    PS- If you were my kiddo and you questioned why the beer can was returned to the fridge, I would have told you Santa had been given 1 too many beers for his safe sleigh riding plans.

    We left cookies and milk when I was a kid and I did that with my kids and we also sprinkled "reindeer" food on the front yard which was oatmeal and glitter..lol!

    Now I wish someone would leave some green stuff for Santa since I am him!

    What do you mean you're Santa!! I've always left cookies and milk... This year prob. little gingerbread cookies that i'll make with my 3 year old. :-) reindeer food sounds like a great idea too!

    When we were kids, my sister and I would leave eggnog and mince pies. I think the idea was just to get rid of the eggnog (YUK), but the mince pies? I don't know why I didn't eat those for Santa! Delicious!!

    i never understood this. why would the reindeer be inside the house? and if you took them up to the roof, then why would santa bring the uneaten pieces back?

    when i was a kid, my dad used to leave a beer for santa. he would tell my brother and i that he was working hard, and could use a break. we didn't leave milk and cookies, or carrots for the reindeer.

    i figured out my parents were santa when i counted the beers in the fridge the night before, and that same beer was back in the fridge in the morning.
    wouldnt of worked at our house...my dad would of drank that sucker! Maybe my kids should leave a 6 pack on the table for santa!! lol "he" would enjoy it very much.

    We would alternate as kids.. Rum & Coke and Tim Tams one year and the next Beer and Rum Balls. Funnily enough I remember my parents arguing over which year it was *ponder* :p

    Now we leave out some milk and some wrapped chockies or something for Santa, he half drinks the milk and leaves his wrappers lying about, lazy sod. And the reindeers leave grated carrot all over the landing and kick over their water buckets. *heavy sigh*

    we always did milk and cookies. I would leave carrots for the reindeer. The milk would always be mostly drank, with cookie crumbs on the plate. The carrots would just be gone completely (as Santa would take those up to the roof in his pocket)

    We always left beer and a roast beef sandwich. My grandfather told us Santa got tired of cookies and milk.
