I can remember not being able to sleep on the night of the 24th because I wanted to wait for santa. If I had really known that all the gifts were just carefully hidden in my parents closet, the next morning would not have been as exciting or fun in my opinion. As for a lie, I think its just a fun custom and until your kids ask, enjoy the fun. I was never broken up or thought my parents lied to me when I found out. I'd probably say there are more issues at heart then just santa not being real if your kids are distruting of you.
I know I really got a kick out of playing santa several years ago and talking to the little kids at a family reunion. I look forward to hopefully doing it someday with my own kids.
