Is Santa Claus Real?

"With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!" -Clement Clarke Moore

Every year, on the 25th of December, good girls and boys around the world wake up fascinated (and more than a little excited) to find Christmas presents scattered beneath their Christmas trees. Some find additional goodies in their stockings or beneath the fireplace, all attributed to a mysterious gift-giver who calls himself "Santa Claus"... or "Saint Nick"... or "Kris Kringle"... or... "Old Man Frost"? ...Something's fishy about this globe-trotting saint. He's been giving presents to children for over 1,700 years now, and to this day, no one is quite sure how. This has led to endless questions about the magical man and his North Pole operation, but recently, the truth has gotten so muddled that certain people aren't sure if he exists at all! This time on The Imaginary Axis, we seek to put an answer to this riddle once and for all. Who is Santa Claus? Where did he come from? Is he a man or a myth? And most importantly, how does he manage to get presents to billions of children every year? Finding the truth will require detours through physics, history, and the very heart of Christmas itself, but rest assured there IS an answer. All those gifts have to come from somewhere.

This christmas, dont forget the homeless people in your town. They need a Saint Nicolas more than everyone else. Buy them a hot chocolate or just give them a few extra bucks. Remmember that the winter is cold, but your heart is warm.

You made me a bit teary eyed at the end. I wasn't expecting your vid to end with a heart laden message!

we also call him father Christmas here in the UK!

as for the single Santa theory, I (as per usual) have taken my theory to a familiar place, the pages of the flash.
I propose that - similar to hunter zolomon in Geoff Johns' blitz storyline - Santa exists outside of the timeline, able to slow it down in his perception of it at his Will, however can do so without tearing holes in the timeline due to extreme caution. perhaps his entire workshop exists outside of time, which is how his reindeer can travel so quickly and how his elves can produce several million presents each of our relative years. Or, (pure speculation) he exists within the speed force, which explains why he needs to eat so much each year, travelling around the world with such a high metabolism requires him to indulge in hundreds of thousands of mince pies and other snacks before returning to the speed force once again to reset for the next time. perhaps this is also how st. Nick survived so long, as the speed force stopped his aging. I dunno, I just like thinking about stuff like this.
