Santa Claus

The Holiday Rep of Christmas. Perhaps the most well known of them all, Santa Claus is famed for giving out gifts to the nice boys and girls of the world who asked for them. Conversely, he gives the naughty children coal in their stockings. Santa gives children their respective delivery, but he commonly does the same for adults and even pets. Santa lives at his workshop in the North Pole with his wife and team of elves, the producers of the toys that are received every Christmas. Santa travels the globe with the assistance of his nine flying reindeer and the sleigh they pull loaded with presents. A long-running tradition for welcoming Santa into a house is leaving milk and cookies out for him to enjoy in the night.

Since Santa is known for handing out presents to children, believing in his existence is often considered juvenile. When a child grows up, they may be told by their parents or somebody else that Santa is not real. This belief may be hard to knock for some kids who really want to think that there's a fat jolly man living in the Arctic Circle capable of sending tens of billions of presents to billions of people around the world every year. On top of this, his delivery method — a sleigh led by seven naturally flightless animals — must be able to tow cargo that would weigh thousands of tons with hundreds of millions of stops to make, all in the duration of a single night. You get the idea. Adults who believe in Santa might try to spread the Christmas spirit by encouraging others to have faith as well. This gets them ridiculed and told to act their age. Being treated so harshly may or may not shake a True Believer's determination and have them quit trying. In franchises where Santa is real, the Naysayer is the antagonist of the plot whose skepticism is always proven incorrect by the end. At first, the True Believer's repeated attempts to prove Santa is real come up empty, but in the end when they're about to give up, the man himself appears, making those who didn't believe in him do so.
