We always put a pile of oreos on a plate with three glasses of milk (one from
each of us, a "Who's Santa's favorite?" thing). Mom always put out a plate
with cheese and crackers and a glass of wine next to our plate. "Let's just
see who's been good!" she'd say.
Christmas morning we'd wake each other up and tip toe down the hall. We were
always delighted that Santa only took a small bite out of a cheese and
cracker and no wine but finished all the oreos and milk, leaving three
Hershey kisses on our plate and a red M&M on Mom's plate!!! We knew right
then, we'd been good! But we had to contain our joy because if we woke up
Mom and Pop, they'd threatened to give our presents to the kids next door. It
was torture!!! Played us like a fiddle, they did!
What are you giving Santa?
