Whether Santa’s real name is Santa Claus or Kris Kringle or another name is up for debate.
What we do know is that Santa Claus is a jolly man, filled with joy and happiness.
The question of whether Santa Claus is real comes up a lot. The short answer is yes, Santa is real.
But there’s more to it. The long answer is that belief is a very strong thing. Unfortunately, some people don’t believe in Santa because they have never seen him. But just because you haven’t seen something, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
