Reindeer Food
Reindeer food is something I make to include with my Santa Letters to kids. It is oatmeal and colored sugar. The poem is ......Magical Reindeer Food   Sprinkle this on your lawn Christmas Eve. The smell of the oats and the glitter of the sugar will help guide Rudolph to your house. I use about 1 tsp of each so there is not a mess if it is spilled. after all it doesn't take much, it's Magical.
Reindeer Food Poem
The big day is coming,
Santa's on his way
His reindeer are busy pulling the sleigh
their going to be hungry,
so give them a treat,
sprinkle this reindeer food on the front lawn
for them to eat!

Thanks Carole!

Reindeer Faces
1 slice bread
peanut butter
4 mini pretzels
4 raisins
2 mini marshmallows, maraschino cherries or red-hot cinnamon candies
Cut bread in half from corner to corner, making two equal triangles.
Spread peanut butter over bread.
Decorate as follows:
Lay in front of you, point facing you and long side of triangle facing away from you.
Place one mini pretzel on each upper corner (the antlers); two raisins in the center of each slice (the eyes) and one mini marshmallow (or maraschino cherry or cinnamon candy if you are making Rudolphs) on the tip of each short point nearest you (the nose). Presto! Two reindeer faces looking back at you . . . simple enough for a preschooler to make, fast enough for a mom to make one each for a whole class, and nutritious enough to nourish even the most jaded kid on Christmas Day.
Thanks Shelle!

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of pig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Thanks Shelle!

Olive, the Other Reindeer

Randolf the Runny-Nosed Reindeer
Randolf the runny-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
had a very runny nose (like a water fall)
And if you ever saw it (saw it),
You would even say "Eeyuck!"

All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like faucet-nose)
They never let poor Randolf (Randolf)
Join in any reindeer games (like wrestling)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Randolf with your runny nose
Won't you use my handkerchief

Then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)
And they shouted out with glee (Wheee!)
Randolf the runny-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
Won't get any more on me!
Thanks Shelle!

Magic Reindeer Food
1/2 c. dry oatmeal 
1/3 c. sparkly glitter 
1 heartful of Christmas hope 
Mix ingredients together. On Christmas Eve sprinkle all over your lawn. The glitter will shine in the moonlight and lead Santa to your house before dawn.
The smell of the oats will guide the reindeer directly to your rooftop.
The Christmas hope in the magic reindeer food guarantees dear Santa will stop.   
Thanks Twila!
