Does anyone still put out milk and cookies for Santa?

Aw, so cute Mike! I remember when my kid sister was little & still believed in Father Christmas, we'd put out milk & cookies for him!

Oh, I bet Santa sure likes coming to your house! What a fun photo -- and I really like the green background. I hope that Christmas brings much joy to you and your family.

Got to! Santa likes incentives just like everybody else!

we used to do that as kids...we never picked that up for our kids.....not sure why......my son would have gotten up and eaten them.....I believe one year we actually did put some out and had put the kids to bed and I dutifully ate and drank and then my son came out to tell us that he had to go to the bathroom.......yea right...and he looked at the plate and I told him that santa had come and gone and the presents weren't even staged yet.....he might have even seen a milk mustache on me......probably was the end of the cookie event

I agree, Mike. Santa deserves a couple of perks.

Too Funny, Patrick. I got busted biting into one of the cookies when my son was about 5,(he just turned 30) This was the same mug and plate from when he was little.

Oh yes. Taj just visited Santa. He's age four. He had a very long talk with the big guy about how he was NOT going to be in Santa Barbara but rather was going to be in Tucson. He's very worried Santa's GPS system won't be able to find him. Cookies and milk will hopefully reassure him! Nice photo, Mike!
