Every year, my mom would take my cousin and I to the mall to see Santa and Archie. It was usually a pretty big day. Knowing it was selfish for us to sit there and ask Santa for a lot of things, we would discuss what was really important. Santa was a busy guy, after all. It was important for us to hit him with the thing we wanted most. We could just tell our moms what other things we wanted later. The benefit of having Archie (a 20 foot talking snowman for those who don't live in Akron) around the mall was that we could ask Santa for one thing, and Archie for another. We could ask for something really outlandish (like a big screen TV) and just ask for the real things later in a letter. Sometimes, if we wanted something really bad, we would ask both. I usually asked for things like American Girl Dolls and Barbies. Santa was usually really awesome to me. I usually got a lot of overalls and Beanie Babies. However, after our strategic Santa asking, there were three things he never brought.
