A parking space in your driveway might suffice, but there's nothing like an official hitching post to make travelers from the North Pole feel right at home.
Materials
- Thin wooden board
- Acrylic paint
- Duct tape
- Snow shovel
- Big red bow
- Jingle bells (optional)
- Rope
- Bucket
- Carrots and/or apples
Instructions
To assemble one, use acrylic paint to print the words "Reindeer Hitching Post" on a thin wooden board. Once the paint is thoroughly dry, securely duct-tape the sign to the handle of a snow shovel. Then tie a big red bow to the handle just below the sign. You can wire on jingle bells too for an extra-festive touch.
Anchor the shovel firmly in a deep mound of snow. Finally, attach a length of rope (Santa will need this to tie his hooved helpers) and place a feed bucket filled with a few carrots or apples nearby.
