assembly one of the science teachers listed all the scientific/mathematical reasons why Santa couldn’t possibly be real. I think she was hoping we would all think she was really smart and be like “wow, I heckin love science!” but in reality she made some year 7s cry and the rest of us thought she was cringe for trampling one of the last vestiges of their childhood.

 

[Pine Tar]

Of course he’s real! Who else can fly around the world at the speed of light and deliver presents to every good boy and girl? His job has probably been a lot easier in the past decade or so, I believe though.

 

[C4-621]

You know he's real because he has to check his list twice, he has flaws just as we mere mortals have.

 

[Drip Torch]

How come no one is giving their appreciation for Mrs. Claus? I hear she is thicc and cozy.

 

[Desu Mountain]

I want Santa to give me back the teeth the Tooth Fairy stole from me when I was a child.

EDIT: okay, technically she did pay for them, but I still want them back.

 

[Hermann von Salsa]

Of course he's real.


Saint Nicholas born in Anatolia around 270 AD, He would go on to be known as the patron saint of gift-giving and prostitutes. as legend would have it, he would toss bags of coin through a window to three poor women to save them forced prostitution.

 

[GET!]

This is why the festive season is already over. Enjoy presents, Santa-child.

 

[Alaina's Rotdog]

I know what's not real, black Santa.

In fact it's basically reverse Santa, he breaks into your homes and steals your presents.

 

[innocent jogger]

Santa Claus conquered the fucking Martians. Are we going to deny this!?!

 

[retard strength II]

Saw some loser retard arguing online that he won't get "cucked" by letting his kids think Santa brought them presents when it was his work and money that bought them. This joyless and selfish mentality is what truly cucks him. Santa wins every year, just embrace the joy!

 

[Air support]

Saint Nick was real and existed a few hundred years ago but no longer exists.

Santa was shot down and killed over the Persian Gulf in 1986 by the USS Thomas S. Gates. But it was covered up by the DOD and CIA to avoid international condemnation. Santa has been dead for decades the CIA delivers presents each year to cover up this fact.

Curious if people who have kids or who plan to have kids what their opinion is on the SQ. (Santa question). Would you keep it up and when would you reveal the facade?

When I was a child, my mum basically answered my question of Santa being real at around 3/4 honestly (I just asked questions about stuff endlessly). So I don't ever remember believing in Santa.

I do vaguely remember an incident in early education where I basically ruined it for most of my class and also thought my teacher was really dumb as she insisted he was real, not realising she was just trying to save the magic, not that she genuinely believed in it.

I've also seen the flipside of it, had two friends (I was sworn to not reveal it to them) who kept believing probably longer than they should. They actually got angry and said their mum was lying when they were told.

So I'm honestly a little torn. It seems fun but at the same time I think in current time's learning how to know some truth and realise that it can wiser to bite your tongue is itself a valuable skill to teach Curious what people's own perspective is.
