what the heck is that…carrots? …And cookies? …And beer?
Santa maybe doesn’t want to mix that with the Vicodin I left out for him.
Chris says: Well the carrots are for the reindeer, though no doubt Santa could use a little roughage after eating all those cookies.
December 27th, 2007 at 12:23 amYou know, I have been thinking that when Sam is old enough to leave milk and cookies for Santa maybe beer would be better. I think maybe Santa gets enough milk. And I bet he’d like some nice potato chips, or maybe a pizza…
December 27th, 2007 at 1:10 amI bet he left some extra special presents at your place.
December 27th, 2007 at 1:10 amOh my, what cookies are those? I don’t think you’ve posted that recipe, unless I missed it.
That beer isn’t going to help that bowl full of jelly get down all those chimneys, but it sure will make it more fun.
December 27th, 2007 at 1:19 amNo, Santa needs the whole six pack. Thankuverymuch!
December 27th, 2007 at 3:12 amI totally understand where you are coming from. Beer is a traditional thing to leave out for Santa here in the land down under. As transplants from Chicago to Sydney, we are living through our 2nd Christmas and just starting to ‘understand’ the traditions. But beer for Santa sounds good!
December 27th, 2007 at 4:45 amMan, Santa has it good at your house!! Next year I think I’ll leave out a bottle of Wine or a Smirnoff Ice!!! Your giving me IDEAS!!!
December 27th, 2007 at 8:39 amSo glad I am not the only parent who provides the beer….no wonder the fat boy is so darn jolly!
December 27th, 2007 at 9:22 amHa! We leave carrots for the reindeer, too. My cat got a hold of one of the carrots and batted it around the house for an hour after the kids got in bed.
December 27th, 2007 at 9:22 amNo doubt Santa needs a cold one.
I would have thought with the gluten thing that they’d leave a glass of wine out for Santa
December 27th, 2007 at 9:45 amHAHA we left Beer for santa too!! The kids kept telling us santa doesnt drink and sleigh. Im glad someone else left him some beer too!
December 27th, 2007 at 10:02 amGood thing the reindeer stay sober!
December 27th, 2007 at 10:54 amThat is too cute!
One beer? Six pack? Case! Thankyouberrymuch.
December 27th, 2007 at 11:04 amThat’s too cute. When I was a kid we always left Santa a PB&J and a beer (helped him assemble all those tricycles!) Now my 4 kids do the same every year. This year we made the PB&J on red and green bread— garish, but Santa loved it!
December 27th, 2007 at 11:15 amI love that you leave carrots for the reindeer–that may be a tradition we steal… I mean, also adopt.
December 27th, 2007 at 11:40 amI bet your house is Santa’s favorite!
December 27th, 2007 at 11:52 amSanta got single malt whisky at our house. My husband was very insistent on that!
December 27th, 2007 at 12:00 pmFor many years now, Santa has gotten a glass of good wine and a small antipasto tray at our house. Believe it or not, it was my eldest’s idea when she was about 7.
December 27th, 2007 at 12:01 pm“I think if I were Santa, I’d get really sick of milk and cookies. Let’s leave cheese and crackers!”
The wine was Mom’s idea, since she knows Santa pretty well. Santa appreciates the break.
I grew up protestant in a conservative community where drinking was against most people’s religion except ours. Therefore my parents always conviced us that Santa liked our house best because we left wine and cheese . . . I am sure the kindergarten teacher loved it when my sister shared that information when the questions of “what do you leave for Santa” was the topic of the day!
December 27th, 2007 at 1:06 pmWe also leave carrots for the reindeer……nothing like munching all around those carrots to leave “reindeer bite marks” for the next morning.
December 27th, 2007 at 1:42 pmThat is so funny! My 3 year old said “mommy unless we are leaving chocolate milk for santa we should really give him something else to drink”. (My 3yo hates regular milk these days). I asked him what else do we have to leave him and he said “beer and moutain dew”. Well Beer and Mountain dew is what santa got! My son however has spent far too many weekends at he lake and insisted that we put the beer in ice to make sure it’s cold enough for him.
December 27th, 2007 at 2:47 pmFunny, at my house Santa always got a nice dry martini and a Cuban cigar. The reindeer were on their own.
December 27th, 2007 at 7:15 pmSanta always enjoys his beer at our house too
December 27th, 2007 at 10:42 pmVegetables and beer … no wonder you got a Blackberry!
December 28th, 2007 at 12:15 amNice.
December 28th, 2007 at 4:22 amHEH this year was cookies and cocoa but last year - with two bicycles a scooter and a matchbox rumbling thunder race track to assemble Santa got pizza and beer.
