"Nothing says Christmas spirit like a child's heartfelt letter to Santa asking for a sleigh filled with presents. But it's 2013, so an Amazon link will totally suffice.\nTwitter user @Gequeoman tweeted a letter to Jolly Old St. Nick that replaced an old-fashioned list of toys with a URL that gets straight to the point. \nSee also: 15 Totally Concerning Toys From Your Childhood\n\nDear Santa pic.twitter.com/715ZYRsr1n\n\u2014 Gequeoman (@Gequeoman) November 29, 2013\n\nWhile the letter's source hasn't been verified, it's not unreasonable to believe a small child wrote it. Many kids are now raised on iPads and smartphone apps.\nA few Redditors took the time to figure out which toy prompted this child's request to visit the North Pole. As it turns out, all he wants for Christmas is a $20 remote-controlled car. \nWho are we kidding? Jeff Bezos is basically Santa with free two-day shipping (and soon, perhaps, 30-minute delivery).\nBONUS: 10 Christmas Movies Made Less Magical by Adulthood\n \n\n\nChristmas Movies: Childhood vs. Adulthood\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. The Santa Clause: As a kid, you thought it was a comedy.\nWatch, as Tim Allen wears pants that are comically over-sized! His initials are already SC -- what a wacky coincidence!\n\nImage: Tumblr whatgiftoday\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: It's like a horror film. \n\nTrying to forget his part in an accidental death, a man's body morphs rapidly and inexplicably into someone he barely recognizes. \nIn light of these changes, his young son is taken away, and soon the police are on his tail. This is the plot of  The Santa Clause you won't find on the back of your old VHS case.\n\n\nImage: Tumblr whatgiftoday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Elf: As a kid, you thought Buddy would be the best friend ever.\nAn adult who won't yell at you when you burp or jump on the bed? The fact that he knew Santa personally was just a bonus. \n\nImage: Tumblr shaneoman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You wonder why Jolie didn't have more questions.\n\nWe know Buddy is really an adorably innocent, fake elf. So it's easy not to question Jolie's acceptance of the fact that he's not a peeping tom so easily. \nBut if this was an episode of Law and Order, Buddy might have a Christmas fetish -- and the next time they were alone, she'd launch a sharpened candy cane in the back.\n\n\nImage: Tumblr hanniballecters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas: As a kid, you were a little afraid of the Grinch. \nIf anything, for revealing the truth about Elmer's.\n\nImage: Tumblr exp3ctopatr0num\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You realize you are the Grinch. \nComplete with resistance to social engagements and emotions. \n\nImage: Tumblr bestgifreaction\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. It's a Wonderful Life: As a kid, you wished it was in color.\nYes, yes. We know. Messages of hope and love, and the importance of one man's life when it touches others. But black and white is so boring. \n\nImage: Tumblr moneynotorietyandriverias\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: What you gather from it is entirely based on your current place in life.\nIf you're happy with your career you can enjoy the film and the moral. If you're watching your Facebook friends travel the world and get promotions while you're still living at your parent's house you might focus on George Bailey's despair instead of his ultimate lesson. \n\nImage: Tumblr ustanothercinemaniac\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation:  As a kid, you fantasized about spraying your sleigh with PAM.\nNear-death experience or not, that looked friggin' awesome.\n\nImage: Tumblr daystilchristmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You wonder why they couldn't have found separate sleeping arrangements for the teenage siblings. \nNo one in the Griswold family ever heard of a cot or a sleeping bag?\n\nImage: Tumblr getthegirlbuddy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Home Alone: As a kid, you thought Kevin's traps were awesome.\nIt was like playing Mousetrap, but with fire.\n\nImage: Tumblr multitudeofgifs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow:  You realize he skipped an important step.\n\nWhat a self-sufficient kid, grocery shopping and setting a series of deadly traps for would-be burglars.\nBut if Kevin was capable of hitting the town for a toothbrush and some detergent, wouldn't it have been easier to just swing by the police department?\n\n\nImage: Tumblr constantconversations713\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. White Christmas: As a kid, you giggled at the drag show.\nAnd the lip syncing. \n\nImage: Tumblr aaronpauled\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You learned to keep your break-up emotions private.\nBecause you never know when your ex is going to show up at the karaoke bar where you're crying and singing Adele. \n\nImage: Tumblr aaronpauled\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Gremlins: As a kid you desperately wanted a Gremlin. \nThey were so cute and fluffy! Like the eventual walking and poop-scooping that would follow a new puppy, you eliminated the possibility that your Gremlin might become a scaly monster.\n\nImage: Tumblr thetacostand\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You worry about the poor high school kids who seem to run the town.\n\nThe kids are definitely not all right. High schooler Billy and his girlfriend are both bank tellers with their own name tags and everything -- which seems a little strange, but not unheard of. \nBut why is a high school girl handling the week-day night shift at a bar? And is she in therapy to deal with discovering the truth about Santa in the world's worst possible way?\n\n\nImage: Tumblr in-love-with-movies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. A Christmas Story: As a kid, you totally understood the need for a certain Christmas gift. \nAdults may not have understood, but without that one special gift, Christmas is just pointless. \n\nImage: Tumblr daystilchristmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You realize a BB gun was the least of these kids' problems.\nWhy wasn't anyone watching the kids when they were experimenting with spit-freeze? Why didn't a parent wait with them in line at the mall? \n\nImage: Tumblr joanwatsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Home Alone 2: As a kid, you wanted to be Kevin.\nJohn Mulany said it best.\n\nImage: Tumblr bilqisb\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You worry about becoming the pigeon lady.\nYou've been hurt. You like to feed the birds. All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.\n\nImage: Tumblr imagination-for-dreamers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Flickr,  moonlightbulb\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
