Santa asks the child what they want for Christmas. Santa gives the child a present. You can see where a misunderstanding might occur.
Admittedly Santa does try to explain to them that this is just a small present to remind them to be good until Christmas Eve when he will come with their big presents, but the message doesn't always sink in.
A child leaves the grotto excitedly holding their present. 'What do you think it is?' Parent asks. 'A Nintendo DS,' the child states confidently. Moments later the child is crying, assuming that they weren't good enough and the present they have just asked Santa for will not be coming. A storybook worth 1-2 pounds is lying on the floor.
