A little off-topic perhaps, but surely not off-season.

Enjoy.

NOW WE KNOW THE TRUTH


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.
