ReplyDeleteMy sister and I got boxes of chocolates on Christmas Eve from a dear family friend, and we'd leave Santa the noughat ones we didn't like! My mom was always saying, Santa likes caramel, but we'd counter her and leave Santa the noughat, which wasn't Mom's favorite either!

ReplyDeleteUsually it's just cookies and milk in our household. Today, however, I was watching my nephew, and he said, "Auntie, do you have the recipe for Kraft macaroni and cheese?" When I answered yes (a box in my pantry!), he continued, "Can we leave that for Santa this year?"
ReplyDeleteIf his parents won't do it, I certainly will!
Just discovered your blog, and I love it!
Santa Loves Cookies and Milk! Pretty plate!
ReplyDeleteWhen Santa enters my warm house he will smell the scent of evergreen candles with Christmas music playing in the background. There will be warm, homemade, frosted cinnamon rolls & cold milk waiting for him. And of course for the reindeer instead of boring carrots I'll give them some flavorful cereal.
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! We leave the standard, milk and cookies. Need something to wash it down with. Don't forget the reindeer....always sprinkle reindeer food on the front lawn.....
