I never understood Santa. Why would parents want to train their kids to be susceptible to lies? I wholeheartedly believe that Santa is a thing the government uses to reduce the populace's ability to think critically. Why would you oppose your government if you think like a fairy tale person and believe all the lies they tell you and cry like a little baby when someone presents you with evidence to the contrary?
