Okay my two cents worth. I find nothing wrong in letting children believe in Santa Claus. However, when I've seen stories or movies about Santa I see him delivering ONE present to each little girl and boy. I don't see him bringing present after present to each. Here is where we have gotten out of hand. I am guilty as well with my own children.
I just feel kids need magical things such as Santa to believe in while children. That is part of the fun of being a kid. But it's how we teach the concept of Santa in moderation as to gifts is where we need to be careful. Saying they don't reminds of the story of Miracle on 54th street.
