Santa's Reindeer-FACTS

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game, while both male and 
female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year (the only members of
the 
deer family, Cervidae,to have females do so), 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
fatman in a red velvet suit all around the 
world in one night, and not get lost.
