What should we leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve?

On our way home from work and daycare, Toddy was talking about Christmas and Santa Clause. Everytime we drive by a house decorated with Christmas lights, he says "Look mamma, Christmas!"

I asked him what happens at Christmas and he told me that Santa comes. Keeping the conversation going, I asked him if Santa was going to visit him for Christmas, he replied "Yes, I good boy, mamma." I smiled because he always tells me that he has been a good boy.

I asked Toddy if we should leave something for Santa when he comes to the house. He thought about it for a few moments and said "Yes, cookies". I inquired to what type of cookies would like to have and the response was "Two Blue Cookies". I thought that was an unusual color choice because we as adults always think of red and green for Christmas.

I asked, "Would like something to drink with his cookies?" He didn't respond. I asked again if we should leave something, like milk, for Santa to drink with his cookies. He replied, "Yes a beer." At first I wasn't sure if I heard his response correctly and I asked him to repeat what we should leave Santa on Christmas eve and his response was....

"Two blue cookies and a beer, mamma."
