Dad's terrible Christmas gift

We always see how parents always look for the best gift that they could possibly give to their kids for Christmas and for their birthday. And I saw this video of a father giving his children their advance gift for Christmas, you can see how excited the kids were. They even know exactly what they want for their gifts when their father asked them. As their father hand over their gifts with all innocence and full excitement the kids opened their gift. The first to opened the gift was the little girl and she got an ''onion'' for a gift while the little boy got a ''banana'' for a gift. And at the end of the video both kids were grateful to their father for their gift. Some say that it was mean for the father to give his kids such a terrible gift, while some find it adorable on how kids reacted to their father's gift. My reaction? Kudos to the father, I find his gift very amazing in a sense that for me he has taught his kids to value every single thing that they have may it be something that they like or not. Commonly we see how kids cry, get pissed off and complain after receiving gifts that they didn't like. How they become so ungrateful after their parents' effort to buy them something for Christmas or for their birthday. But the kids in the video reacted differently, I don't think what their father gave them was a terrible gift. These kids have received more than a banana and an onion they have received something that they will learn from their father, that everything that they have is a blessing and that they should be thankful for that. If all parents raise their kids like this father did, we would have less selfish brats who only think of themselves in the future. And have more grateful people in the future just like those two kids. So please parents don't teach your kids that they deserve everything to a point that they think that they have every right to complain if what they wanted is not granted for whatever reason, instead, teach them to be grateful in both small and big things that they receive from you or from other people. Teach them to value little things and efforts of others. And you'll see how our kids will give a positive contribution to our future generation.

Yes spending time with kids and giving them what you can is the most important. Not having every gift in the world given.

When receiving a gift, "it's the thought that counts" ...
