REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME


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 man in a red 
velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.
