Questions About Santa Claus

Where does Santa Claus come from? Who is the real Santa? You know when you go to a Christmas program and you ask Santa what you want for Christmas? Sometimes you ask yourself, "Who is the real Santa? Who comes to my house?" They have wigs and costumes at stores.

I had a dream about one night on Christmas when Santa would come to my house. I would wake up and Santa would show me his driver's license. Santa comes from Lapland. Lapland is in Europe. I wonder, if I lived in Lapland, if I could go to Santa's house anytime. There are many Santas around the world. Many volunteer because maybe the real Santa is tired of his work. There is also St. Nick. He is from a different country. But he comes to U.S.A. God made Santa and St. Nick to bring joy to kids.

One thing I wonder is how does Santa get into the house? Most people say, Santa goes into your chimney as an entrance. I don't have a chimney. I still get presents. Maybe that is Mom or Dad letting Santa in.

Was Santa a story made up long ago? I need a group of 30 people to help investigate: 10 in the North Pole, 10 in Lapland and 10 to stay with me at my house Christmas night. Then maybe one day we will find the truth.
