quotations about Santa Claus
We all ought to understand we're on our own. Believing in Santa Claus doesn't do kids any harm for a few years but it isn't smart for them to continue waiting all their lives for him to come down the chimney with something wonderful. Santa Claus and God are cousins.

She felt that it was not the responsibility of the educational system to make sure that by the age of twelve, a student has a clear enough understanding of reality to be able to figure out that Santa Claus is a myth.

Santa Claus is Alive and Well and Living on Wall Street
Get ready for a theory that will blow your mind. Ready? Okay. The whole "Santa coming down the chimney" thing is clearly just a muggle conspiracy to cover up the fact that Santa is a wizard traveling by floo powder.

Under a welfare state there is always the danger that adults as well as children will believe in Santa Claus.

Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus!... There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.
FRANCIS P. CHURCH
New York Sun, September 21, 1897
I'm a middle-aged man and I still 100% believe in the power of Santa Claus. Those who don't should find something more important to worry about, rather than trying to spoil the fun for billions of children and adults.

"Santa Claus is a phenomenal imagination driver. Leave him alone", The Guardian, November 30, 2016
The whole concept of some stranger making his way down our chimney -- not that we had one -- suggested burglary more readily than generosity. Any Santa who tried it would have gotten a bullet in his holly, jolly keister.

Santa Claus had the right idea. Visit people only once a year.
VICTOR BORGE
attributed, Quick Quotations
Santa Claus is more than a mythical figure, living in the North Pole with reindeer and happy industrious elves. The commercialization of Christmas, exacerbated by things like the obnoxious Elf on the Shelf and hissy fits over the colors and patterns of Starbucks cups, are symptoms of a culture missing the meaning and purpose of the season. The real Santa is completely in line with celebrating an authentic Christian Christmas. Modern pop culture has turned Santa into a figure almost completely removed from his origins, and it's time to go back to the beginning and remember the real Saint Nick.

"Why Santa Claus Without Jesus Is Cultural Appropriation At Its Stupidest", The Federalist, December 6, 2016
The myth of Santa has grown to gigantic proportions. He is able to know all, to judge each and every child, to make reindeer fly and do all these things at the North Pole! Obviously Santa has slowly taken the place of God, doing things which only God can do. Unfortunately, this "god" is a legalistic "god," dispensing gifts only upon those who deserve them.

Oliver's Strange Journey
Just one Santa delivery team? How could there be? There are 526,403,012 children, all expecting presents before tomorrow morning. So, that's 22 million children per hour. It's impossible. Obviously, I got a second sled.

"Last Christmas", Doctor Who
To say there is no Santa Claus is the most erroneous statement in the world. Santa Claus is a thought that is passed from generation to generation. After time this thought takes on a human form. Maybe if all children and adults understand the symbolism of this thought we can actually attain Peace on Earth and good will to men everywhere.

"Santa Claus Oath"
Christmas is always a problem to the man who has to convince his kids that there is a Santa Claus, and his wife that there isn't.

My heart breaks for the day I had to explain my mistakes
And the mask goes away and Santa Claus is fake
JAY-Z

Ultimately, Santa is here to teach us about giving unconditionally. That's why he visits so many children. But when kids get older they don't need him as much because they have already learned the lesson and have started giving to others just as Santa gave to them.

When I found out that Santa Claus wasn't real, I wasn't upset; rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same night! The story had been getting pretty complicated -- it was getting out of hand.

What Do You Care What Other People Think?
The devil has a demon,
His name is Santa Claus.
He's a dirty old demon
Because of last year's flaws.
He promised Jack a yo-yo,
And Jill a diamond ring.
They woke up on Christmas morning
Without a single thing ...
One day they'll stand before God
Without their bag of tricks.
Without their red-nosed reindeer
Or their phony old Saint Nicks;
For Revelation twenty-one,
Verse eight, tells where they'll go:
Condemned to everlasting hell,
Where they'll be no Ho! Ho! Ho!
