Santa Claus has the right idea – visit people only once a year.
Victor Borge
Whomever thinks Santa Claus comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart.
Paul M. Ell
One of the problems we have in this country is that too many adults believe in Santa Claus, and too many children don’t.
Lee Lauer

I see Santa Claus and Luke Skywalker as the same person.
Trey Parker
One of the things I had a hard time getting used to when I came to California in ’78 was Santa Claus in shorts.
Dennis Franz
The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
George Carlin
Not these Girl Guides!
Whenever you give someone a present or sing a holiday song, you’re helping Santa Claus. To me, that’s what Christmas is all about. Helping Santa Claus!
LOUIS SACHAR, Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
Shirley Temple
When I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real, I wasn’t upset; rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same night! The story had been getting pretty complicated — it was getting out of hand.
RICHARD P. FEYNMAN, What Do You Care What Other People Think
Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them happy; who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that he bestows.
Edwin Osgood Grover
I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark.

You know you’re getting old, when Santa starts looking younger

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

In this age of instant coffee, overnight rush deliveries, and 30-second media sound bites, it’s not surprising that children have discovered that their letters to Santa Claus can be sent by email.
PATRICK FLAHERTY, Dear Santa
(The minor hockey team)
Let me see if I’ve got this Santa business straight. You say he wears a beard, has no discernible source of income and flies to cities all over the world under cover of darkness? You sure this guy isn’t laundering illegal drug money?
Tom Armstrong

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.
Bernard Manning
“Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!”

No one has ever become poor by giving.
Anne Frank
(Carleton Place’s Jordan McIntosh)
Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we’ll be seeing six or seven.
W.C. FIELDS, The Mammoth Book of Zingers, Quips & One-Liners
“On a busy day twenty-two thousand people come to visit Santa, and I was told that it is an elf’s lot to remain merry in the face of torment and adversity. I promised to keep that in mind.”
― David Sedaris
Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don’t, who will?
Jon Bon Jovi
Santa Claus and all his good will is all over the world with you. This little guy told me so.
