He does exist as a symbol or expression of an archetype if you will. But considering you probably mean really existed in a materialist context, one of the roots of Santa Claus is the catholic saint Nicolas. So in that sense he really existed. And you would already know how the world is thanks to that.

If we celebrate St. Nicolas, then shouldn't we include Krampusnacht?
:P

I would imagine a magical saint such as himself would find better things to do with his time and energy than give kids toys. My point being there are a lot bigger problems in the world.

To me, the world would be a much happier and magical place, and all my dreams would come true.
