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.
I'm not sure if you're just venting frustrations because you were traumatized when you found out that Santa isn't real. But.....I see this post and it seems like an extreme overreaction. I do not believe that parents who tell their kids Santa is real are these malevolent people tricking their kids on some disgusting power trip. Actually, I find the notion laughably ridiculous. People remember enjoying Santa Claus and they want their children to have those same good memories. Is it necessary? No, but it's also not harmful.
