AIBU to insist that Santa would prefer gin and chocs

[whendotheyleavehome]

instead of raw carrot and sherry?

Sooooooo NBU

YANBU although in our house its mince pies and malt whiskey.

YANBU. It's always been RFoses and Whisky Mac in our house - and the carrot gets recycled as Xmas lunch.

FC is getting a carrot and a snowball.

DH bought a Santa outfit yesterday - I'm wondering for whose benefit...

Everyone knows he loves G&T and chocs... it's the rules!

My eldest two kids asked me and DH if we wanted mince pies as usual or would we prefer chocolate biscuits this year. Who says the magic has to stop when they don't believe anymore

Oh I agree. DH says santa wants whisky and a mince pie. I say that Santa wants G&T and a slice of chocolate cake.

We both agree on the carrot for the reindeer though.

Dh is arguing for whisky. Dd is worried he may get drunk if everyone leaves him booze and wants to leave him milk.

All agreed on mince pie though.

Our Santa is getting Xmas biscuits and a bottle of bud.

Santa here is having a Champagne cocktail

When I was little, Father Christmas used to request diet coke and a kit kat.

I'm pretty sure he'll fancy a Baileys when he gets near our house

Santa gets vodka and a mince pie here.

Although DH wants to leave him beer. I did all the food shopping so I win!

Baileys at our house, a festive cupcake and a carrot for the reindeer

We used to leave milk and a mince pie, and a carrot for Rudolph. My Mum used to take a bite from the carrot to show Rudolph had eaten some!

When I was about 17 I insisted to my Dad we left a mince pie and some sherry, and that 'Santa' had to eat it. I knew Santa didn't exist, obviously, and he was absolutely bemused at my insistence He still did it though!

Whisky and mince pie for FC and his helper. Carrot and reindeer food for Rudolph.

It was always WHiskey and a mince pie here! DD is now 16, and I still drink 'Santa's Whiskey' when I get in from midnight service. I can do it in a leisurely fashion now, though, not kneck it to leave time for secret stocking manoeuvres.

santa has a glass of port and lindt chocolate truffle here tonight.

Poor Santa is having Lucozade here tonight and a mince pie and some pink smarties. Rudolph has a carrot.

DC think Lucozade is great - something the only get when they've been ill.

i-fancy Santa fancies some ginger wine tonight with the mince pie.

Dd wants to leave Milk and a biscuit, she has made and decorated the biscuits herself.
I told that he'll need a whiskey by the time he gets here, or a brandy. She just gave me a weird look and walked away. We'll see what she leaves him later.

He's getting Baileys and chocs from us so YANBU

Blackcurrant juice and a spiced orange cupcake here. Also a bowl of water and magic oats for rudolf (oats with glitter) to help him fly.

Usually a mince pie and a beer here - homemade fairy cake and a glass of milk this year. (Think the milk will just go back in the bottle). Carrot for rudolf and sparkly oats to attract reindeer liberally sprinkled on doorstep. It's magic isn't it??
