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.

      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.

        You asked people what they do. Then you shit on their tradition when they tell you? Fuck off.

    Nothing in lithuania :3… or at least no one I know leaves stuff out for Santa

    Probably cause for christmas eve we have a tradition of leaving the 12 dishes we make out overnight for spirits. That whole thing kinda comes from our pagan traditions, which overall are quite prevalent in all our holidays
