What is FC drinking these days?

[tinselandglittercoveredwincies]

We always left a glass of sherry and a mince pie out for FC. A friend was horrified when I said that I planned to do the same (ds is 2 so FC is now on the agenda), drink-driving message and all that.

Am I just getting old, or do other people leave out something non-alcoholic in these more aware times? I was looking forward to this perk of parenting once ds had gone to bed .

Jack n coke in our house. And Mrs C gets one too
DS is too young for drink driving message - we'll tell him that it's the reindeer that do the flying of the sleigh, FC does the delivery bit

And tell your freind to lighten up!

Dp tries to get the boys to leave out a Boddingtons every year (his favorite drink) as apparently it's FC's fave to, but i always get them to do milk, we won't have FC drink/driving. Silly i know but my DS is the sort to pick up on that sort of thing.

Hmm, dh and I like our real ale. Might be time to introduce FC to some 'proper' beer .

Bailey's in this house.

hmmmmm..... drunk in charge of a sleigh! i think would have to concoct a new charge for that one. pmsl

We always used to leave out a glass of milk, but i was born into a non-drinking family.

turps

ginger wine is always nice and warming I think..

Sherry in our house and a mince pie of cookie and a carrot for Rudolph.

I love the smell of sherry at Christmas it reminds me of Christmas when I was little visiting my relatives.

I think there are other issues kids will eventually want answered concerning an elderly gent magically appearing in houses leaving gifts after being chauffeured around by flying reindeer rather than if he drinks and drives!!

Father Christmas will be drinking whatever mummy fancies on Christmas Eve

Must be the only saddo who leaves milk out for FC then. Wouldn't mind, but neither DH or I like milk on its own so end up chucking it down the sink

Absinthe!

Absinthe!

Santa gets Whisky and cookies at our house, and a carrot for the reindeer.

Santa is too magical to be effected by alcohol otherwise wouldn't he be legless by the time he finished delivering to all the houses.

SS - fc will get milk in this house too, its DSs first xmas so it will become the tradition, milk, a mince pie and a carrot.

Just spent about 5 minutes trying to work out who FC was - my first thought was Feckin C*nt!

lol at 'absinthe' . (or should that be ?)

single malt in our house - how come I do all the shopping and wrapping but he gets all the credit

In my sister's house it'll be either Hot Chocolate or beer depending on who won!

It'll be a 1987 Warre's port here

Large gin & tonic, ice and lemon.

Thanking you....

Bailey's here - he loves it ya know ...there's never a drop left

Madam!

I'm relieved that we've not gone completely mad yet. It made sense not to have a boozy drink in a teetotal household, but I too thought that explaining away flying reindeer was likely to be more of a problems than FC's ability to metabolise alcohol!
