Santa exists - yay or nay?

I was only 8 when Princess Diana passed away. I wept out of shock when I brutally learned that Princesses DON'T actually live forever. I doubted everything from then on because fairytales and cartoons were very real to me. Suddenly the easter bunny was just some rodent now🤣from then on, I wasn't as invested as before but still enjoyed some fictitious characters and what they represented. I never fully believed that the "real" Santa would make it to Africa though, so I wwasn't attached. I don't know how but I'll try to strike a balance between fiction and reality(a bit of a complex subject though if one considers life to be spiritual and full of miracles). Hubby and I actually experience some things that seem like fiction/fairytales to others in this physical world.
