YEs, we bake fresh peacan and chocolate cookies for Santa... We also put out reindeer food (oatmeal with sparkles in it) for the reindeer.

On Easter the Easter bunny leaves tracks al over the house... They smell like baby powder...

My kids are 12 and 15 and know truth . But being a kids only last so long... We enjoy the ride.

We leave Beer and Pretzels.

Then he would be seeing double and crash his sleigh. LOL

By the time he reaches California, he is all cookied out.  A pot of coffee mysteriously disappears sometime between midnight and 9 AM Christmas Day.

mince pies for santa and brandy and carrots for the reindeers

I leave Tums’s and I always do really well on Christmas morning.

I did when my children still believed. It's all part of the magic of childhood!

YES and corn for his reindeer.

By the time he gets here, he's pulling the sled and the reindeer are chillin in the sled. I give him a back rub and a little "Crank" and he's off and running.

I never did this, not even when I still believed but my brother was diabetic, we didn't have many cookies in the house.....

We used to leave milk & fruit cake until Santa became lactose intollerant.Nowadays its just fruitcake. I usually dress up as Santa on Christmas morning.I think the oldest grand-daughter (8 year old) is on to me now tho.I don't reckon I'll get away with it this year.LOL

When my husb was alive and well, I put out some of his sister's homemade biscottis and milk. And b/c I went to bed a little later than him, I ate the cookies and milk . Next morning, I said.  "Hey ! This proves there really is a Santa Claus ! ''   He seemed tickled about that. It was all a game.
