As the holiday season approaches, parents are finding themselves in a frenzied hunt for the most sought-after toy of 2016: the Hatchimal. This elusive creature has become the must-have item, and with Christmas just around the corner, many parents are resorting to an unexpected solution—writing heartfelt apology letters from Santa. Yes, you read that right!
In a bid to spare their kids the heartbreak of finding no Hatchimal under the tree, these parents are preemptively crafting letters from St. Nick himself, expressing sorrow for the lack of this trendy toy. Some letters even promise that a Hatchimal will be secured as soon as possible. While it’s admirable to want to create a magical holiday experience, do we really need Santa to apologize? Since when does the jolly old man have to justify his gift-giving?
These letters often come with elaborate tales about the dwindling Hatchimal population and the consequences of a child’s persistent wishes. Instead of a simple note saying, “Sorry, not this year,” they craft elaborate backstories that could rival a holiday movie plot. But let’s be real here—children should learn that their Christmas wish list is a guideline, not an ultimatum. They shouldn’t expect to receive every single item they desire. After all, if they can’t get a Hatchimal, what will happen when they ask for the latest smartphone or an extravagant gaming console?
As parents, we need to remember that it’s our responsibility to set realistic expectations. Why stress over finding a toy that will likely end up collecting dust in a year when we can simply explain to our kids that Santa’s magic has its limits? And truthfully, by the next holiday season, that Hatchimal will probably be forgotten beneath their bed.
