Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 6

We are making Reindeer Dust!

This is a fun tradition that we started in Oregon.

We use:

1 cup oatmeal

red glitter

gold glitter

Mix it in any container that you are going to store your dust in.

Then on Christmas Eve our crew sprinkles this in our yard so that the reindeer will be guided to our home.

This can be adjusted to whatever you have on hand.

~ Oatmeal is bird friendly ~

There have been a couple years where our really wee ones have basically dumped the whole baggy in one pile at the edge of our lawn.

Lance just went out later that evening and spread it around so that when the crew looked outside in the morning it looked like the reindeer enjoyed their sparkly treat.

Merry Christmas Y'all...
