If you want to skip Santa and focus on the religious side, that's fine, but it's kind of like you're saying if they see Barney on TV and think he's real, not a person in a suit, once they find out they won't believe in God anymore. That's silly.

I kind of picture this dialogue:
The kids: "So you're the ones who fill stockings and leave presents we find on Christmas morning?"
Us parents: "Yes."
The kids: "And you're the ones who put money under our pillows when we lose a tooth?"
Us parents: "Yes."
The kids: "And you leave the stuff from the Easter bunny, too?"
Us parents: "Yes again."
The kids: "And so did you also create the heavens the earth, and everything in them?"
Us parents: "Ummmmmmmmmmm, that would be a big no."
