    We recently asked the people of BuzzFeed Community to share the wildest things their kids have requested. Combined with the comments from a previous year's post on the topic, we thought we'd share our faves:

    1. "My almost five-year-old niece told me she wanted my 'fresh teeth'."

    "She told me to 'make sure they’re fresh. Or else!'. Thank goodness this was over FaceTime! I got her dolls, clothes, a Nerf gun, and a Frozen bike. I hope she soon forgets about my teeth because she brought it up AGAIN last week."

    2. "A Guy Fieri stuffed doll."

    "It came out of nowhere but we pulled it off thanks to a lot of panicky phone calls, reaching out to Guy Fieri’s team, and a lovely last-minute save from my friends' crafty grandmother who made the BEST doll."

    3. "When my nephew was four, he wanted 'green.'"

    "When he was five, he wanted a wolf suit. When he was seven, he wanted a tuxedo. That kid's a riot."

    "I don't even have acrylic nails. I have no idea where she even learned what they're called. Hopefully, she will be happy with some new nail polish instead."

    7. "My four-year-old is adamant that he wants to be a train (specifically a steam engine) when he grows up. So naturally, he asked for coal for Christmas."

    "He has gotten some extremely interesting looks when we have gone to see Santa. Don't worry. I have candy coal AND a small bag of REAL coal to go in his stocking. He is going to be so excited Christmas morning!"

    8. "A reindeer’s horseshoe."

    "He wanted to see if Santa could really get him anything he asked for. We dipped a pony’s horseshoe in glitter and he loved it!"

    14. "When my daughter was four (she's 12 now), she asked for exactly two things: a green present with a yellow star, and a box of raisin bran."

    "So I bought her a box of raisin bran, wrapped it in green paper, and made a yellow star to put on it. You would have thought she'd won the lottery, she was so happy!

    A couple of years after that, she asked Santa for a million dollars."

    "I thought she meant one of those jelly ones she’d seen but when I asked she looked at me, rolled her eyes, and said 'no mummy, an actual lion. Like the ones at the zoo.'

    I had to explain Santa probably wouldn’t manage to fit a large, carnivorous apex predator in her stocking."
