I believe in Santa Clause, because he never visits me. And I deserve it... 
There was a contest in my school. One of the tests was to answer a question, but don't use the "no" word. One of the questions was "do you belive in santa?".
Yeah thats SO hard. "I do not belive in santa".
But nah, Santa rocks. One year he gave me an entire lump of coal.

There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau).
At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second.
This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house.
Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks.
This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a Poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself.
On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them, Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). 600,000 tons
Traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance-this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.
Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs.
Merry Christmas.
That is why I don't believe in Santa

I'm enlightened. But isn't why they hire all those clones?! The ones that let you sit on their laps... 
I thought it was Santa Claus? I only know the +e spelling from the silly Tim Allen movie "The Santa Clause."
This theory does imply that there is only one santa...
And we all know that Santa is the inventor of the cloning device.
So in the future we will all be talking of santa clauses instead of just one.

Perhaps clausE is the plural of claus 
So I do believe in santa clause but not in santa claus... That sounds like a reasonable explaination.

I didnt even see your post, I posted at the same time as you ;P
I wonder why can't you foreigners just call him the christmas goat, like we do. :/
Santa is cool, but I don't believe in him.
But I don't have anything against presents, though

Maybe because, unlike you Fins, the rest of the world isn't quite as keen on beastiality.
The man does have a point...
Believe in Santa, NO. Believe in that alcoholic in the red suit that has kids sit on his lap all day at the mall... YES 
My children are 11, 9, 8, and 4.
They don't buy into the cookie bit anymore, but something keeps nibbling the carrots every year. Until they give me coal, I'm a believer.
