Maybe I'm getting more cynical with time but this story doesn't really hang together. He lives at the North Pole but his workshop is in Lapland? That's over 2000 miles away: maybe that's just bad planning but this whole flying around the world in one night and going to billions of houses? Seems unlikely. Also if he's providing all these presents why do they cost a fortune every year?

C'mon Teddy, presents are expensive because he has to pay to feed all his elfs & feed the reindeer. Also he only visits 'christian' homes because the rest of the world doesn't recognise Santa Claus, and he only visits homes with children in them . . . Simples 🙂

I'm beginning to have my doubts too.
The fact that my parents both claimed to have seen him & after over 50 years on this earth, I still haven't.
I'm now thinking they were lying to me after all.

There you go. He must be moving at a fair old lick to make all his deliveries but even so...a 20 stone bloke...red suit...big white beard...reindeer on the roof...you'd think you'd catch a glimpse once in a while. The postman has none of those and I see him all the time.

If you want proof, Ireland has a Santa Tracking service - I think it's even shown on the news. But not really sure why any proof is required. Has he not done enough film and TV appearances?
There's loads of proof that Santa exists. If you want to question an actual person exists, look no further than Banksy. Clearly an invention.

Can they be compared? Father Christmas and some graffiti artist with a stencil? Appearances in films is pretty convincing evidence but John Wayne was in loads of films but he hasn't been in one for ages. Is he real too?

Come on, do you think someone else goes round eating all those cookies and drinking all that milk? It's not really feasible for it to be anyone other than Santa. You're falling victim to conspiracy theories.
As for John Wayne - he doesn't even drink milk, lactose intolerant. And Banksy - that's just a myth used by companies to sell stuff. Oh look, this drawing that popped up overnight is worth a couple of million - yeah right. You can fool some people sometimes.

He was generally quite intolerant.
An old man with a weight problem shouldn't be eating several tons of biscuits.
