I need to get my sad face ready then for the national rag...eldest daughter (9 and yes is happily a Santa believing child) saw Santa in a Grotto on the weekend.
All she asked for was a bin for her bedroom (I may nag her a bit about the mess she makes with paper). Santa promised her there would be something a little extra special as well as the bin.
How dare he promise my daughter a better gift than a bin. I'm outraged!
Meanwhile in the real world I'm happy that Santa made my daughter smile, she still only expects a bin from Santa (there will be other gifts) and will be grateful with anything she gets under the Christmas tree.
