Growing up in a Southern Baptist household makes this so cathartic - I'm absolutely losing my shit.

I grew up kinda poor and I always thought each family paid Santa a set amount to get presents the elves couldn't make, so my parents would just be straightforward and say not to get my hopes up for any big console Santa only got what he could afford with what we could give him, it worked out pretty well and explained why the rich or well off kids got better presents

HoneyBun BB that's a good idea for families of any income I think. I grew up with the switch witch on Halloween where any amount of candy I gave up I would get a proportionate prize so as not to just eat a shit load of candy. Cause I always preceded the prize even if it was something small.

So Santa is just a sort of middleman between your parents and the present shops?

Ok listen. Tim curry in muppet treasure island sang a song about becoming a pirate, and my 6 year old self was 100% on board with joining his crew.

SAUNTA IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD

Theres a lot of great stuff in this bit, but my personal favorite is probably right at the beginning, when Justin whispers to the kid "you know santas gonna get you that wii u"

i love the idea of pennywise and a real ass charizard driving an icecream truck

The delivery of "oh my God, Jesus had a son" was so fucking genuine. I could hear a definite flabbergasted air to the statement and it sent me.

It would take literally nothing to get me into a sewer with tim curry, that real good boy is my jam!

Given that (according to Griffin on Wonderful) the McElroy parents literally pulled a "Christmas Story" one year and hid their coveted Nintendo 64 as the last gift, maybe these aren't the three best people to ask about managing Christmas disappointment.

Oh man we had that, too. Except our father sent us on a little scavenger hunt thing finding somewhat complex clues all over the house. The final clue was simply "7 13 3" After some confused deliberation (and a little help in the right direction) it was a simple letter-number cipher telling us to check in the truck (GMC). Voila: N64 and extra controller and Bomberman 64 in the back seat.

you mean a nintendo 63?

I love the "WiiWho?!?!?" joke because like 30 seconds before Justin says it you can hear him start the joke but realise he should hold onto it a little longer

if you think sonta is bad, when my nephew was 5 he used to call him 'panta'

LMAO that escalation "WAIT A MINUTE... there feels like there's some extra space in this present box"..."a sweater? aww man"..."there's a map (?) on this sweater" ..."is that a codex?!?"...."OMG Jesus had a son!"

I got a pink DS for Christmas from my grandparents one year, and it was my favorite gift I've ever received. Even though all my cousins got one too, I felt so special because no one had ever spent that much money on something for me that wasn't like, necessary for my survival. When I have kids, you bet your ass they're going to get the most bomb Christmas presents, but there is no way in heck Santa is going to take credit.

Nathan-DTS - Nah, if that had been the case they would have phrased the question like, "How can I convince my son that he wants a PS4", or something like that. It sounds more to me like they don't want him to play video games. That said, it's true that they left their true intent completely ambiguous.

I was thinking the kids' parents did him a favor nobody liked the WiiU lol

I remember in my family we'd mitigate large gifts, like a console with a unerstanding that I'd only get a few small gifts the next time. For example if I got a new console on my birthday, I'd only get one game at Christmas, maybe smaller toys. Basically my birthday and Christmas had a fixed budget per year, if i asked for something large on my birthday they'd take from the Christmas budget to afford that item, and vice versa. The trick being was that I didn't need to understand household budgets, I just needed to understand the end results. Their explanations being that it was too much work for the elvesto make large gifts for both ocasions. The real genius is how they weaponized my own selfishness if i asked for something too large: they would say yes(willing to bend their budget behind the scenes) but then I wouldn't be able to get gifts for X holidays ( X being the number of hypothetical budgets they'd have to allocate from) That was too torturous for me to handle so I'd back down and ask for something smaller, ensuring I'd still get gifts in the near future.
