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?

Bet you wish you had a time machine to go back and check for empty wine
bottles. Santa may have refilled the glass after emptying it.

Because he's driving, Santa doesn't get the beer he'd likely
appreciate. Oh well, it wouldn't hold well anyway.

Other than that...A selection of the homeade Christmas cookies. And a
Carrot for the reindeer.

At our house, Santa gets a beer and beef jerky. Dad says he appreciates the
real stuff after being bombarded with milk and cookies, some which came from
a box bought after last Christmas. He seems to appreciate it, as the kids
really haven't complained much about what they get.

My kids toss out reindeer food on the lawn before going to bed. Cookies
and milk for the fat man.

My kids have found that more gets left in their stockings if Santa is left a
big deli-style sandwich and a soda.

Weeeel, let's see. Since I haven't believed in Santa since I was about 4
years old... nothing. Set out nothing, unless you plan to eat it yourself
which is what the parents do. I'm not a parent (nor do I ever want to be
one). My choice would be a nice warm herbed brie with chunks of toasted
french bread to dip in it, sort of fondue-ish but not quite. YUM! And no
Santa no, Santa food. Sorry!.

I do enjoy some old holiday films, however. 'Holiday Inn' (1942) with Bing
Crosby and Fred Astaire is a great one! I recently got 'The Bishops Wife'
with Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young. I don't celebrate the
holidays but they do make for some good old movies

You give Santa *bought* cookies? Sheesh! We would never
have left anything but homemade cookies when I was leaving
cookies for Santa. It's a wonder if you ever got any presents
from him. ;-)

This year I'm giving him a piece of my mind. He's got
to learn to curb those reindeer!

Kate,

Back then, if Mom had made cookies for Santa, he certainly never would've
returned!!!

Andy mentioned his Tradition and then inquired:
==> Bribe or Gift? It's a Tradition! <==
> What are you giving Santa?

Santa is given five of the best cookies from the batch all three
daughter-units make for friends and family: a peanut butter cookie
with a chocolate kiss atop, a gingerbread man, a lemon drop, a lemon
bar, and a molasses cookie with candied fruit chunks (the name
escapes me but I think it's German). Daughter-unit Alpha also used
to set out a glass of whole milk but I convinced her that Santa
would be more jolly if they allowed me to pour him a dram of single
malt or a moderate pour of vintage port to fully enjoy their baking
endeavors. Spawn was the first to notice the joy Santa showed was
returned ten-fold...

It works for me, especially if the lap dance is from my Mrs.
Clause. Ho Ho Ho

Santa gets freshly made chocolate chip cookies at my house every year.
He might get peanutbutter cookies this year though. Everyone needs a
little change every now and then.
