The greatest trick Santa ever pulled was to convince the world he doesn't exist.

"No."

Hello!

He's as real as you want him to be.

Yes, all 13 of them, are real.

Yes, and just do all the weird crap he asks or else.

Say yes, and leave presents for your kids while they're distracted "looking" for santa, that's how my old squad used to do it

What is the best answer to the question “Is Santa real?”

"i found him and i shot him dead. He won't be bothering you anymore, you can rest easy now. You're welcome."

Crazy thing is... dude was/is actually real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas

St. Nikolaus of Myra was very real. He famously bitchslapped a guy at the Council of Nicea (though some tellings exaggerate it and say he outright decked the guy).

He was renowned for his charity and as a patron protector of childrne. He was known to sneak out at night to drop bags of gold down the chimneys or through the windows of the impoverished. Some of which might have ended up in laundry hung to dry by the fireplace. He was not accompanied by any magical elves, but a moorish slave boy named Pete whom he freed faithfully stayed with him to help.

According to Dutch tradition, he sailed across the Mediterranean to the low countries to bestow blessings, rather than flying with caribou. The man was from what is now Southern Turkey, so he probably had no idea what reindeer or caribou are, and was probably fairly dark skinned.

Incidentally, the alternate name "Kris Kringle" comes from the German "Kristkindle," because they believed that rather any any particular saint, it was literally the Baby Jesus flying around like a putto, bestowing gifts and blessings.

He murdered Arius.

No, just the elves are. They wander the polar wastes, hungering for the flesh of children.

He used to be but passed away peacefully back in '22

Yes, through the spirit of Saint Nicholas or Coca-Cola.

One of the best bits of Hideo Kojima lore is that Big Boss genuinely believed in Santa, and after he killed The Boss, he no longer received any gifts, contributing to his slow descent to being the villain in the two original games.
