Current parenting best practice is to have Santa bring one gift that's not the ~~penultimate~~ best gift of the day. Helps prevent kids from realizing too early that Santa tends to favor the rich kids.
Why specifically not the penultimate?
That way the rich parents can still spoil their little shit but it wasn't Santa that brought them the ps5 pro and little Billy the knock off retro console
I'm just confused what it is specifically about the second to last gift
I think they meant “ultimate”
Yeah, I'll admit I don't get it either.
Wait does penultimate not mean "best one" this is the first time I've heard this
You might be thinking preeminent. Penultimate means second to final (ultimate being final)
Fun fact, there's words all the way up to fifth to last! ultimate, penultimate, antepenultimate, preantepenultimate, propreantepenultimate
Neat
Penultimate means 2nd to last
Thanks someone else got me as well. Always time to learn
i learned it from the Series of Unfortunate Events books, the 12th one is called "The Penultimate Peril" and the 13th is "The End"
Santa brings our kids like socks and maybe some candies. Mom and Dad get that good shit.
"Aren't socks like the worst gift dad?"
"No buddy, socks are the best gift, Santa knew you needed some."
He knows I'm full of shit, but I do love a good pair of socks.
Santa can't make an Xbox at the workshop buddy it uses proprietary parts
