Remember the Little Golden Book Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Perhaps you have read the book to your own children or had it read to you as a child and watched the TV special. The TV version of Rudolph was first broadcast in 1964 and has been on every December since. It has the distinction of being the longest running Christmas special ever.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is an enduring Christmas classic. It began as an advertising gimmick, but soon took on a life of its own with a holiday song and later a Christmas special. Rudolph teaches an important lesson about acceptance and loving yourself for who you are.

Rudolph was originally created as an advertising campaign for Montgomery Wards Department store. Robert Mays was an advertising copy writer and created the story as a free pamphlet in 1939. It was given away at stores during the holiday season. Mays drew upon his own childhood experiences and the classic children's story "Ugly Duckling."
After 10 years as a freebie May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks decided to turn the story into a holiday song. And today it is played over and over and over during the holiday season.

All this brings me to Magic Reindeer Mix. Rudolph is sure to stop Santa'a sleigh at your house to snack on this magical mix.
Magic Reindeer Mix
Cook's notes:
Cut a piece 10 x 7 of Christmas scrapbooking paper or cardstock. Fold in half. Fill a sandwich size plastic bag with equal parts of dry oatmeal and glitter. Staple sandwich bag to inside of the the paper near the fold. Type the following directions below and glue onto the front of the paper. Staple both sheets together with plastic bag in the inside and directions on the outside. 


On Christmas Eve sprinkle this
magic reindeer mix on your lawn to guide
Santa's reindeer to your rooftop. 

While Santa makes his delivery inside, Rudolph
and his friends can have a snack.

  1. I haven't thought about that Little Golden Book in years. My brother had a copy and the pages were well-worn.

    I heard on GMA last week that all the reindeer in this story were actually female as males shed their antlers. Interesting...
