This is really great! I just love these packets because I believe that they're "magic"! One year, when our kids were little, my sister had just separated from her husband and stayed with my family for Christmas. My mom also stayed with us because it was the first Christmas after my dad had passed away. I had bought two of these at a craft fair and the kids sprinkled them just outside our family room window before they went to bed. The next morning,they checked before even looking at their gifts and there were deer prints all over the snow and the oats were gone! We do get deer in our neighborhood, but never so close to the house! My kids and my nephews were so excited and it made Christmas SO SPECIAL!!! It's really one of my fondest memories! Sorry for such a long post, but seeing this stirred up so many great feelings and I thought that I'd share!!!
