 Anyway,
Santa got wise once Blane came along and
now all the reindeer are specially trained
after Blane hand-picks us from the reindeer
pre-school gym club. There are always a
few back-up teams in case something should
go wrong with the main team and all new
male reindeer are called after us. So there’s
Rudolf generation 1 down to the current
Rudy who has just been picked and he’s
generation X.
Of course all
of us original guys have a special kind
of magic so that we will never die but we
do get a bit sick now and again which is
when another generation deer takes over.
It is possible for us to break bones and
Donna had a really bad accident a few years
back, she ended up having to lie flat on
her back for a whole year! Poor girl. She
was okay though, as she loves to eat chocolates
and watch daytime TV. She quite enjoyed
the rest and came back re-energised and
ready for action.
Naughty tricks
on Santa.
Although our job is
very important we still have fun. Every
year we like to play tricks on Santa.

One year we hid his
sack full of toys, another year we put the
sleigh on backwards - what a hoot! We've
even unteathered our leads to the sleigh
and taken off without him. Blitzen put a
hedgehog on his seat on Christmas Eve 1924,
it was hilarious! My favourite was the year
we tied huskies to his sleigh instead and
hid in the snow waiting to see his reaction
- there were many Ho Ho Ho's that Christmas
Eve!
 Santa
plays a good few jokes on us himself! Last
year as well as loading on to the sleigh
all the presents he put a sack full of weights
as well! We were trying for a good 10 minutes
just to take off!
Anyway, it's nearing
Christmas now and we're all in preparation
- there's lots to be done! No doubt we'll
be passing over your place very very soon.
Hope all you little boys and girls have
been nice this year!
Next time you
leave out a plate of cookies for Santa remember
all the deer that are working so hard to
bring your pressies too and leave out a
bit more for us than a mouldy old carrot
would you?!
Happy Christmas!
