because they didn't get exactly what they wanted?
My parents told me "Santa can't and won't always get you exactly what you want for Christmas, but you shouldn't stop believing and still be thankful for what you do get." -

That's the thing I never got either. As a kid, one year a neighbor dressed up as Santa and came to our Christmas Eve party, there's still a picture in the album of me wide eyed when he came through the door. He gave me a Barney coloring book and a set of crayons, nothing that I'd asked for, nothing that I'd have the presence of mind to actually want, didn't matter, even at 4-5 years old I knew our presents came from our parents, but I also believed in Santa Claus, and he came to our house, that was all that mattered to me. I can't really explain it, but for me it was enough just to believe that he was real, didn't matter that he never brought us anything. So even as a kid it struck me as a dumb idea to stop believing in Santa just because you didn't get what you wanted.
