There was excitement in the air as soon as we arrived at Running Reindeer Ranch. A moose and an almost-year-old calf were spotted in the nearby trees. You have to keep a healthy distance from moose, especially if they have a calf. The reindeer are more like giant friendly pets, but you still have to keep an eye on the antlers. My favourites were Carl and Toby. Carl has the biggest antlers and Toby has none. Toby was a one of their naughtiest so he had to have his antlers trimmed to adjust his attitude. Don’t feel too sorry for him—Reindeer grow a new set of antlers yearly Do you know the very old Christmas song Up on the Housetop? Part of it goes: Up on the housetop, reindeer pause Out jumps good old Santa Claus Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick They don’t just use the click to rhyme with nick—reindeer click when they walk. If you listen carefully to Ray’s video you can hear it. The sound comes from something in their legs that helps them bounce through the snow. I love animals and loved the reindeer. Which would be your favourite? Carl with the giant antlers or Toby with the attitude? Staying warm. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
