Milk and Cookies?

[ShineyAddiction]

Is this only an American traditon for Santa or is it global?
Happy Holidays everyone!

I haven't a clue. We never left out food in our house, though, and I live in America. I knew of the tradition, but just never followed it, that I can remember.

In Mexico, the tradition is that Santa doesnt have reindeer, in stead, he has flying magical donkies.

I live in England and when I was young we used to leave a glass of sherry and mince pies for Santa, and a carrot for his reindeer. In the early hours of the morning, about the only time I ever got up early... there would be an empty glass and plate surprised

Well I don't remember leaving any food for Santa, but we always left grass for the three wise men's camels. domokun

Of course it's not just American.. Jeeze.. Here in Australia we leave a meat pie and a can of beer. xD  

[Artanus]

We only left food out when I was little. The cat's broke the plate once. I think that was the last year we did it. We left Milk and Cookies and carrots for the reindeer.

santa with the red suit, big jelly belly and sack o' toys is an original american tradition, as is the leaving of the cookies.

its spread worldwide, though...but still...

ITS AMERICAN!!!

we always did milk and cookies @ mi casa when i was little...chocolate chip with frosting because THOSE are santa's favorite!

when we have little ones ourselves, we'll put out peanut butter cookies because then THOSE will be santa's ((angel's)) favorite. 3nodding
