We've never done Santa (or Father Christmas, as he usually is here). That is, DS7 does have a stocking on Christmas morning (this is the one aspect of celebrating Christmas that we keep - otherwise, we celebrate Solstice instead), but we've always talked about the idea of its being Father Christmas who brings it as being a story. We still say things like "you have to go to sleep or Father Christmas can't come" but he's always known it's make believe, in the same way that we all know what we're doing when we talk about his imaginary friends. It doesn't seem to make it any less fun!
