"A Little Christmas Cheer"
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 have known. Only women would be able
to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the
world in one night and not get lost.

"Christmas Dinner Prayer"
Little Johnny and his family were having
Christmas dinner at his Uncle Mickey's
house. Everyone was seated around the
table as the food was being served. When
Little Johnny received his plate he started
eating right away. "Johnny, wait until
we say our prayer."
"I don't have to." The boy replied.
"Of course, you do," his mother insisted.
"We say a prayer before eating at our house."
"That's at our house," Johnny explained.
"But this is Uncle Mickey's house, and he
knows how to cook!"
