The book "Mowgli" with pictures, a doll, which itselfthere is a radio-controlled car - about 30 years ago any of these gifts for the New Year was received with a cheer by the Soviet baby. But the imagination of modern children sometimes puts their parents at a dead end.

“This time my 8 year old daughter orderedmicroscope. I thought: why does she need it? After all, before she was interested in dolls-dresses and everything girly,” one of the mothers shares. “The eldest has only three wishes for the New Year. She wants a magic wand, to learn to fly and to have three days off a week,” another sympathizes with Santa Claus in advance. The wish list of the St. Petersburg kids includes the top of an Egyptian pyramid, a fire extinguisher and even “a set of adult teeth”! The mother of young Mashenka also had to rack her brains. After all, the child ordered “a stuffed animal, preferably pink.” “It is clear that on New Year’s Eve any parent is ready to catch up, skin and make a stuffed animal out of anyone. Children's dreams should come true, especially on the most magical night of the year! So, theoretically, I was ready for anything,” the girl’s mother shared. Fortunately, no one had to be turned into a pink stuffed animal. After all, it's just a toy dog from the chi-chi love series. But if "Grandfather Frost" can still get a toy or an inexpensive gadget, what if the child dreams of an overly expensive gift? For example, about "a touchscreen phone, like daddy's, but with a bitten apple on the back." Or something completely impossible - a live Smurf or a real Blue Bird. Let's find out from the mother of six children, the winner of the title "Mrs. Russia - 2015" Ekaterina Kirmel.

That is, the child is not trying to satisfy his own desires, but to make his mother happy,” smiles Ekaterina. “If “Santa Claus” was unable to fulfill such wishes, I explain: but Grandfather Frost gave us all a good mood and optimism, which will help us get what we want in the future. You can also say that Santa Claus gave gifts to children who live without parents in orphanages. It will be more pleasant and useful for them than for us. Fortunately, my children agree with this. And we are left with a good holiday mood, family love and a delicious Napoleon cake, which my mother bakes for the New Year.”
The snowman is to blame for everything!
What else can be said in “justification” of the negligenta wizard, so as not to spoil the child's holiday? · Santa Claus has expensive equipment and toys in the storerooms. But there is not much of it, so every year he organizes a mini-lottery. Someone will be lucky, and someone - alas, is not. · Santa Claus is assisted by numerous assistants - magical elves, snowmen, bunnies. But they are very inattentive and constantly mix things up. · Santa Claus, like any other self-respecting wizard, loves surprises. He is simply not interested in giving gifts, like everyone else.
