If every kid in America leaves Santa 2 cookies this year , the number of cookies that Santa will get to enjoy is 146 million cookies
Some people also think that the American holiday custom of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa Claus started during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Parents made an effort to instill in their kids a spirit of giving and thankfulness for the Christmas gifts they received during that period of economic adversity.
Another legend claims that youngsters left food out for Sleipner during the Yule season in the hopes that Odin would pass by while on the road and deliver gifts in return. Many European nations still practice this custom today, and children there still think that horses, not reindeer, pull Santa's sleigh. They provide hay and carrots for these animals on Christmas Eve.
The number of children in the United States is 73 million so if each child left Santa two cookies, the number of cookies Santa would get is :
= 73 million x 2
= 146 million cookies
