My question regarding the whole Santa vs. Jesus (God) thing is this:
Most North Americans are Christians, and they raise their children to belive in Santa Claus as well as God. Both God and Santa are benevolent spirits who care for the children and (in the broadest sense) reward them for being good and faithful. To a child's eyes both God and Santa amount to about the same thing.
The trouble arises when the child reaches the age of reason, usually 7-10 years old, and we pull the rug out from under them, "Hey sorry kid, the whole Santa thing was total bullshit. But that God fellow? Oh yeah, that part is rock solid."
WTF is a kid to think? Mommy and Daddy flat out lied about the whole Santa thing and yet they still expect me to belive in God.
