On Christmas eve my family has a tradition of preparing (rushing) for Santa Claus to find his way to our house. We make Christmas cookies and decorate them with more sprinkles than a cookie can hold. So much that it ends up on the bottoms of my shoes and on their white socks. Oh well...Santa has gotta eat something. I think I will ask Santa for new socks...hmm. By the way, I made fancy hazelnut-chocolate dipped cookies too but, there is not really enough left over to take a decent photo.
Here are some smiles from my kidlets while making Christmas cookies. The smiles caught me by surprise and I didn't have my camera ready--so snap shots are gonna have to do this time. :o)
We also prepare our reindeer food to sprinkle in the grass to make sure the reindeer can find their way in the dark night. No shots of this. My kids were done crafting pretty soon when I told them we would have to clean it all up!
Reindeer Food Recipe and Poem
Sprinkle this reindeer food outside tonight.
The moonlight will make it sparkle bright.
As the reindeer fly and roam.
This will guide them to your home.
Recipe:
Old Fashioned Oats
Red Sugar
Green Sugar
(or glitters if you wish)
mix all together and save in a ziploc bag.
Merry Christmas All!
