Subject: Santa's Reindeer-FACTS
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.
