Christmas Plans

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—-has 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.

Well, we’re off to Denver in the early morning hours tomorrow. We’ll be
back (after flying all night through Atlanta) on the a.m. of the 27th.
Have a lovely time wherever you find yourselves.
