"...the tenth most popular Christmas wish on the list was a 'Dad'."

Merry Christmas everyone.

And for you Dads out there, it’s nice to know (or maybe sad to know) that you are the 10th most requested gift from Santa according to an article at The Telegraph:

When it comes to Christmas, it might be safe to assume children will ask Santa for an extensive list of toys, games and treats.

But a survey of their typical lists for Father Christmas has shown many have more serious concerns, requesting “a dad” instead.

A study of 2,000 British parents found most children will put a new baby brother or sister at the top of their Christmas list, closely followed by a request for a real-life reindeer.

A “pet horse” was the third most popular choice, with a “car” making a bizarre entry at number four.

Despite their material requests, the tenth most popular Christmas wish on the list was a “Dad”.
