Rosmina: Daddy, is [blank] not going to give me any presents?

I almost died when I heard her say that. She goes on to say "Santa has a naughty list and a nice list. I hope I'm on the nice list.".

Then she tells me that "Santa didn't get her what she wanted" directed at the presents she got from Santa at our company kid's Christmas parties. I told her the presents he gives at the Christmas parties are supposed to be pre-Christmas Day surprises and something that he knows you will like. Santa has your wish list and he only gives one present from her wish list under the Christmas tree BUT (in a preemptive diffusion of "why did so and so get more presents from Santa") every year he randomly picks kids to give two or more wish list presents to but no one ever knows who - not even Santa - until Christmas Day. Her response: "I hope he brings me lots of presents under the Christmas tree!".

I still believe in Santa after all these years, I know I won't get presents from him any more because he's busy with the kids and I'm quite happy with that.

Santa has no religion, he does his best to get every child a present and most times something on their wish list but with the population as it's at, he needs help from everyone to help give a present on his behalf where they can. And this helps businesses as well cause they make lots of money from everyone who's helping - and everyone who helps all get on his Ultimate Nice List.
