I think the myth of Santa helps keeps kids a little innocent for a little bit longer than they would be otherwise.
I don't have children, and more than likely will not, but my nieces are 10, 11, and 12, and there's nothing like the sparkle in their eyes when they lay out cookies for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer.
I can't see what's wrong with letting them have a little bit of fantasy in their lives when they're young enough to enjoy it.
