I’m from the UK and my partner is from the States. Every year she has the kids leave milk and cookies out for Santa, which I find odd because we left out sherry and a mince pie in my house. At the same time, we live in Scandinavia and I’m sure the Christmas gnome (julenissen) is unhappy about the lack of porridge.
Also uk but it was baileys and a mince pie as neither of my parents liked sherry
But Baileys? Whiskey, rum, cognac, brandy, gin and tonic, anything but Baileys! The only use for Baileys is in novelty shots like a monkeys brain or cement mixer.
Nah, we love those creamy liqueurs. We were never a big alcohol household, i dont think i ever saw them drink anything neat.

This is pretty interesting I didn’t know milk and cookies was a strictly American tradition.
We used to sometimes leave out “reindeer food”, which I think was just trail mix, candies, and sometimes sprinkles. We never made it at home though, it was something that would get made or handed out to kids at Christmas parties.
Please don’t feed refined sugar to the reindeer it’s really bad for them.
Same for humans, especially kids.
I don’t normally complain about immigration, but at least my fellow countrymen have the decency to put out some julegrøt for nissen…
Jeg tror ikke det finnes så mange fjøsnisser på 5. etasje i boligblokk.
I blokk har man vanligvis nok nisser som naboer
Jo, men barna mi får vel nok grøt resten av året.
Slovakia: nothing.
When I was very young kid I have proposed to leave something for him but my family talked me out of it.
