I love that conversation. I wish I'd been able to have that level of conversation with my son when he was that age, but his inability to have that sort of conversation then was more of a factor in my belief that he is actually High Functioning Autistic rather than Asperger's (He's in his 20s now and was running at the leading edge of the diagnosis in our area).
OTOH, what we did do was play the Santa Game, and at the same age, we smuggled presents in our luggage when we went to Florida over the Christmas holidays (flying home on Christmas Day).
I was able to have the same sort of discussion with him about the Teacher Game, though.
