Wdyd? Child asks santa for something not on list?

I'd go for the gloves, you have two days, why not?

Unless you think DS was having a Ralphie moment and blurted out "a, a, a football!".

(I mean, said gloves because he couldn't think of what he really wanted, which was the beebee gun)

I would try and get it, but I am like that. If I couldn't get them, I'd tell him Santa maybe already had his sleigh packed when he asked for them.

Next year, maybe go see Santa earlier.

I'm a sucker - I would try to find the gloves. BUT, I would also tell DS that he didn't give Santa much notice and not to expect them. Santa has to plan ahead to get all those toys made!

I'd try. It's frustrating, isn't it?

I would move heaven and earth to get them.

But I'm a total sucker for Santa stuff.

Since I budgeted a specific amount for each child (lets say $200 per child) , and all shopping is done that means I have spent that child's budget on his gifts.  It would mean returning something to get the gloves. I wouldn't do it.  But then, I probably wouldn't have taken the child to talk to santa at this date either.

They may have been a breast cancer awareness thing? I bet you'll be able to find them.

In your shoes, I would move heaven and earth to get the kid some pink and white football gloves.

ETA - okay, so that's pretty much verbatim what myshelly said but we seem to be on the same page where Santa is concerned anyway, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I would get them, for sure.

For me it would really depend. We usually have an idea of what our kids are going to ask for and we know fairly early in the season. We have also always been lead to believe that Santa doesn't always bring you exactly or only what you've asked for. Sometimes he might bring you something else he thought you would like. One year I got a saddle for my horse that I had never even thought to ask for, I probably asked for something dumb like a doll

So for me it would depend on what else I've already gotten them, whether it was in the budget or not, whether it was doable in the time frame and if it was really THE one thing they wanted. 

But I'm fully aware that we don't use lists and wishes like most people do. For us they are likes, guidelines and ideas of what we are interested it. Of course we put things we like on them, but we don't only want things from our list (ie Rachel's birthday on Friends)

Me, too. I am a total sucker. If (and the big IF) he still believes in Santa, I'd do all I could to get it.
