The children are asking it with wondering and hopeful expectations of what Santa Claus is likely to bring them. The older people are asking it, not so much in speculation legarding the remembrances that Christmas will bring to them, but rather as an inquiry as to how they are to provide suitable and satisfactory presents for relatives and friends without too heavy a drain upon their time and purse.
