Hello,
I am writing a Chritsmas message and want to include the following sentence:

"not only Santa bares/bears gifts"

I cannot decide which bare/bear to use.

Can anyone help.

Thanks David

It's bear.

http://www.grammar-monster.com/easily_confused/bare_bear.htm forgot to mention that bare is also a Verb which will help you remember when you bare yourself you unburden yourself of what you are wearing but in Bearing the weight you must be strong like a bear to carry more.
