Yorkshire Pudding Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 We've done this too, it was lovely and a good way to get the lads to bed - "Hurry up, he's nearly here and you have to be asleep before he arrives!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The site says: "Santa maintains a long list of children who have been good throughout the year. His list gets bigger each year by virtue of the world's increasing population. As a result, Santa has had to deliver more toys in the same amount of time. If one were to assume he works in the realm of standard time, he would have to limit his stay to about two to three ten-thousandths of a second per home! The fact that Santa Claus is more than 16 centuries old, yet does not appear to age, is our biggest clue that he does not work within time as we know it. His Christmas Eve trip may seem to take around 24 hours, but to Santa it may last days, weeks or even months in standard time. Santa would not want to rush the important job of distributing presents to children and spreading Christmas happiness everyone, so the only logical conclusion is that Santa functions within a different time-space continuum than the rest of us do." Wow. I always thought Santa was magic, but it turns out he's possibly not magic and instead may be very good at quantum physics. Go Santa! Santa is a geek! This makes me very happy! Anna x ps: Santa is currently in Thailand. I wonder if he gets hot in all his fur and beard in those sorts of hot countries? Do you think they leave out milk or whisky, or maybe a nice cool, ice cubed cocktail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Just a matter of hours before Santa gets to the UK, so remember "he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when your awake.........." What will you be leaving as a snack for the big guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 A digestive biscuit (sort of a bland cookie, not an American biscuit) and a tot of whisky, plus a glass of milk and carrot for the reindeer has always been the norm in my house.

BeckyBoo Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Mine have left out two chocolate chip cookies a glass of milk and three carrots for the reindeer, OH tried to persuade them that FC would prefer a tot of rum, but Mummy had the last say! Still got presents to wrap, but only two of the children are asleep, one is "TOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!"" Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 A carrot for Rudolph and a glass of sherry and a mincepie for santa (or whatever Mum feels like on the night ) And I think both of mine are asleep! (might be harder getting rid of the 17 year old ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 We leave a glass of milk, 2 mince pies and carrots for the reindeer. Santa certainly enjoys them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Santa had two stollen slices and a bottle of organic beer plus a carrot left for the reindeer. Funny how Santa has the same taste in beer as the OH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
