What a boring Christmas your children must have.

Do you actually have kids or is this part of a PhD thesis you've had rejected a few times?

this is the kind of crap that makes kids unable to think for themselves so when they get older they expect life to be organized for them in a formatted excel sheet...

This is horrible. It's a wishlist, not a business meeting. there's no space here for "a little thing that can turn into anything"

When I was a child, if my parents turned around and gave me a list like this to fill out for Christmas, I would've been SO upset & just handed it back blank. No child wants to see that... Then, I'd have written my own letter to Santa and left it in the mailbox for the mailman to deliver. >.>;

I agree. I think this BS categorized list is more the parental fail. Way to ruin Christmas for your children. Part of the experience is writing your own letter to Santa explaining the things you really want. And besides, nobody ever said you're going to get everything on your child's list... but at least you have a…

I don't see my kid filling out any less than 5 of those forms. Also, it won't teach them the difference between "want" and "need"...it'll just be two different things they want (per form). I don't see any kid asking for a jug of water (not that that's independently needed in the US anyway) or non-zero lung capacity.

A smart child would not constrain their wants to that little list. I want $1000, I need a pony, I would wear a Rolex, and I would read the instructions to the Powerwheels Santa's bringing me.

Every year my daughter writes extensive Christmas lists and demands a tree, two requests I never grant. She is always confused as to why. I just don't have the heart to tell her we're Jewish.
