Ahhh but you see whether or not one believes in Santa Claus is the same as whether or not one believes in the magic of life, angels, fairies.... if one becomes angry it is because they have attached expectations to their beliefs and just simply believing is not enough... believe in whatever makes you laugh, smile and feel good.

As I grow older, with time, I discovered that I have severe allergy to nonsense. Also I’m running out of patience, as if certain patience allowance, which was given to me at birth is running low. There’s less, and less time.. I have such a hunger for knowledge, life.. all of which can satisfy with reading. It’s like living several lives in different places, times , whilst still being me. So how very pathetic does that news sound ? Oh , no ! Santa does not exist! Well, who cares sir ? Does elf or goblin? How about Hannibal Lecter? Do we feel unsafe because Count Dracula is walking the streets of London? Get life, start reading and stop seeking people’s attention making ridiculous statements.

I was really upset that grade school teachers made us line up and drop our letters to Santa in a real mailbox. They made us believe something that they knew wasn't real.
As an adult, there is evidence of God's existence all around us. We are too much of a miracle for there not to be God. And at least this is something I have chosen to believe from my own intellect and from my own feelings.
The point that I was simply trying to impart is believe in whatever brings you happiness. I most certainly am not trying to compare God to Santa Claus ! Every person is. Unique and has the right to see magic in life or not?
