This is, and has always been the worst side. When I was a kid, we weren't rich but below average to average. I had a lot of rich friends who used to get presents WAY better than the ones I got. This made me think that they were better kids than I was because Santa gave them better presents. This is the real problem... (besides lying to kids) We can afford nice presents for our son now but how about the poor kid who might become my son's friend. I think that parents can give their kids what they want if it's from themselves but when it comes from Santa, maybe it should be just a small present and a stocking filler. Maybe this would weaken the 'better watch out, better not cry’ threat. The real problem is rich kids and poor kids comparing the presents that they got from Santa.
