Horrible Santa

Wait...what?  I'm not trying to disrespect the fun of Santa Claus.  But sometimes you have to wonder.  The littles are in school so comparisons are going to be done.  That kid got some extravagant gift and this kid got a doll.  Where is the fairness in all of that?  I figured this is the year that the glimmer goes out on the myth.  I just expected it to be in a week when they go back to school.
Remember that my little man wanted an electric dirt bike.  And those start at about $200.  So no, Santa is not bringing that.  The little man and I had a talk about how Santa doesn't really do big gifts and he shouldn't.  So instead he wanted a remote control motorcycle.  A much more reasonable request.  The little woman never wavered from her desire for a Snackin Sara. 
So Santa came and brought a rc motorcycle and a Snackin Lily because Sara is a lot more money.  Santa brought an extra food/diaper pack with Lily to make up the difference.  Well the little woman was thrilled.  I don't think she even realized it wasn't Sara.  The little man is thrilled and it is all good. 
Where Santa becomes horrible is when he brought gifts to their little sister.  I don't have to deal with blatant inequality from other kids. I get plenty of it right here.  This is what Jazzlynn got.  And I don't begrudge her presents.  There is no way I can explain this to the little man who really wanted that dirt bike.  The argument I used to get him to change his mind just blew out the window.  Thanks Santa. 

Guess it is just about time to retire Santa in our house.
