Reindeer FAQ What Are The Names of The Reindeer That Pull Santa's Sleigh? Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donder, Blitzen, Cupid and Comet. Are Santa's Reindeer Male or Female? Male reindeer generally shed their antlers long before December 25, whereas the females retain theirs until at least January. The reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are always show as having antlers, so Santa's reindeer must all be females. A hard look at the evidence suggests that at least some of Santa's reindeer were females (the ones giving the directions, no doubt), some may have been young bulls, and some may have been neutered males. Santa also has special bulls (males) which are used for breeding purposes. These reindeer are not used for flying the sleigh, only for breeding. Do Santa's Reindeer Live At The North Pole? Only part of the year does Santa Claus live at the North Pole. In 1925 it was discovered that there are no reindeer in the North Pole. But there are lots in Lapland, Finland. So today we know that the reindeer live around the secret village of Santa Claus and the elves (their summer home) somewhere on the Korvatunturi mountain in the Savukoski county of Lapland, Finland, which is on the Finnish-Russian border. What Makes Santa's Reindeer Fly? Long ago, Santa Claus and the elves discovered the special formula of Magical Reindeer Dust which make them fly. This dust is sprinkled on each of the reindeer shortly before they leave on Christmas eve. It gives them enough magic to fly right around the world. They can fly very fast: at about the speed of a Christmas light. The Reindeer driven by Santa Claus are the only known flying Reindeer in existence. Besides the Magic Dust, Santa's reindeer are fed a "special" diet throughout the year which helps give them the power of flight. This magic corn is given to Santa Claus by a great and wonderful unknown wizard. Through this magic corn, the strength of the Reindeer is increased threefold, their stamina increased to infinity and their hooves can manipulate the air as though it were solid ground. What Can I Put Out For Santa's Reindeer To Eat? Magic Reindeer Food 1/2 c. dry oatmeal 1/3 c. sparkly, colored sugar 1 heartful of Christmas hope Mix ingredients together. On Christmas Eve sprinkle all over your lawn. The colored sugar will shine in the moonlight and lead Santa to your house before dawn. The smell of the oats will guide the reindeer directly to your rooftop. The Christmas hope in the magic reindeer food guarantees dear Santa will stop. What Are The Words To "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"? "You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You could even say it glows. All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in history. " Are Reindeer Really Deer? Yes they are. Reindeer are a species of deer located in the Arctic regions of the world. The largest Reindeer can reach up to four feet high at the shoulder and weigh as much as 250 pounds. It is believed that there are no longer any wild Reindeer, the entire species seeming to have been domesticated. Each Reindeer can pull up to twice its own weight, making it an ideal animal for pulling a sleigh loaded down with any amount of cargo. Thus, nine Reindeer would be able to pull a sleigh with 13,500 pounds of toys for an unlimited amount of time. How Can Santa Deliver Presents to Everybody In One Night With the reindeer traveling at the speed of Christmas Light, Santa can come and go in the "twinkling of an eye." He doesn't need to fill his sleigh with toys for every single boy and girl in the world all at once, it's really easy for him to make several trips back to his Toyshop to pick up as many loads as necessary. The Elves have his toy sacks sorted and ready to pack onto the sleigh when it arrives back, so the exchange happens within seconds to get Santa back on his way. New information recently revealed, leads us to believe that Santa has "secret" hiding places located at strategic places around the world, so he can instantly pick up a new load of toys easily and quickly. Perhaps one of those "secret" hiding places is located very close to your house? |

Magic Reindeer Dust must work on commuter planes as well. I have been on several that I was quite sure could not be flying without some sort of magic. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

:lol: No, i'm just sick of Christmas. I've had it all around me since October and now i just want it to hurry up and finish. Thankfully, in the past couples of hours i've had half a bottle of champagne so i don't feel as pissed off anymore. ![]() And I had to work today and i was in NO mood for it. Plus, i got told off from my manager for wearing 'revealing clothing' after she caught a guy staring down my top at my tits when i was bending over. <_< It was only a bloody v-neck. :rolleyes: Honestly, the words 'frigid old dog' spring to mind. God, i'm b*tchy, aren't I! ![]() x |

It wasn't even that nice. It was some cheap rubbish that has been in our fridge for ages but i was just desperate for something cold and bubbly so i drabk it. I'll probably suffer with a hurrendous headache in the morning. This fat frump would probably find a burkaa too 'suggestive' as well. >It's Christmas, Caroline. Shut the f*ck up and be nice.< x |
