You were the one who told me the second one! As in, believe that he comes down your chimney, lives in the North Pole, etc.

Then why'd you say you didn't know it? As in, do you think that he does?

This is one reason why Hanukkah is better: Your parents just give you the presents. They don't make up people like Santa. Although I have heard of the Hanukkah fairy...but...that's different.

That makes you feel spoiled, though, because your parents get you the gifts. Or guilty, because your parents may not really be able to afford them, but they got you some anyway. With the Santa character, you think 'Oh Santa brought me these gifts, not my parents, so I won't feel guilty. And since Santa brings everyone presents, I won't feel spoiled.' And what the heck is a Hanukkah fairy?

Hanukkah fairy = the supposed Jewish equivalent of Santa, but it didn't catch on.

I don't know. Why didn't Harry the Hannukah Fairy catch on? For that matter, why didn't the Hannukah Bush catch on?

They seem like cheap rip-offs.

I think the Hanukkah Fairy didn't catch on because Hanukkah had been celebrated in basically the same way for thousands of years, and no one really wanted to go to the trouble of perpetuating yet another holiday myth.
