DS is 3.5 and this is his Christmas list: -a candy cane -toy French fries -a green ribbon -a toy door -a real elephant -scissors
It's like he snuck the elephant in where no one would notice it. LOL
And the scissors. Nothing to see here just some candy, a ribbon, a toy door, oh yeah, and I'd like an elephant and scissors. No big. Nothing to worry about. It'll be fine, just fine.
MFing hatchimals. Even if we could find one, I don't want to spend that much for a fucking furbee lookalike that they'll lose interest in the next day.

My 7 year old told me he was asking Santa for an RV. He got the RV idea from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When told they're very expensive and a lot of work, he said, "It's ok. It's free, because it's from Santa."
My 5yo wants a small marble the color of the earth.
She also wants her big sister (7yo) to be given something 'sassy and inappropriate because she likes sassy and inappropriate'. Also, something dinosaurish for her 2yo sister who loves Dinos.

An iPad, a hatchimal, (I've already said no to those) and a "play bed" for her dolls that is as big as a real bed. So she wants a second bed. She's getting a doll pack n play.
You can donate and "adopt" a red panda through the World Wildlife Fund and they send you a stuffed red panda and certificate. I am going to do that and include a letter from Santa that says unfortunately, we cannot take red pandas from their natural habitat but Santa has adopted one on your behalf and will look after it (or something like that).
Some zoos have them, maybe you can find one near you and visit it?

My 3 year-old sees every commercial on TV and says "I want Santa to bring me that." Then when I ask him what he wants from Santa he says "everything" and has a meltdown when I tell him Santa can't bring him everything because he has to bring things to other kids too.
Hopefully he will be happy enough with what he gets. He's an only child, and has a ton of aunts/uncles/cousins so he really does get a ton of crap at holidays, so I worry about him getting spoiled

Tell him Santa doesn't pay for insurance, gas and repairs.

Oh we do. The Philadelphia Zoo has them and they are a favorite of ours. He thinks we can own one.
Oh, and my 5 year old wants a skateboard. While it's not impossible, if she gets one, the other kids will want one, and I can just imagine the chaos. I'm just telling her Santa doesn't bring skateboards because there's too much snow on the ground in the winter, but maybe for her birthday instead.
I'm so glad my kid doesn't do this yet. He just says, "I want one of those!" at EVERY commercial on Disney Jr and Nick Jr. Luckily, he mostly watches Disney and they run a lot of the same toys over and over so I just added all the stuff he pointed out to an Amazon list and used that for shopping, then passed it to the grandparents.
So, he wants noting... air... She is afraid of the consequences of getting this wrong.
Don't they make those guitars that you move your hand on front of and they make noise? They don't have strings and are an air guitar with a physical play guitar. I wonder if they still make them...

That would be the biggest "not happening!!!" On the list. Elephant.... looking into it. Scissors.... Hell no
A dragonfly from Cracker Barrel. It's been over a year since the kid has stepped foot in a Cracker Barrel and he can give me no hints of what this dragonfly does.
