Does Santa exist?

Vote.com conducted a poll in 1999-DEC, asking Internet surfers: "Do you believe in Santa Claus?" Of the 4,114 votes cast, 66% voted for the option "Yes! He spreads Christmas spirit around the world." 34% voted "No! Bah, Humbug! Santa's nothing but a marketing ploy." So it seems, Virginia, that there is a Santa Claus, after all -- at least in the minds of most Internet surfers. 1
