All my kids have enjoyed Santa and it seems no harm was done. One reason my 9 and 11 year old are looking forward to the birth of our baby is to have someone around who believes in Santa again as it is "so much fun to pretend."
My older sister did not let her children believe in Santa. Once her eldest saw a picture of another sister's daughter on Santa's lap. He said, "see mom, there is a Santa. Auntie wouldn't let Alicia sit on his lap if he weren't real." He really wanted to be able to "believe" and she took that fantasy away from him. Personally, I thought it was sad.
