The purpose of this article is to examine the strength of evidence regarding our holiday Santa Claus (SC) practices and the opportunities for new descriptive, correlation, or experimental research on SC. Although existing evidence generally supports SC, in the end we may conclude, "the most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see" (Church, as cited in Newseum, n.d.).
本文的目的是审视关于我们节日圣诞老人习俗的证据力度，以及针对圣诞老人开展新的描述性、相关性或实验性研究的机会。尽管现有证据总体上支持圣诞老人的存在，但最终我们可能会得出结论：“世界上最真实的事物是那些儿童和成人都看不见的东西”（纽斯博物馆未注明日期引用的丘奇的话）。
