Cookies for Santa

[LaKecias]

Who still put cookies out for Santa, even if your child doesn't believe or is grown and out of the house?

I used to do this every year when my kids were little, along with a note to Santa from the kids about what they wanted for Christmas.  Now that my kids are grown, I don't do this anymore but I've still got the notes they left for Santa!

Over the years, I've made a collection of things that my children have written to Santa or made in school, or some of the crazier things they did (like when my son locked me out of the house when I was still in my nightgown and I had to call a Locksmith to get me back in, LOL!)!  I'm saving all of these things and when my kids have their first child, I'll be gifting these things to them, along with photos, baby clothes that I saved (like when I first brought them home from the hospital), their first pair of shoes, their hospital bracelets, some of their first toys, etc. so that they can see what "Tiny Terrors" they were and what they have to look forward to with their own child, hahahaha!!!  This stuff will surely put a smile on their faces, and maybe a little terror in their hearts, LOL!!!

That sounds like a great idea. It would be really nice to pull out the items when their child did a similar thing they did as a child

May do this just so I can have cookies when they go to bed lol

[Lindaroof]

Not much point in doing it anymore since no children are at home anymore. But I sure do miss those days. Good times!

that is too cool, sounds to me like your kids had the best parents ever....

That would be cool to indicate that Santa Claus has arrivied.

I don't have kids but my parents did it every year when I was growing up so I do it in memory of them

[mmansonfiend]

is a great tradition. it gets the kids involved and gets them excited. i always do it with them.

[catchow]

no kids, so no cookies for Santa, sorry big guy I ate them myself

[sdenimandlace1]

NO cookies out at my house either. my kids are gone.

[sherryfan]

I put out for the cookies and my husband ate it all 

[mjdoug03]

I did this when I was little but I can't have children so it ends with me.

[lbeery]

I used to do this every year but for some reason, I forgot.  They were however, just on the kitchen counter so maybe he snuck a few any way.  Hope you all had a terrific Christmas.
