brynnfromtheblock Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 We used to do just cookies and milk... then my dd got an air hockey table (which we had to give her before christmas) and when it appeared we found out the top was cracked so we had to return it.... she couldn't figure out why Santa gave her a cracked table so we told her that we thought the reindeer wasn't happy that we didn't leave out any carrots for them so they took a bite out of the table, but that if we did on Christmas Eve Santa would bring us a new table... so now we leave carrots for the reinder too...
scrabbler Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 My kids always knew it was us...one year we were on Atkins so the kids put out diet soda and meat sticks!! LOL
holly2hottie Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Cookies and milk for santa, carrots or celery for reindeer. Then My husband shreds some of the carrots and celery on the porch and shows the kids what messy eaters the reindeer are.
abentley Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Well here, Santa requests peanut clusters,cookies and milk. I have also scattered oatmeal mixed with glitter( that goes with a cute little poem which I have forgotten) out in our yard for the reindeer. But my kids have never woken up on their own!! EVER!! We make them all sleep in one bedroom, hook up a baby moniter and listen. Then my husband will get impateint by 7:00, climb out our bedroom window and rattled sleighbells against their window until they wake up!!!

monkey Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 It's cookies and milk inside for Santa. On the outside it is hay and sweetfeed for the reindeer. We live on a farm so the wild animals get a treat too.
copados1993 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 cookies and milk, and in the past we've left reindeer food outside.
jskarp Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 My credit card statements. We do milk and whatever we bring home for pastry from our Christmas Eve visits. The reindeer get whatever fruit is available................good thing the reindeer that flyover our house are not finicky eaters. LOL
pamlet Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Cookies and milk... baby carrots for Rudolph and Co. My "kids" are 22 and 17 and we are STILL doing this... laugh.. When the kids were little "Santa" would leave a thank you note... then one Christmas my oldest recognized "Santa's" handwriting looked suspiciously like Daddy's.... He came to me and said it "confirmed his suspicions" .. he was 8 and had a large vocabulary... laugh... He told me not to worry he wouldn't tell his little brother..
Illinoismom Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 spiked Eggnog and a special suger cookie, and carrots for the reindeer
momof5plus1hubby Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Brownie and choc milk because Santa gets sick of all the cookies LOL...Carrots and reindeer food
Turtle Mommy Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 We do cookies and a can of Pepsi. :lol This year it will have to be diet because "Santa" gave up regular Pepsi. We also do the reindeer food outside. (I will be doing reindeer "poop"(wet dry dog food!) this year outside thanks to someone's idea here! Thanks to who posted that!)
Cecilliadb Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 My Mom was a health nut growing up so we used to leave all sorts of stuff for santa not just milk and cookies, some times crackers and cheese or veggies and dip lol
sevirj Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 We leave out milk & cookies for Santa and a Carrot for Rudolph
berry1014 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 milk and cookies for santa and celery for the reindeer.
JazzMama Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 We leave homemade cookies and an empty glass (Santa gets his milk from the fridge so it's cold). Then, we put a plastic bowl of oats and carrots outside (since the reindeer stay outside).
lilac100 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I like the carrot Idea. I might have to add that to my cookies and milk this year.
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Cookies and Milk. My husband forgot to eat them before going to bed last year and woke up in the middle of the night and had a snack. LOL
Melissa Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Cookies and milk. If we happen to have any carrots on hand, we might leave a few out for the reindeer. :hert: :hert: :hert: :hert:
