dude...why does santa have to be looked at as a lie? Do you look at everything else in life that's "fictional" as a lie? I know I don't and sure I know that Santa isn't real, but he's still sorta fun to believe in. It makes children happy and look forward to things and teaches them (if taught the correct way) that giving is better than receiving, and that there's more to the holiday then presents. It's a time for family ect. Santa wasn't "created" for economic reasons. Adults and retail stores used Santa's image and made him into a money maker, not the other way around.
