I assume many of you that are posting "dumbasses" don't have kids?
Quiet honestly getting your kids what they asked for, and making their Christmas "wishes" come true is what Christmas is about as a parent, and some parents will go to great lengths (including standing in line for 2hrs in 20 degree weather) to give that incredible feeling to their children (and in turn themselves) on Christmas morning.
Who here has never stood in line for tickets for a concert, or a sports event or for some LCD TV on Black Friday? Get over yourselves.
Children need to be taught to resist consumerist brainwashing. A parent indulging a child's unreasonable needs will only create larger future needs and decreased enjoyment. As teenagers, they will not understand their unhappiness even though they possess all the current hot and trendy products.
A parent's role is to teach a child, not indulge.
