The boys and I will be making peanut butter birdseed pine cones for the birds and critters on Dec 24th (the longest day of the year). This annual event usually draws bored and antsy kids from all over the neighborhood. It gives us all something to do while we impatiently wait for Santa. It's messy and sticky to be sure but a good way to while away an hour and get some fresh air. Afterwards it's hot chocolate and marshmallows. Caring for God's creatures on Christmas eve just feels right. And of course the reindeer will be wanting their carrot and celery sticks as well.
Blessings!
This is so, so cool! I think I may start this tradition with my nephew next year.
