It's a fairy tale for kids, to make it more fun for them.
That is pure bullshit. Children like the holiday just fine without the nonsensical beliefs attached. What you are saying is just the rationalization that the goddamned liars like to give for their goddamned lies. People like tricking children, as it makes them feel superior. It does not benefit the children at all.
