The True Story of Santa's Reindeer

I received this vital information today....

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year,male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Sounds about right. Give them one night a year to take a break from cooking and cleaning.

Makes sense to me. Sounds like St. Louis was a blast! Nice to have fun and create such memories. Lou

Oh, and there are no reindeer in North America. Alaska has caribou.
