From my perspective, and as I've told my grand kids, 'when you make up a story about your adventures with your pet dinosaur, that's fun and creative, but when you make up a story about whether or not you punched your brother, that's a lie, and that's wrong.'
For one, I think that is a MUCH more important message and differentiation to get into your kids minds and hearts.
Secondly, as creatures made in Gods image, we are to be creators, and thus creative, so while it can be debated whether the story of Santa is an expression of that or not, I think the idea of never 'lying' to your kids is not reasonable, possibly not as caring as you seem to intend.
