He is God's right hand man. If you believe in the one then surely you must believe in the other.

Of course Santa exists!! He just sent me a video message ....

http://www.portablenorthpole.com

Seriously folks, this is a great little site for sending a personalised Santa video to your loved ones, little or grown up. Totally reinforces the fact Santa exists, is alive and well, and knows all about you!

I was about 10. We moved to a new house without a chimmney. My dad said Santa would come through the front door which would be left open. I heard my dad close the door about 10.00 pm. :(

We hang up a magic key...

The really magic thing about the key is we hang it up inside.

Kids are so ****ing stupid aren't they.

I never knew that the inflatable boat I had on holiday had just been replaced by Dad when it got a hole. He told me he'd had it laser-sealed so I wouldn't see the damage.

When I was awoken by noise from the lounge & snuck downstairs hoping to see Santa eating his mince pie and Rudolph eating his carrot and instead saw him shagging mum. Cheeky git didn't even leave me my dream Johnny 7 machine gun after he'd emptied his sacks

Aged 7. A schoolfriend told me, but I wasn't upset. Think I just felt like I was in on the secret.

Just tell her.

Last thing she needs it to tell kids in January what Santa brought her only to get laughed at...

well I know that her friend who is 10 has told her Santa isn't real, I just think she still likes the thought that he is.

You didn't realise that the boat was gone and instead you were afloat on your dad? I know you said he was a bit big, but...

And you said kids were stupid?

That took how long to think up?

Madness how you can write something meaning one thing for someone else to (deliberately here, but good example) read it as if you mean something entirely different.

I negotiate contracts for a living. I'm never suprised at how people manage to twist words into meanings that were never contemplated, are out of context, and that you couldn't possibly imagine if you sat on a stone for three years (which is an equally obtuse Japanese proverb). :D

Madness isn't it.

I sent a joke email to my mum (a family joke) and she went ****ing spare at me....after my sister and gran had replied laughing.

Maybe it was the shame.

Proverb - even if you sat on a stone for three years you wouldn't work it out?

Yep. But why 3 years? Why not 2, or 4? Or 1? And why a stone? So many questions. I couldn't fathom it even if I sat on a ...

Shit.

Why not just accept it at face value?
