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 until 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, while pregnant, would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet
suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Especially while pregnant. I know some women have problems with it, but I felt like superwoman. I
was clocking about 70 hours a week of work, some of it in 30 hour stretches with only cat naps. It
was "8 miles high", but it sure weren't "and lightly touch down". blacksalt whose hubby wished he
could have the experiance of bearing a child until he had the experiance of an infected vasectomy.
That changed his mind, yuck-yuck.

If Santa could find a way to make reindeer fly, his coming up with a way to ensure the bulls kept
their antlers until late December must have been a piece of cake.

He should not have jogged home after his vasectomy.
