I admit it, I’m totally geographically challenged so it’s just as well I wasn’t born a reindeer.

Here’s the contents of an e-mail I just received. I’ve no idea where it originated, but it’s supposed to be taken in good humour so please don’t take offence all you males out there.

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 l

ate 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.

Take care.
