Um. What? They aren't real. They're fictional characters. The only one that you could even begin to make the case for is Santa Claus, but even then the best you can claim is that he's based (loosely) on a historical figure.
Somewhere along the line they're going to figure out that there is no fat man living at the North Pole who delivers presents once a year. And when they do, you can try to spin it like that. And maybe they'll buy it. More power to you. I can't say I've ever met anyone who was "fucked up" by their parents telling them or at least letting them believe that there was a Santa Claus. My feeling is that telling my son that the gifts under the tree are from Santa is a big, gigantic, humungous lie. And I won't do that.
