It seems to me that with a complicit surrounding culture, you could get the full "santa experience" without telling any explicit lies.

"Daddy, how does Santa do X?"

"Well, some people think Y -- do you think that's a good explanation?"

and then patiently wait for the day Y is rejected as nonsense.
