Is this perchance a backfiring of beliefs in the fantastical and unreal?

What next? Holding The Easter Bunny to an impossible candy payout?

The Tooth Fairy for a million dollars to pay for the pony's pasture and upkeep?

Where does belief in the impossibly improbable end? Misery and depression?

Good thing they didn't want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

I mean, if it's your own hard-working parents who have to live on a budget, you really need to cut them some slack when it comes to Christmas gifts. Money doesn't grow on trees.

But when it comes to Santa Claus...hey...that guy has supernatural powers and unlimited magic. He can visit every home on earth in just one night. He has a factory full of magical elves who can produce any and all delightful Christmas gifts imaginable.

So what's his excuse for stiffing a kid who has politely asked for a pony several years in a row. Especially when there are rich kids in the world who are getting ponies and cars from Santa. Asking politely and being ignored one year can be forgiven. But 2 or more years in a row? That just starts to feel like profound disrespect from Santa. It's like Santa's playing favorites and is clearly biased against kids whose parents are poor. Pretty disgusting, Santa.

Reminds me of my own horse-crazy years, starting at about age 7 or 8. We had plenty of property, and several of our neighbors had horses, so I saw NO reason why we couldn't get one. I begged and pleaded, non-stop. I threatened to "strike" on schoolwork.

My mother just said "NO!" But my sweet-natured father would say, "Maybe next year." So for several years in a row, I would say, first thing on New Year's day, "It's next year now, Daddy! Can we get a horse NOW, Daddy? Puh-LEEZE???" Dad passed away when I was a sophomore in high school, and with him went any hope of ever getting that horse.

As it turned out, cats require much less maintenance.

If you look at this from one point of view it could be classed as a step toward mind control. I am confused in my mind. I will finish this after while

One of my friends grew up knowing Santa would never bring anything Mom and Dad could not afford, because he "bills parents in January".

Santa's Pony. Sounds like a band or street name for a drug.

How about Satan's Pony and the Hair Bus to Heaven?

I'm working on my own magic bus.

And the one where the kid says his little brother doesn't deserve gifts. I love these kids!

Do you have a back up Santa if you get sick?

I am impressed that this kid spelled "consequences" correctly:)
