Our understanding of Santa is a gift giver than which no greater gift giver can be conceived.
The idea of Santa exists in the mind.
A gift giver which exists both in the mind and in reality is greater than a gift giver that exists only in the mind.
If Santa only exists in the mind, then we can conceive of a greater gift giver—that which exists in reality.
We cannot be imagining something that is greater than Santa.
Therefore, Santa exists.
And thus the bells jingled all the way. Well put my fellow Good Lister.
