What are you leaving for santa tonight?

[PuttingDownRoots]

Inspired by DDs cobbling together what they could in our holiday apartment...

We have two cookies, a can of beer and an apple for the reindeer.

What treats will he get at yours?

Dd age 4 choice: jam sandwich, apple, banana, cheese biscuits, carrot and water. She was worried he might have missed his tea in the rush to get all the presents in the sleigh....

Love that

A mince pie AND a Jammie Dodger for Santa, plus some milk in a festive mug shaped like a boot. We were just going to do the JD but DS asked to put a mince pie out as well.

Some carrot batons and a bowl of water for the reindeer (in DD's old Go Jetters bowl). Last year they had some cherry tomatoes!

Carrots for the reindeer, mince pie for Santa and a large glass of water "so he can stay hydrated" 🤣🤣

A glass of Baileys, a mince pie and a couple of mini stollen bites from Lidl because, I am reliably informed by my two year old, they are ‘so yum yum’
And a bag of carrots for the reindeer, naturally

Carrot for the reindeer; homemade mince pie & glass of gin mixed with cloudy lemonade - DH was adamant that Santa would prefer the gin to milk

Homemade cheese biscuits and hard liquor (dd's description) for Santa and a satsuma for the reindeer as we forgot to buy carrots!

Mince pie, glass of sherry and a carrot

Absolutely! ❤️ 🦌

A cupcake an advent chocolate, carrot for rudolph and lucozade sport to keep his energy up

Carrot for the reindeer, mince pie and a baileys for Santa

Can of brew dog and a mince pie for Father Christmas and a carrot and a bowl of water for the reindeer as apparently they get thirsty with all the carrots and hot drink.

Mince pie, carrot, sippy cup of squash for Santa and a beaker of water for Rudolf. And some reindeer food made at nursery (3yo and 8mo).

Cookies, milk and carrots for the reindeer.

A mince pie and a glass of ginger wine.

Carrot for Rudolf and a second mince pie for the elves.

Glad to see so many still leaving booze - recently the milk and cookies thing seems to have taken over. Poor man.

From DD4 we've done: reindeer food on the lawn, and a mince pie and can of "black soda as the fizzy will help Santa be speedy" (can of Lidl cola 😂). DH ate the mince pie; leaving suitable evidence, and we're currently discussing whether to open the can or put it back in the cupboard....

We have one normal plate with normal things on. And one that contains a carrot, a mini cucumber, a cupcake, a peppa pig yogurt and a lime done by ds (2)

great to see the variety!! Here Father Christmas is getting a glass of sherry (usually it’s port but he will have to make do), a carrot for reindeer and a homemade mince pie. Usually he only eats part of the mince pie but this year he absentmindedly ate the whole thing.

My kids are 13DS, 15DD & 17DS. The 13yr old put out a carrot, a cookie and a glass of milk (no drinking & driving/flying!). When it came to putting out the reindeer food the 17yr old DS was the first down the stairs. DD refused to be videoed, but we had fun 😊.

A pile of ironing.

A mince pie, carrot for the reindeer and reindeer food out in the garden, and a baileys.
Santa may have already drank the baileys and started on a second one

Carrot for Rudolph and for Father Christmas a mince pie and some Jack Daniels

Milk, carrot and mince pie on the santa tray that arrived this evening on the Xmas Eve bag.

Glass of Buck's Fizz, mince pie and a carrot for the reindeer. I'll sneak the mince pie back in the packet because Santa has had too many snacks and has acid reflux 😫

Mince pie and candy cane (DDs choice!), and whiskey. Carrot and reindeer food for reindeer.
