Santa doesnt come here but I do remember one year my sister in law left along with the milk and carrot her little boys dummies for Santa to take away and leave a special big boy gift .
A carrot for Rudolph.
For Santa it'll be a nice big Moscow Mule; we found that he preferred them which is rather handy 'cos I'm partial them too

What a coincedence!
OMG erinp my biggest life trauma as a child was when my twin sis and I were convinced to let the fishes have our dinkies. I can still hear us in the caravan that night crying "juice mummy, please mummy, juice, juice, juice" and to this bloody day, every time I walk by that river I think about my dinky!
(For younger readers, a dinky was a 'dinky' (small) bottle)
Oh, and by the way.....I'm leaving nowt! Cos I'm like that

Knowing that story someone in your family should buy you and your twin a dinky for Christmas

I'm leaving a glass of semi skimmed, just in case he lays into my wine stash 
No babies in the family at the moment, (the young uns really need to get a move on!) however, in times past: sherry and mince pie for Santa, carrots for Rudolph and his pals, sprinkled santa dust so he could find his way, (oats and glitter,)...and afterwards flour on the floor with big footprints to show he'd been, oh and a few tinklings of bells on the landing when they were at an age when they wee beginning to doubt!

I'd be delighted, although maybe slosh something a bit stronger in these days! You've given me an idea, might get my sis' one next year, don't know if you can buy them now? Or rosehip syrup for that matter?...Goes to google

Yup, diluted in a little 'dinky' bottle

He's getting NOTHING! Nothing at all until he reads my list and I find this in my stockings
Then I'll give him something.
Santa can have a biscuit though.
I'll get back to you on the Delrosa issue. Quite frankly this year hasn't been a successful hedge based confiture event. We're hoping for a better autumn next time round.

Leather gloves & a balaclava, with precise instructions on how I want him to use them 
Cookies! I'll bake them myself. A glass of brandy too, Santa will need to keep warm 
Used to be whiskey, mince pie and a carrot.
nowadays the little people get home after we've gone to bed on Christmas Eve ... so he's getting nothing
