We never had milk in our household when I was younger...or vegetables 0_0...(HEY I'M 20 and I turned out just fine...)
so I always left FRESCA or some other soft drink and meatloaf or whatever we had for dinner that night (because my cookies were way too precious to share) next to the nativity scene and my sealed letter to santa (which I later in life found in an old shoebox in the closet along with my other letters...yes it was traumatizing...)
...in my innocent mind I think I thought I was being eccentric and relieving the fat white guy from messed up ginger bread cookies made by runny nosed kids....:p
anyway, just wondering if anyone did the same or actually left special cookies and ?% milk....
I've been feeling Christmasy lately...so someone humour me

Milk and cookies? No. But like any good Aussie we used to leave Santa a can of beer and some carrots for his reindeer.

When I was a kid, we always made Santa a special cookie to leave out on Christmas Eve. I've continued that tradition with my kids. I always let them decorate a Santa shaped cookie however they want. We leave it on a plate with a glass of milk and a thank you note for stopping by.
We also leave carrots for the reindeer. They get hungry too, ya know! :)

Haha, yes, I left milk. And cookies. And my dad always used to warn me to leave out oatmeal raisin cookies, cause those were santa's favorite.
Funny how I never realized that Santa and my dad had the same favorite cookie!

We always used to leave cookies and milk (2%), and carrots too. I can recall being quite upset the one year we had no cookies...thinking Santa wouldn't come!

Here's a funny story for you.
Many years ago my brother wanted to mix a little psychedelic stuff in Santa's cookies. He was mad at the kid that lived on the corner and figured Santa would get "high" and would bypass his house.
A few days after Christmas, when in school, he overheard that boy say that he didn't get anything for Christmas. My brother really though he was on to something. The next two years mom, dad and I would laugh when he said who he was mad at this year and wanted to "spike" Santa's cookies again.
We thanked him for not wanting to "spike" Rudolph's carrots. He did offer some semblance of sensibility when he said he didn't want them to crash and hurt Santa. Which we though was very generous of him in that respect.

LOL at Noonienoodles - I live in Australia too and Santa always has a cold beer to quench his thirst in my house before he carries on with his duties. I hope they never breathalise him! We also leave carrots for the reindeer.

LOL.. I did leave the milk, but like you, cookies were a precious commodity in my household, so he got wheat thins or saltines with his milk.

lol! My parents were terrified of my growing up to discover they'd lied to me, and rejecting them. So every Christmas it was "there's no Father Christmas, but we like to pretend there is so we can give you stocking presents" (and every Easter, and every tooth we lost). So I never left milk and cookies, but we did joke that we needed to move house because he couldn't fit down the chimney...
