Magic Reindeer Food


Magic Reindeer Food lays a glittering path to guide the reindeer 
on Christmas Eve. 


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)

Be sure to take this magic food and sprinkle on the lawn,
On Christmas, 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 next morn on Christmas Day!
