You know there's probably something very healthy about filling a child with a sense of wonder and magic about the world.

You don't have to lie to them in order to do that.
Perhaps not "magical" but many aspect of reality is plenty wondrous.
Perhaps I am deprived in other ways, but growing up in an Asian country, I never consider not being told about Santa as a depravity of my spirit of wonder. I still wonder about the universe, and the vastness of it in which my mind can only beginning to grasp.
There is nothing wrong with comfortable and fun traditions, but to say in general that people deprived because they don't experience such tradition is like me saying Americans are deprived because they never properly experienced Chinese New Year and Mid Autumn festival.
How ya doing, buddy?
