I work retail and ask kids all the time what do they want from Santa Clause.

Just about all of them shrug and say they haven't asked for much. Most of the parents say the kids get what they want all year long. I think it's sad that kids are now so spoiled that Christmas and Santa Clause are no big deal for them anymore. By the way, I'm speaking of American kids not kids worldwide.

We weren't allowed to keep our presents (Christmas, birthday) more than a few days unless it was something useful like clothing.

@SW-User Yeesh, that is a trip to hell for those parents, so evil. Were they on drugs? I bet they needed the money for something they wanted.
