NOTHING beats our kids’ faces as they tear into their presents on Christmas morning.

But we all know what kids are like – and the second they go back to school in January, they’ll be comparing the number of new toys they received.

And that’s where things can get a bit muddled for them – as author Kelly Coon knows all too well.

今月上旬, the mum-of-three went viral when she confessed she never thought she was “good enough” to get lots and lots of gifts from Father クリスマス.

彼女はツイートした: “If you grew up poor, you knew that Santa favoured the rich kids.”

Speaking from experience, Kelly said she blamed herself for not receiving the expensive present she desperately wanted.

“Every year I chastised myself for not being good enough to get the roller skates [I wanted],” 彼女は付け加えた.

But it doesn’t have to be this way – 代わりに, Kelly urged parents to tell their kids what presents are from Santa and which ones they’d bought.

彼女は付け加えた: “I beg of you parents, make the big gifts from you.

“Their poor classmates are listening.”

Kelly’s tweet has racked up almost 17,000 “いいね” オン ツイッター and resonated with other users.

別の追加: “We’ve ALWAYS done presents from friends & family under the tree and Santa brings small gifts in a stocking on Christmas Eve. My colleague said she’s never had that issue growing up or with her kids & I’m like you’re wealthy & live in a wealthy area – you won’t.”
