On a side note, what do people think about allowing or encouraging children to believe fake things such as Santa? Is it harmless? I don't have kids (and won't) so it's not something I'll have to decide, but I feel a bit uneasy about the idea of it.

I don't have kids either, but I see no harm in things like that. Remembering my own childhood, it was a world of wonders, full of magic tales, fairy tales and such. I think, children need to have that. It encourages fantasy and you grow out of that stage soon enough.
