According to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer, males shed their antlers in the beginning of winter. Females, on the other hoof, keep their antlers until spring. This means that all of Santa Claus’s reindeer on Christmas Eve must be female. We should not be surprised. Only females could drag all around the world at night without ever getting lost a weighty sleigh, humongous, ginormous bag of toys and a fat guy in a suit who takes all the credit. Now that I have your attention, here’s my biography of Santa Claus, who is also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kriss Kringle, Father Christmas, or simply Santa.
