@Kiap On Christmas Day a three year old explained to me how they had left a glass of milk and a cookie out for Santa and in that was left in the morning was a few crumbs.
When I was a kid we left out 4 quart bottles of beer for Santa and all that was left in the morning was the empties.
I did ask one year how Santa managed to drink four beers at every house in the world without getting drunk. MY dad told me that most of the beer was drunk by the reindeers because they did all the hard work and that it didn't affect them the sameas humans. Except for Rudolph which is why he has a red nose!

@dogmeat we left "Santa's milk" which is baileys a mince pie and a carrot. When I was a kid Santa liked Brandy, guess his tastes change 😂
And not only do we leave a carrot, we have to sprinkle bloody "reindeer food" outside too which our local farm shop threw in for us, was just oats by the look of it.
Love all the fun of it though! -
@dogmeat, nice one!
This might be a test for those old enough to remember the 1980s ... it used to be a christmas thing (at least in Oz, I'm guessing maybe NZ also) to put out some booze to thank the garbos emptying the bins. Probably meant they had to do extra trips to collect especially if there were full beer cartons.
Obviously the days of physically lifting bins are no more - so it doesn't really work well now. But some still give it a go.

Been known to leave a 6 pack for garbos who work on Christmas Day.
Couldn't believe they didn't get the day off!
