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.

    Nothing.

    He’s at work after all and we take work very serious. Dienst ist Dienst und Schnaps ist Schnaps basically means work first, fun later on your own time. Ordnung muss sein.

    Also, we don’t expect him to work overnight but usually to be finished by 8 or 9 in the evening of the 24th. Making him work at night sounds like a labour laws issue that would at least necessitate additional monetary nighttime compensation.
