Santa Fail

We had a faulty gift from Sana this year.

The ELC easel I bought Santa left, had a broken bit that went unnoticed at 1 am when Santa was setting up the lounge room, but collapsed on Boxing Day while we were setting it up for it's first use.

Blow molded plastic failure.
ELC are great and have apologised and have offered me reply post replacement, in store replacement or a refund.  I'm going to do in store replacement, but it poses a little problem.  Well two actually.

Firstly the Munchkin is 2 and traumatised by the collapse of the easel and I don't think he is going to be going near it without a lot of encouragement.

Secondly, the Little Man has been all over the Santa myth since Christmas eve.  He's snooped around, talked about wrapping paper and boxes in the garage.  He wants to know what is happening with the easel and why I have the box for it.

I'm calling this the big Santa fail.  Sadly, I think the Little Man has lost all faith and it will be interesting to see how he approaches next Christmas.

Have you ever had a Santa Fail?

    oh well. The good thing is at least you'll have a replacement! And it makes perfect sense to be able to exchange a faulty item at the shops, even if Santa was the delivery man. :-)

    I remember my Baby Alive doll arriving as a Baby Dead. I also remember waiting and waiting with great anticipation, for my Mum to come back from the city, where she was going to see if the people in the shop would exchange it for us.


    As to the box - do you really think that Santa wants to drag all that stuff back to the North Pole when he can just leave it in your recycling here?
