一项调查发现,“老爸”成为最受孩子欢迎的圣诞节礼物之一,排在孩子圣诞节心愿单的第十位。孩子们情愿为此放弃最新款iPad、玩具或新宠物。
 
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 reindeer2(驯鹿)
 
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". 
 
The survey, of consumers at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City, found children aged3 three to 12 years also wanted a dog, chocolate and a stick of rock. 
 
Traditional hopes for a white Christmas were represented by a wish for "snow" in ninth place, with sensible youngsters also requesting a "house". 
 
Of the top 50 festive4 requests, 17 related to pets and animals, with some imaginative children hoping for a donkey, chicken and elephant. 
 
iPhones and iPads also appeared on the list, with some quirky children asking for the moon, a time machine, a pond cover and beetroot. One child asked for Eva Longoria and another wanted Harry5 Styles from One Direction. 
 
A request for a "mum" reached number 23 on the list.
