At our home during the holidays, we have always had a special tradition that we began when our children were very young.

Each year on Christmas Eve,  our children mix up a batch of special food, just for Santa's reindeer, and sprinkle it around on the lawn before they go to bed.

This is the key element in letting Santa know that you are anxiously awaiting his arrival and have plenty of goodies to take care of both him and his reindeer.

Santa always seems to leave great presents when you do this!

Here's our secret recipe and directions listed below.
