What are you putting out for Father Christmas (if you don't like brandy and mince pies)?

[MinnieMummy]

Just wondering what I he could have instead.

Maybe a glass of Baileys and something sweet from M&S? Any recommendations?

DD wants to leave fish pie and wine which is fine by us

I upset my parents as a child by stating that Santa couldn't drink drive so left milk for him with a mince pie!

Perhaps get the kids to make some cookies or cakes for santa on christmas eve?

Nothing since he doesn't exist

We have the drinking and driving thing too so it is milk, a couple of biscuits and a carrot for the raindeer.

We always leave a beer because the DD's are sure that he's sick of milk and brandy by the time he's reached our house!!

Shh Shiney! You'll make me cry!

I may be leaving him a nice cup cake and some mulled wine

DC have decided Santa is too fat so we are leaving him an apple. He's still allowed the sherry though

Hmm, maybe we could make Nigella's brownies Xmas eve for me and DH him.

Surely as long as the reindeer are sober it's ok to put out alcohol?

Glass of milk and a mince pie normally and a carrot for the reindeer (which my greyhound munches on outside the front door dropping bits of carrot which look like bits the reindeer dropped!)

Nooo, santa still has to drive the sleigh and make sure everyone gets the right presents.

Imagine all the upset children on christmas morning if a drunk santa gets things mixed up!

loaded question op

Homemade 'Mincy' and gingerbread biscuits, made by the boys and a glass of squash probably. :)

Ha ha ha SEA!

That would be good too... if we have any energy left...

Ach, Santa can handle the drink, I'm sure- he's a big lad. Here he gets a glass of port and a bit of shortbread. Rudolph gets a carrot, but strangely only ever eats one big massive bite...

Santa knows everything doesn't he? Would he know whether Leonardo was awake or asleep at the end of Inception I wonder?

Aaargh Corny I haven't seen it (in fact, haven't been to the cinema in 2 yrs) and now I'm sure it's completely ruined for me.

Should I ever be bothered to see it, that is...

(DH is a sucker for bombastic over the top sci-fi, so it seems likely)

Milk and biscuits in our house, plus a carrot for the reindeer...

The DCs have decided that we will make cookies on christmas eve to leave out with some milk. (Gotta fight my way home from work in the snow first!)

lol at Corny! I was confident that I understood that film at the end but didn't want to talk about it too much incase I didn't!

but was he awake or asleep

I always put out for Father Chiristmas

ahem, and mince pie and a glass of sherry of course!

Mince Pie, Sherry and a Carrot - my dear darlings are 2 x 19 and 1 x 21 they still insist!!

Santa really isn't fussy you know. He is always happy to nibble at whatever we have found to leave out. We do try and leave fruit or veg for the reindeer though.

Santa gets whatever DH suggests , and a mince pie. And Rudolph gets a carrot.

I can't wait till gone midnight for a drink fgs.

nursery made some rudolph food,rippied up paper and stars to me and u,very sweet though
