This is how I see it. If a child is old enough to know and understand Christmas morning as the time when Santa has been there and is excited about what will be under the tree, the child is old enough to also learn what the reason for the season is about too. Some things are instilled in a child from a very early age and I would imagine that Christian parents would begin teaching their children why Christmas is celebrated. If a child has just even an inkling of "Jesus' birthday", going to church to celebrate that makes sense to me.
Its not really about sitting through a service or being old enough to act very maturely for a while but about participating as a family in something that is why there is the holiday in the first place.
