SANTA CLAUS QUOTES III
quotations about Santa Claus
My heart breaks for the day I had to explain my mistakes
And the mask goes away and Santa Claus is fake
JAY-Z
"4:44"
I think Santa Claus is, by and large, quite beneficial, for when the child is finally allowed -- or forced -- to recognize the nonexistence of Santa Claus, then the child is able to go through the vital intellectual process of reconstructing reality in light of new evidence, complete with back-forming new stories to account for past events. This prepares the child for many other disillusionments and gives her vital and well-supported experience in maintaining her grip on reality independent of the stories told to her at any given time.

Can you remember when Christmas was so simple that one Santa Claus could work an entire town?

We half-eat cookies and drink the milk, we leave notes, all so kids will believe in something that isn't true. Kids try their best to scientifically determine whether Santa's real and our whole culture feeds them false evidence. We dupe them.

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"
Of course Santa is dead, you force a guy to eat a billion cookies in one night, what do you think is going to happen?

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.

So Santa Claus is bogus but Grim Reapers are the genuine article. What does that say about the world?
MINDEE ARNETT
The Nightmare Charade
Don't hang me up Santa lay some toys on me
Sock it to me Santa you know where it's at
Sock it to me Santa I want a baseball bat
Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag
I say come on Dancer, come on Prancer
A brand new Santa's got to be the answer
Come on Comet, and come on Cupid
Don't just stand there lookin' stupid
BOB SEGER
"Sock It To Me Santa"
Ho, ho, ho
Santa's comin' back, around
So get ready
Christmastime is my favorite part of the year
'Cause ah, there's a lot of love in the air
And holiday cheer

OLIVER MARKUS

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
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.
ANDY ROONEY
Sincerely, Andy Rooney
Just think about it: Santa Claus is an imaginary figure who lives in the North Pole with no visible means of support. He is a 300 pound man who is supposed to be able to descend through a narrow chimney flue with a sack of toys on his back as a reward to good boys and girls. Someone has noted that Santa Claus flies in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer led by Rudolph with his nasal nightlight. At least Santa has fairly nonpolluting transportation.
WILLIAM H. GODDARD
Just Say the Words
God put Santa Claus on earth to remind us that Christmas is 'sposed to be a happy time.
BIL KEANE
Jeffy's Lookin' at Me
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.
PADRAIG COLLINS
"Santa Claus is a phenomenal imagination driver. Leave him alone", The Guardian, November 30, 2016
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.

20,000 Quips & Quotes
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!

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.

Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
