REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME ;)
According to the Al aska 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 . :rolleyes:
A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Okay......so according to this, ALL of Santa's Reindeer are female because....
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
This may be true, but.....if you read between the lines, ALL these Female Reindeer only WORK 1 night a year.
Let me say that again......Only WORK 1 night a year.
Where are these Female Reindeer the other 363 days/nights of the year????
Hummmmmmmm......
They're in their designer stalls, being waited on and their EVERY need taken care of, 24/7 by a bunch of elves, who history has shown, is mostly Male in population.
Sure......these Female Reindeer may fly Santa around 1 night of the year, and not get lost.....but it's the MALE elves that make sure they're up to the task. :p

Great myth for the holiday season and a good chuckle - not really true, though.
Actually, though, both male and female reindeer grow antlers each year and the antlers are finished growing in August. The older bulls generally lose or “drop” their antlers first, usually late December or early January, with the remaining bulls following this process until as late as March. The females generally keep their antlers until calving time, 7 months from when they were bred. Then the antler growing process is repeated all over again.
And now you know the rest of the story...so on with the "Ho...Ho...Hoing..." ;)

I always had suspicions about Clement C Moore was a manly sort of man.
"Away to the window I flew with my flash,
Tore open the shutters
and threw up the mash . . . "
That list of reindeer always sounded like the venue at the Aztec Club.
Dasher, Lap-Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Come 'mon, and Cupid, Donna, and Blitzed.
Maybe that isn't Rudolph's nose at all.
