- Our soon-to-be 4 YO is really keen on getting a battery operated car & she
- is hoping that Santa will oblige. Unfortunately (for her), we do not want
- to spend $200+ on a single toy that is of dubious value [knowing her the
- way we do, this expensive toy will be tossed aside once the novelty wears
- off]. We've told her that it would be a good idea for her to give Santa a
- wide choice of things she would like to have. We've also told her that
- Santa has to give toys to a lot of children around the world, some of whom
- have less than what she has, and therefore, we should only ask Santa to
- bring things that are inexpensive.
-
- Having explained to her that Santa has to bring toys for all the kids in
- the world, how do we respond if she finds out that "Santa" brought a car
- for one of her friends in pre-school. Any advice/suggestions would be
- greatly appreciated.
