Poor Pilot 03, I'm so sorry you had to hear it that way.
Personaly though I found out when I was five, but it wasn't really that hard of a blow! I remember my mom telling me not to tell any of the other kids at school because it would make them sad, and boy did it ever. Ha ha! I loved preschool, we were all so ignorant.
He's not "Dead" dead. Just dead to the people without christmas spirit. He lives on forever in every child's heart and believer's heart. And no Santa is not Jesus.
I thought that Santa was a fictional character? I heard this somewhere (can't remember where though). But I lost my Santa fixation when I was real young.
"I'm a bookworm. Reading fan-fics for fun. I'm a boo-ook-worm. Let me read now, so give me more." - Parody of "I'm a Virgin" by Madonna.
Please--- Santa is alive and well in the North Pole with all his little elves slaving away on wooden horses and cotton dolls. Don't believe whoever these people are who told you that Santa was ever dead.
You see--- what happens is, when the 'old' Santa gets to the point of wanting to retire he picks a man, pure of heart, to be deemed the 'new' Santa. The 'old' Santa travels to the mystical land of alternate universes where he sucked into a black hole where he then is placed in the land of St. Nick--- where all the previous Santa's sunbathe on a tropical beach full of scantily clad woman who serve them tropical drinks.
So there's no need to worry--- Santa is alive and well. Drinking his fruity drinks, and surfing away on all the best waves.
Anyways--- Heero:
If you were a goat bent on taking over the world's dairy supplies by stealing all the dairy cows. Where you (Mr. Goat) then have all the cows milked so that you can flood all the capitals around the world with Dairy milk (to frame the dairy cows for the destruction caused by floods of their own milk). Thereby making it so the only dairy products people will buy are the ones made by goat milk (like fetta cheese) therefore you (Mr. Goat) become the CEO/President of the world's supply of dairy products. If you were this goat--- where in the world would your hideout be?

Santa's dead?!? Wow, I'm really glad I didn't know you guys when I was a kid! Talk about shattering my active elementary school imagination. What do you think about Santa, Heero? Did you even know who he was when you were little? Did you believe in the magic of Santa?
Santa's not dead cause he didn't live to start with. Santa's just a cute character made to be loved by little kiddies.
...
Did I sound mean or something? Sorry, just cause when I was a kid, "Santa" never gave me what I wrote for. And I grew accustomed watching TV and seeing all those shows that prove Santa's not real...
As for all this santa non-sense...
Saint Nicholas was a real man who would drop small bags of money and toys in front of poor homes. The myth was stretched to keep the Christmas spirit alive, even though Saint Nicolas did these acts of kindness all year round.
Santa Clause evolved from the name Saint Nicolas. Saint Nicolas --> Saintni Colas --> Sainti Colause --> Santa Clause.
Teaching your kids about this tradition can be a tough disicion.
**pilot03 don't look**
I was trained to be mature at a very young age, so even though they tried to put the idea of anta into my mind to help give me more of a childhood life, I was to cleaver by then to believe it.
Discovering the falsehood of "Santa" can have sme dramatic effects to some children. Or not finding it out in time, leading them to be made fun of.
But it can go both ways, the single kid who ruins it for everyone is also not a fun possision to be in. And even though it is used to keep kids n thier place... it never works until about a week before Christmas. You might as well say YOU won't give them presents if they are bad.
It's really your decision, each family has their differant ways. If Relena and I were to have a child, she would probably not allow our child to believe in this. I don't care either way, but I would probably go against Sants aswell.
As a warning for all of you.... the next few paragraphs will be pure BS, to amuse pilot03...
**now you can read again, 03**
As I was saying, Pilot03, Santa is real and will give you a present.
While on one of my missions, I crash landed Zero in the North Pole. I was badly bruised and left to freeze in the cold. Just then reindeer approached me and a shodowy figure appeared. He was dressed in red and white. But by then I had passed out.
I woke up hours later in a warm cabin being bandaged up by elves. It was December 24th. I needed to get back to my base. The jolly Chris Cringle gave me a ride in his sleigh. We dropped presents off then he left me at the hanger, with my precious Wing Zero put back together with many upgrades and angel wings. And that's my story of Wing Zero Custom and my fun ride with Santa.
Now that all the Christmas junk is over, I can go back to answering regular questions.

What do you think about Santa, Heero? Did you even know who he was when you were little? Did you believe in the magic of Santa?
