I remember a friend several years ago whose little girl still believed in Santa and wanted something that was popular at the time. He and his wife couldn’t find it and didn’t want to spend that much anyway, so they bought what they thought was an acceptable substitute. On Christmas morning their little girl opened the package and said “well, I guess I wasn’t a good enough girl this year and some other little girl got my [whatever it was].” He said they felt like the worst parents in the world.
