0 0

Hey there, young friends! Have you ever wondered why we leave out some delicious cookies and a glass of milk for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve? Well, grab your favourite cookie, snuggle up, and let me tell you this fun and tasty tradition’s story.

A long, long time ago, before even your grandparents were little kids, children started leaving snacks for a special visitor on Christmas Eve. This wasn’t just any visitor, but Santa Claus himself! You know, the jolly man in the big red suit who rides a sleigh pulled by reindeer and brings presents to all the good boys and girls around the world.

Now, Santa has a very important job on Christmas Eve. He travels all over the globe in just one night. Can you imagine how busy and hungry he gets? That’s where the cookies and milk come in! When children leave out these treats, they’re giving Santa a yummy snack to help keep his energy up for his long journey.

But wait, there’s more to this story. Leaving out cookies and milk isn’t just about feeding Santa; it’s also about showing kindness and gratitude. When we leave a snack for Santa, we’re saying ‘thank you’ for all the hard work he does. It’s like when you help mom or dad set the table or share your toys with your friends. It’s about being kind and thoughtful, and that’s a big part of what Christmas is all about!

Also, this tradition is super fun, isn’t it? You get to bake the cookies with your family, maybe decorate them with icing and sprinkles, and then choose the best ones for Santa. And let’s not forget about choosing the perfect spot to leave them so Santa won’t miss them. Some kids even write a little note to go with the cookies. How cool is that?

But that’s not all. Leaving cookies and milk for Santa also sparks your imagination. On Christmas morning, when you see the empty plate and the glass with just a little milk left, you’ll wonder, “Did Santa really come? How did he like my cookies?” These moments create magical memories that you’ll remember even when you grow up.

So, this Christmas Eve, when you’re getting ready for bed, don’t forget to leave some cookies and a glass of milk for Santa. It’s a small act that brings a lot of joy – to you, your family, and of course, to Santa!

And who knows, maybe Santa will leave a thank you note for you! Now, isn’t that a magical Christmas surprise to look forward to? Merry Christmas, everyone! Don’t forget to listen for the sleigh bells and keep believing in the magic of Christmas!
