Santa’s Reindeer are Preparing for Christmas Eve!

North Pole – As I was sitting in my cottage listening to Deck the Halls, I heard some loud playful noises outside. I peeked out my window to see the reindeer flying around playing tag. It was so much fun! I love this time of year when the reindeer are getting ready to pull Santa’s sleigh! They are always ready for a game or two and spend a lot of time teaching the young deer how to fly as well.

I walked down to the stable where the reindeer are cared for and asked the elves there what has been happening over the last week. The head elf, Joy, told me that she has seen a huge surge in their activity and excitement. “They have been eating all of the carrots, hay, and other treats we have been giving them. We even caught Rudolph snacking on a Christmas Cookie! The reindeer love to dance to ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ while we are grooming them. We cannot wait for Christmas and are celebrating and preparing each day.”

The sleigh elves have also been busy touching up Santa’s sleigh with new paint and checking all of the bells to make sure they are all there. They have been adding some new bells and ribbon to the harnesses for the reindeer as well. I also noticed that Mrs. Claus was checking the toy bag to make sure it did not have any holes or tears from last year. So far, everything is looking great!
