when we were little my mum used to put food out for Santa then eat most of it but stick cotton wool around the glass & only eat part of the mince pies even leaving just a bit of the reindeer's carrot it all made Christmas for us more magical! Now I just love to see children's faces at Christmas it remind's me of Christmas's past.
