| The spreading begins - too fast to catch without a blur |

| Alexander moves at lightning speed, spreading reindeer dust |
May you, dear reader, find that same sort of peace and love and warmth -- if not on Christmas Day, then in the New Year which is almost upon us. This is my simple wish.
May Peace and Love be with you.
Merry Christmas.
And, God bless us, everyone!

Two questions:
1) what in blazes is "magic reindeer dust"?
2) why is Santa left a glass of milk and cookies, not a glass of Steam Works and some nachos?
Thank you.
Excellent questions, Ian.
Magic reindeer dust is a mix of oats and sprinkles. We spread them on the front lawn to ensure Santa's reindeer find the house (maybe it's like an insurance policy for kids whose behaviour is more grey than "good or bad")
I suppose we might call it reindeer food, but the sprinkles add an element of "magic" which is just part of the fun.
And why indeed on the beverage. I suppose Santa might also enjoy a Guinness. But drinking at work is frowned upon (imagine how blasted he'd be drinking a beer at each house?) And drinking and sleigh-driving is something the jolly old elf prefers to avoid.
