Throwing Reindeer food so Santa can find our house

The glitter glistens so Santa can see our house and the reindeer eat the oatmeal!

December was filled with so many fun activities! We started off making decorations and buying a $20 fake tree from the base thrift store. It was actually really nice. I wanted to do the real meaning of Christmas, so we made ornaments having to do with that. Stars, gifts, candy canes, wreaths, bows, and angels. We talked about the real meaning of each and sang songs while we decorated the tree. The rest of the month was filled with so many fun activities!
