Christmas is nearly upon us and children all over the world are looking forward to a visit from Santa Claus. You all know the story. That jolly, bearded old man with the red suit goes around the world delivering presents to all the good boys and girls. He has a workshop in the North Pole where he makes toys with the elves, and he makes his trip around the world is a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. We all grew up with him and he brought joy to our hearts every Christmas season. Theres a problem, though. People are saying that Santa Claus isnt real. Either its parents who are telling their children this, or people just grow to a certain age and stop believing in him. They give reasons like each Santa you see at a mall or department store looks different, or that theres no way one man could go around the world in one night and deliver presents to all the good children. Let me address the first point. Of course those Santas you see out in public arent real. Santa is way too busy to come down and make public appearances. Hes working on a tight schedule. As for the second point, I agree. No normal man could do what hes able to do, but theres nothing normal about Santa Claus. You see, Santa is a superhuman being with multiple powers. Much like the superheroes we read about and watch on TV and the movies, Santa uses his powers to help those in need and make society a better place. By the way, he doesnt just have one power or two, he has nine superpowers, and those are only the ones that have been on record by the few observers who have seen them used. With these powers, Santa is more powerful than Superman and practically a demigod. We should all be thankful he uses his powers to bring joy and not to enslave the human race. With that said, its important you understand how Santa uses these powers to make Christmas enjoyable, which is why Ive compiled this list detailing their functions. Merry Christmas!
