Last night at dinner I asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas this year. Here is most of what I heard:
iPod Touch
a pony
a robot (that makes breakfast)
Kindle Fire (suggested by the 5 year old)
a vacation to Ireland
I quickly stopped this game. I'm not sure what fantasy land this family lives in and I was a little surprised how there was no hesitation in shouting out these desires. A pony. Really? I was thinking more along the lines of some new shoes, some Lego's, or maybe an iTunes gift card.
I'm glad I asked with more than two months of prep work still to go. I have some work to do on expectations before Christmas morning.

I think a robot that makes breakfast is perfectly within reason.
It never hurts to ask, right?
You know, Farm Girl, if I didn't want to know, I shouldn't have asked.
@Tom - let me know when you find that robot.
