Is it a Good thing to encourage children to Believe in Santa Claus!!

Is perpetuating the myth of Santa Claus good for children? This was a subject of debate on one of the article websites I am currently writing for!!
In my opinion there should be no debate in this matter. Children need good roll models and great influences’, in their lives. Santa Claus is the roll model we should all attempt to mold ourselves around. He is a stand up character, he’s happy, friendly, kind to everyone, does not pass judgement based on age, color or race. He encourages us all to be kind to one another, teaches us forgiveness. Is good to his wife and employees. We’d be crazy NOT to encourage our children to believe in Santa as well as other faithful fictional characters. Our children’s innocence is being stripped from them younger and younger all the time. They are expected to mature almost over night!!! Just think about what your childhood would’ve been like, without witches, dragons, superman, wonder woman etc.?? Those beliefs are part of what helped mold you into the person you have become!! Wouldn’t you want that kind of greatness for your child??? I know I do!!
