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?

LOL Minnie. Go on...start that thread. I'm a bit fed up and would love to see a good bunfight!

Can't now - we're a DOD!

I thought it was a bit quiet on here, but really...

We leave out port and a mince pie and we find santa always draws a smiley 'thank you' face in the icing sugar snow.

We have glitter food this year too.

And we shall do the snowy footprints on the mat ... can't wait!

DGC just arrived (excited, me - just a bit!).

We always leave out a glass of sherry and mince pie for Santa and carrots for Rudolph.

Tis the rules from Christmas past.

Mince pie and a cup of tea for FC and a carrot and a bowl of water for Rudolph. We're very traditional here but don't approve of drunk driving

santa told my children when we visited his grotto on monday that he would like a cup of tea,a biscuit and an apple cut up for rudolph.thought was bit cheeky as dd had just been telling him that they planned to leave out a glass of sherry,a mince pie for santa and a carrot and bowl of milk for the reindeers.he said,i dont want that this year!

another one who leaves out a couple of biscuits with a glass of milk for santa and a carrot for Rudolph

coke. Ds saw Santa drinking it on the advert and now won't accept anything else. A bottle has been sat on the fireplace all week. I went to open it last night and my (childless male) friend told me off for even considering swiping santa's coke.

flame!how could you?

We made choc chip cookies for Santa today :)

Mince pie and glass of water for poor Santa (and lucky dh, who loves mince pies) and carrot for Rudolph...and dd2 (4) has wrapped a wrinkly parcel for Santa, because she feels so sorry for him giving presents all the time and not getting any.

She woke me up at 3am to tell me that last bit, before anyone tells me how sweet that is

We have left out two mince pies and a glass of red wine for Father Christmas. For Rudolph we have put out an apple.

When I was a child it was a mince pie and a sherry!

Merry Christmas to you all.

This year DD ages 3 has chosen to leave a little tray out with:

A little glass of mango juice
A satsuma (they are DDs favourite, Santa will like them)
Carrot for Rudolph
Mince pie

Took lots of photos.... had forward thinking day dream to when she's out at friend's party mocking the believers at home..... sigh...

As Rudolph will munch the whole carrot... no body will be biting into it.

I LOVE IT!!!!

my girls have put down a mince pie, a chocolate chip cookie and a snowval for santa and for the reindeers a bowl of milk and 9 carrots lol

*snowball

Santa's got 2 yogurts here lemonade, orange juice. Rudolph has reindeer food and a carrot.

my dc's left out greggs sausage rolls, pombears and a fruitshoot

ok seriously mince pie carrot and milk

We leave a glass of baileys and either jam tarts, cookies or brownies. One each for FC and Mrs C and one cut up into very small pieces for the elves. Carrot and a parsnip for rudolph, reindeer food and a bowl of water.

my friend has spent half hour throwing carrots onto her roof for the reindeers, not sure why she dont trust santa to take them up!

DD has put out choc biscuit, glass of milk and grapes

Dd wanted to leave a mince pie and a glass of milk, I added the carrot for Rudolph, then thought who will have to munch that then?! oops!

Few years ago dc1 put a slice of toast out for Santa, thought it would make a nice change. Can't spare any carrots so reindeers will get some oats.

Carrot bitten into, crumbs left, glasses empty, flour-and-glitter footprints left... I think we're there!

Merry Christmas one and all

I put his glass of Bailey's ready early for him - but the bugger must be in a time-warp as it's already been emptied!!!

My sister put out oats and glitter for the reindeer :)
