Yeah, when my kids start asking, "But how could?" questions about Santa, I'll shut up and let them make sense of it, and turn it back on them. When they come right out and ask me if he exists, I'll tell them that the literal version of the story is false - and then relate it back to all the other myths that we get truth from. I won't perpetuate the story beyond its natural best-before date. Neither will I interfere with their thought processes by telling them. I have faith that my kids are smart enough to figure it out when the time is right for them.
