Why does Santa traditionally have sherry and a mince pie in England and milk and cookies in America?

Well, he can't have cookies and milk everywhere!Don't you get sick of the same food, over and over? Because different cultures have different traditions. In this particular case, I suspect it has something to do with a distaste, in America, for depicting a child's character like Santa Claus drinking alcohol. We tend to be a lot more Puritanical about that sort of thing, whereas in England it's no big deal. As for mince pie ... well, I'd prefer a cookie to a mince pie any day!
