My bet is that most stackers will completely disagree with me, but I don't think it's such a bad thing for young children to have a little sense of joy and magic in their lives. Yes, it's a lie. Yes, the world is an ugly place. But they'll have plenty of time to discover that as they grow up.
I remember my mom taking me out on our lawn on Christmas Eve night to sprinkle magical reindeer dust or something. I can still remember the feeling of thinking it was like actual magic.
Also this makes me think of this video, he talks about Santa at the end.

Ok I agree it's good to let the kids have fun in fact I encourage that but wouldn't it be a good idea to let them know it's only for fun but nothing serious nor real?

I see both sides of the issue. I was raised believing in Santa, and I have very fond childhood memories of anticipating Christmas. I don't know if it did me any harm. I was never angry with my parents for lying to me about it. I do know some people who are, though.
