Have You Been Naughty Or Nice?!

santa

F/8.0, 1/250, ISO 110.

 

Santa keeps his reindeers resting all year long, so they have enough energy for that one special night of the year. But in the meantime, he checks up on everyone while riding his special stallion. Be aware-SANTA IS WATCHING YOU!!!

Interesting Fact: He doesn’t just like milk and cookies.

Things other countries leave out for Santa (or his non-union equivalent), according to Wikipedia:

in Britain and Australia, he is sometimes given sherry or beer, and mince pies instead. In Sweden and Norway, children leave rice porridge. In Ireland it is popular to give him Guinness or milk, along with Christmas pudding or mince pies.

If I were Santa, the United Kingdom and Australia would get all the presents.  ( http://io9.com/11-insane-things-you-didnt-know-about-santa-claus-1485017907 )
