Milk and cookies for Santa? Carrots for his reindeer? What do you leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave any evidence he has been at your house?
- We leave milk and cookies for Santa. Samantha
- We leave a carrot for the reindeer and a fruit mince pie for Santa and a glass of milk, Santa leaves crumbs and the reindeer leaves the end of the carrot. Sad that some parents take away the joy of Christmas for a child, believing in make believe characters actually teaches a child to dream and imagination, it makes a childhood magical and special, it’s not lying its giving the gift of a wonderful childhood! Sophie
- We leave biscuits and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Santa usually leaves a few crumbs on the plate and this year will be leaving footprints from the fireplace to the presents. Carmen
- I love to see my little boy use his imagination when it comes to Santa and Easter bunny, he is only 2 and if he wants to believe in either of them until he knows better then I’m all for it, no way is it lying to them, it’s called childhood and it’s not going to hurt them in the long run! Let kids be kids and enjoy these special times! Lucy

- Carrots, water. A drink for Father Christmas. All outside as my eldest does not like the idea of a strange person in his home whilst he is sleeping. One year he even gave the postman some Christmas cake as he believes the postie helped Father Christmas out.
The children make magic stuff for the reindeer too. Oats and glitter helps the reindeers fly. Vanessa

We leave sultanas in small clumps and the kids(5,3,2) think it is reindeer poop.
