A British mother is outraged after a shopping centre Santa promised her seven-year-old son a £400 ($685 AUD) gift.
Linda Belnik, a building company director, visited the Westfield shopping center in West London to visit Santa with her seven-year-old son Joshua, and five-year-old twins Jasmine and Jasper.
While he was perched on Santa’s lap, Joshua was apparently promised the Star Wars Death Star Lego set.
AND THE STAR WARS DEATH STAR LEGO SET IS VERY EXPENSIVE, SANTA.
Joshua, being seven years old, has not forgotten what Santa promised him and is now posing with a disgruntled pout for Metro UK online.
His mum Linda has since had to pry Joshua’s vice-like grip from the anticipated Star Wars Death Star Lego set, and explain to him that Santa is a silly old bugger who’s losing his marbles.
“I had already told Joshua he is not getting the present, so that’s why it’s even more upsetting as he now truly believes he is,” she says.
“He’s walking around saying Santa said he will get the toy.”
Nice one, Joshua. You have this NAILED.
“As a parent, I had made the decision he would not be getting the set as it costs so much. It’s put me in a really awkward position,” Linda continued. (Post continues after gallery.)

Agree with most people here, she is looking for a freebie!
Sounds like shes destroying a santas reputation to get a freebie. The mall offered a reasonable gift and she turned it down. That screams scammer.
