Magic Reindeer Food

Many families leave cookies and milk for Santa, but what about his reindeer?  Magic Reindeer Food lays a glittering path to guide the reindeer !

[Note:  while many Internet recipes for Magic Reindeer Food call for craft glitter, this ingredient can harm birds or wildlife if eaten.  Substitute colored sugar crystals and be kind to animals!]

In a small zipper food storage bag or empty shaker container, mix:

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup red or green sugar crystals (for cake decorating)

You can also bottle this and give it as gifts with the following poem attached:

Be sure to take this magic food and sprinkle on the lawn.

Santa's reindeer travel miles before the dawn.

The smell of oats and glitter path will guide them on their way

And you'll wake up to Santa's gifts the very next day !
