Home made by dd2 mince pie and small Bailey's for Santa, and one carrott for the reindeer to share, here. Dd2's reasoning was that they get carrotts everywhere...she looked a bit put out when I pointed out Santa gets a snack almost everywhere too Xmas Grin

Mince pie and a can of coke.

Queenofthebrae · 24/12/2018 21:25

Mendingfences · 24/12/2018 21:30

A mince pie, 3 gingerbread biscuits, an after eight, 3 'chess square' biscuits, a carrot a bowl of water and a glass of milk. Dd1 claimed a more errm interesting drink would be encouraging drink driving......

In America it's always 'milk and cookies'. Heathens! As if the poor old bugger wants cold milk on a bleak midwinter night! He needs something to keep the cold out.
Mince pies and a hefty tot of brandy here, though Gdd (3) did insist on milk as well - she likes it so much, she assumes FC is the same.

Piggyhoolier · 24/12/2018 22:44

Coke with mince pie and a carrot here too. Tried to hint that Santa would prefer a beer or maybe a glass of wine to add variety to his rounds but they were insistent on the cola. And they wrote a note to him saying it was red coke as he’d need the sugar boost for energy on his big night Grin

Mince pie and a biscuit because they couldn't decide and a rather hefty amount of whiskey. DC's were in charge and poured half a mug. Happily I too like whiskey...

sophisticatedsarcasm · 24/12/2018 22:51

In ours he has a mince pie. Some gingerbread this year aswell and a can of coke.

blueskiespls · 24/12/2018 22:55

Mince pie and cranberry juice here!

badreams · 24/12/2018 23:20

Kids went to bed ages ago and just realised I forgot to get them to leave something out for the big man! Blush first year ever we've never put snacks out for santa!! They went up to bed without complaint and didn't mention the lack of baileys and chocolate log for santa!

ShowOfHands · 24/12/2018 23:24

Milk and a mince pie here. Carrot for the reindeer. I have it on good authority that Father Christmas loves ice cold milk [teetotal]

Bogiesaremyonlyfriend · 24/12/2018 23:25

Nesquick chocolate milk and a homemade gluten free cookie shaped like a Christmas tree. And a carrot for the reindeer of course

azulmariposa · 24/12/2018 23:25

Jam tart (dd made it!) and a glass of port.
Always used to be a mince pie and brandy when I was little!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 24/12/2018 23:26

Mince pie and pernod in our house.

LiquoricePickle · 24/12/2018 23:33

Mince pie and whisky and a carrot!

Bubblysqueak · 24/12/2018 23:33

We've left 2 mince pies, 2 carrots, a chocolate spread sandwich and a cup of milk!

Onehellofaride · 24/12/2018 23:34

Mince pie and baileys here plus 9 carrots!(One for every reindeer!)

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 24/12/2018 23:38

Apparently the Santa that DD saw the other week asked for a hot chocolate and a mince pie. She fell asleep watching a film, but I promised her we would put bit out for her. Realised we didn't have any carrots, so I've just sliced up an apple (thanks google!) and taken a large bite out of each piece. I've left mince pie crumbs, but the dog will probably clear them up and the apple pieces too

HoobleDooble · 24/12/2018 23:59

My DS said he thought Santa would be bored with all the mince pies, so he's left him a KitKat, a Babybel and a vodka & tonic 😁

Tia Maria (because the coffee element will keep him going), some homemade chocolate chip cookies and one carrot.
