I'm asking my children every time, whether they consent to giving the Santa their list of actions. If they don't consent, they won't be receiving any gifts at all. It's that simple.
But you have a point in that a minor can't consent to a legal contract.
And parent is clearly abusing his authority position, possibly with implied threats.
But perhaps it's hard to santa to do his job without this data.
$5 gift certificate to 7-11 is the standard gift for everyone without tracking
I suppose that was the metaphor ?
- there are 1000s of recycling numbers
- color was invented in the mid 20th century, "back in the black & white days"
- giving random sounds to toys (trex goes neigh)
- he told my sister he could fly. She believed it was happening for a moment when he slowly flapped his hands & went up on tippy toes
- accidentally he explained to her a scifi short story where martian colonies seek indepence by collecting water from Saturn's rings. She wasn't corrected until she brought it up at school, where her real father was a bit annoyed about my father feeding her nonsense all the time
Overall good upbringing & it's good to teach kid's not to be so gullible
