A Quick Fun Christmas Fact: The Reindeer Edition

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, the males 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 traditional depiction of Santa's reindeer, every one of them - from Rudolph to Blitzen - is female!

I like my reindeer cooked on the barbie after it's soaked in a mixture of white vinegar and co-cola.
