We Should Have Known.....

This Sweet little tidbit was just sent to me by a good friend and I had to share it...
REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
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-ass man
in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Lets be brutal, if all Santa reindeer were male, they would never have got off the ground as we would all have been wanting to start up front.

Oh for sure!!! HAHAHA

So what take the antlers off so it will be more realistic. Ha, ha ha, Oh ho ho. Merry Christmas!


Please, female reindeer couldn't even get him off the ground. Much less find their way around without Rudolph's shiny red nose.

LOL I had read this somewhere before a year or so ago.

And, well, Rudolph would actually be.. Rudolphina! Shiny nose as a reason for not getting lost or no... still a female! Not too mention, most species on this planet, the females are the larger of the sexes. Which would mean they would be more than capable of getting santa and that sleigh off the ground! Shot that theory full of holes!

Hey ! I thought Santa's reindeer were magical and if so then maybe their antlers are part of that magic too!

What if they were raised in a special dome which is out of sync with the climate, so they have antlers until christmas? Or the elves stick fake antler on, or glue the old ones onto the reindeer.

No, they use satnav, with cute female reindeer voices!



Oh dear, more lies about it, first we're told he doesn't exist, and now even if he did, the reindeer are sexually ambiguous. Then again I never remember seeing Rudolph depicted with er, you know what, anyway.

Not to mention that they won't be afraid to ask for directions...

If you want fresh deer meat..check the I-90.We counted 25 on the way to NY...

Yep. All those hunters sittin' out there in the woods like all freezin' and stuff waitin' for a deer to come walkin' around. I just sit on my roof sippin' on hot chocolate and stuff. And like when those reindeer come landin' on my roof, I jump out from behind the chimney, and BANG. Got me my Christmas meal! And if that fat baaastad gives me any lip..........
It's a perfect plan!

Canadian Hunter....Eh..

It's so obvious I can't believe no one picked up on it.

Of course, Santa's reindeer are male. But they're all cross dressers.

You know the difference between Beer Nuts and deer nuts? I didn't think so.

Beer Nuts are about $6.oo a pound. Deer nuts are under a buck.

Falalalala lala la laaaaaa.
