On Christmas Eve my kids got some carrots out of the fridge to put out for Santa's reindeer's, a mince pie for Santa and I insisted that Santa wanted a glass of Bailey's this year. In my family it would normally be sherry but I didn't want to get sherry in just for Santa this year so he had a Bailey's instead. When the kids were in bed I fed the carrots to the guinea pigs but left a bit as if a reindeer or two had, had a nibble, ate the mince pie leaving a few crumbs and drank the Bailey's, all for authenticity of course!
What did Santa and his reindeer get to eat on Christmas Eve in your household?

Yes, I used to do all those things when my children were little. I didn't get around to making mince pies this year thiough. ,Nobody missed them. It is lovely to give the children a sense of magic. Blessings

I think that Santa should be given a bottle of whiksy instead of baileys. Since England is cold at the moment and he could do with a glass or two whisky.

On Christmas Eve we left Santa and his Reindeer cookies and milk. I left Santa and his Reindeer cookies and milk. Well your probably wondering what kind of cookies and milk. Always sugar cookies and white milk. My kids said Santa wouldn't come if we changed his cookies and milk. So how? Can you have a Santa and his Reindeer if you change his cookies and milk. I heard a new one this year Cheese and Coke. It sounds like Santa and the reindeer are getting a variety.

Back when I was a child I always used to leave santa mince pie and carrots for his reindeer, and a special potato for Rudolph! I never left him a drink, not that I was mean or anything but I didn't want Santa to be caught by the police for being drunk in charge of a sleigh and he had so much work to do I didn't want him to miss any children out because he was too tipsy to deliver or end up getting stuck in a chimney, the things we say when we are kids!

Santa was getting to fat this year and told me he did not want any cookies and milk. LOL! So we just sprinkled cinnamon oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer.
