I highly doubt you did math in preschool...
In any case, I would hope that a child can be imbued with a sense of curiosity for knowledge despite characters they may encounter throughout their lives. Characters like Santa aren't just figments of the imagination -- they are often manifestations of ideas, Santa being that of giving, FORgiving (we weren't <i>always</i> nice as kids, but still received gifts), and happiness.
