Maybe it's just because i'm not part of the Santa Claus culture, but i've
never understood how telling a kid that an imaginary person gives them
presents (when it's really their friends and family), having them believe
that for a while and then telling them that you've been lying all along
is supposed to be beneficial.
Also, how is that "not intend[ing] to deceive the person"? Are you using
"deceive" to mean exclusively 'malicious intent'?

a lie in order to make them happy but with good intentions--like telling
kids about Santa Claus
