Wishing you a very happy
magical day!!
Today, I thought I would blog
about some Christmas stuff. Joey wants to tell you about Reindeer also
known as Caribou. The Caribou are wild and native to Northern North America the
Reindeer are domesticated and native to Northern Europe and Asia. Reindeer are a
species of the deer family. Magical Reindeer pull Santa’s sleigh through the
night sky on Christmas Eve! Santa and his Reindeer go to each house so he can
leave gifts for the children. Only Santa’s Reindeer are able to fly because
they are magical. Did you know that all Santa’s Reindeer are female? Scientist
say that Santa’s Reindeer are all female. Male Reindeer lose their antlers in
the winter and females don’t lose theirs until the spring time. So, Santa's reindeer have to be female reindeer because they still have their antlers while flying Santa's sleigh.
What do you put out for Santa and his Reindeer to eat on
Christmas Eve?
Here is a list of Santa’s Reindeer in Alphabetical order:
Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donner, Prancer, Rudolph,
and Vixen.
Here is a list of Santa's Rainbow Reindeer in alphabetical order:
