    Magic Reindeer Food

    Don't stop at cookies for Santa! Make up a batch of reindeer food. On Christmas Eve before heading to bed, sprinkle the magic mixture on the front lawn.

This makes a great gift to hand out to the kids on Christmas Eve or to school friends before everyone heads out for Christmas break.
