Santa is REAL! An ATS look at Santa

My mother emphatically insists she saw Santa as a child having cookies with her father when she snuck out of bed as a child on Christmas Eve. The next morning, large snow boot and reindeer prints were found in the snow on their lawn as well, along with what appeared to be sled tracks.

She is not prone to confabulation or false memories. Thus I consider her a creditable observer and witness. There is always the possibility that this was a ruse on the part of her parents, or a dream, and as such it should be treated with skepticism and critical thought. However I felt it necessary to throw my evidenciary two cents into the hat.

Peace.

Santa? I know him! I know him!

My used to wake up with footprints in our fireplace ash too. Then one year my dad put an addition on the house, and i had a freakout because we had to remove the fireplace due to some code. I cried for like a week.

After all the doom & gloom this made me laugh...Thank you

S&F
Photos please

i know he was real! thanks for posting something on the lighter side

Next your gonna tell me Elvis is alive, and He is the current santa.
UFO's are all experimental aircraft, and alien abductions are the ongoing supermen experiments of NAZI germany....

No waaaay man

Santa only uses majic...

Of course i'm real.

Of course he's real..... I don't make wooden toys for just any old employer. He pays well too, plus a company Sleigh to boot. Have a Great Yule Time ATSers one and all.

I really enjoyed reading this. Thank goodness you believe, because these days I felt (besides my kids) I was the only adult who DID!

The problem is, Why do adults not believe in Santa, if their kids are getting gifts that they didnt buy for them and cant be traced to friends and family buying?

I believe that the person (in spirit) of Father Christmas aka Santa is indeed real, but for other reasons which would take too long to go into and explain fully right at this point, but needless to saty, indeed there is a Santa, yes.

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa!

I heard santa was a mushroom. True story bro.

secrets of Santa Claus

The ancient shamans such as the koyak peoples of russia used to collect mushrooms, dry them by hanging them on trees, then load them into a sack and deliver them on their sled pulled by reindeer. That time of year the snow has covered the walls of the yurts (houses) so the shaman climbs through the smoke hole in the roof.

Hit the nail right on the head. i believe there is more evidence supporting this claim than a real santa using mile high antennas. please dont just post a story. support your claim with evidence, or at least a youtube link lol.
wait...unless im in the short story section
EDIT: Sadly i am not

Simple. As i kid i would go to the poorest neighborhoods in Colombia and give all my toys away, completely anonymous. Left em right by the door. See, generosity isnt a magical being or conspiracy. Its part of human nature.

The elves are real actually. It's just they're not really elves in the classical sense, they're actually greys.

I have always believed that Santa Clause existed, it was due to an episode
in my Sister's life many years ago.
She's in her 70's now, and she KNOWS he exists.

A couple of days before Christmas Day, at the grand age of seven, she announced
that she felt that this 'Father Christmas'-thing was all false and that my parents placed
the gifts under the tree.

On the day, she scoured the floor under the baubles for her goodies and only found one
parcel, one present wrapped poorly.
Inside was a lump of coal.

I know that these days, most parents would see it as a lesson-learned and then produce
the real gifts... but no. My Sister never received anything else that Yuletide day.

So now, all these years later, I and my big-Sis believe... really believe in the kind-old man.

Ah now the santa story makes sense

You never explained how he gets down the chimney though.lol

To complete his task in six months Santa would have to visit about sixty dwellings a second.

I don't know anything about relativity bubbles, but Santa must be one hella bad mofo....
not to mention his toy making Elves.

Do the Elves get relativity bubbles as well? 'Cause, if not, I don't want them anywhere
near my family

You're assuming everyone is listed as 'nice'. But even so, with it taking the nano builders all night to build the presents, how many kids would actually get presents?

As someone mentioned, why do the parents not question why their kid received a gift that wasn't from them? I mean, someone had to have been in the house for it to be under the tree.

Also, I suppose African kids are listed as naughty, since we never hear of them getting mysterious gifts.

OP, I thought it was a funny little post, don't get me wrong. Just pointing out some of the flaws to your theory (maybe there will be an update).

Are you an elf?

That gave me a little chuckle

it's completely believeable as well,a very well written thought out thread..santa has tech we will never see i would imagine.
i always though when he delivered the gifts he stopped time or something..the relitivity bubble is probably the better way of doing it..
