Reindeer and other traditions
Reindeer are a deer of the Arctic regions of the world, the largest reaching up to four feet high at the shoulders and up to 250 pounds in weight. It is believed that there are no longer any wild reindeer; the entire species seems to have been domesticated. Each reindeer can pull up to twice its own weight, making it an ideal animal for pulling a sleigh weighed down with any load .
Santa's reindeer (Donder, Cupid, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Comet, Blitzen, Vixen, Rudolph)
are the only known flying reindeer in existance, believed to be given the power of flight by magic corn given to Kris Kringle by a great wizard. Through this magic corn, the reindeer's strength is increased to three times normal, their stamina in increased to infinity, and their hoofs can use the air as if it were solid ground. This means that the normal reindeer compliment of nine can pull a sleigh full of toys up to 13,500 pounds for an unlimited amount of time.
