What To Leave Out For Father Christmas

Christmas Eve has got to be the most magical night of the year...children around the world desperate for the first time to be tucked up in bed, hanging up stockings for Santa to (hopefully!) bring some pressies, watching a cheesy christmas movie before bed... The tradition in our family is to leave out a nice treat for Santa and rudolph- a carrot, glass of milk, and whatever sweet treat for Santa is open in the cupboard!- followed by a lovely hot bath.

Still, every year my Mum tells me a story of when she 'seen santa fly past the moon in his sleigh' and she once 'heard santa's sleigh bells and reindeer footsteps on the roof' etc etc. Well when I was younger we left out quite alot for santa claus, knowing he wa quite fat and had alot of reindeers, I liked to know I was being generous enough.
