DO REINDEER REALLY KNOW HOW TO FLY? |
Well, if they do, it's not among the "11 surprising facts about reindeer" listed below. Then again, we have it upon highest authority, aka Santa Claus, that indeed they do!
However, #9 on the list proves that the Beach Boys had it right 50 years ago when they released their Christmas song Little Saint Nick with the refrain "Run Run Reindeer". In 90 minutes, they're ready to go!
(And, with a wink and a nod about the true secret of Christmas...
...that the original Santa Claus was "a real famous cat all dressed up in red".
Still skeptical? Santa "Claus"...freely interpreted from the original "Santa Claws".
Scoff if you must, but as for me and grandpa, we believe!)
Anyway, back to whether reindeer can really fly...
If in 90 minutes reindeer are up and running, can flying really be far behind?
