First of all, Claus. Not Clause, people. Claus.

Second of all, I remember the magic of Christmas as a kid very fondly. Santa Claus bringing gifts was an amazing thing. I think I was 6 or 7 when I figured it out. I wasn't traumatized. I think my parents eased me out of it. Like the tooth fairy, like the Easter Bunny.
I would never pull the naughty/nice gambit to threaten my kids with no presents, though. My parents didn't really do that with me as far as I can remember.
But Santa is harmless, and they're going to be exposed to it over and over and over again during the holiday season. Might as well let them have the fun.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
