Tremendous for H to realize not only that her parents had given her stuff all those years, but did it without any hope of recognition or thanks, since Santa gets the thanks. For year after year.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

We got her an iPhone 8 Plus, with 256GB (she's pretty techy and likes to make videos for class projects, etc.). She got a case and screen protector and some other minor gifts, but that was it.
Near the end, when her 2 year old sister had several cheap toys under the tree, and no one had any other presents, I could tell she was a little sad. I pulled her aside and asked if she was alright. She said, "Dad, I wasn't even excited to wake up this morning. I wanted to sleep more than I wanted to get up. I love the phone, but this year, Christmas changed. I'm a little bummed, but I know I shouldn't be. I got exactly what I asked for." I gave her a big hug and told her I understood.
Why do they have to grow up??!!"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

BTW, I wasn’t referring to parental idiocy in assembling and poorly hiding gifts. I was referring to the kind of idiocy where you get drunk and jump of the balcony. When that goes OK you figure it is a good idea to go up to the next floor and jump off that balcony."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."
