According to the Alaska Dept, 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 bottomed man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.t4. re/ yo\A/ 1Jyy Com join/TOPS forfmcmd/fitnm.
