If you can teach them to decipher realty from the imaginary, i see no problem with going with the Santa and tooth fairy idea a little. Just don't make them believe it. When i was a kid I knew Santa wasn't real, but I still wanted to pretend he was. Honestly, I don't think it comes as much of a shock to most children. Parental enthusiasm for Santa usually dies when the child is 5-10 and they figure it out mostly on their own.
IIN to let children be ignorant to preserve their "innocence"?
