3. Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs instead
of reindeer.
for many years I could not believe that Americans still had a hunting
dog called a Coon Dog. I thought 'how could they have a breed of dog
specifically to hunt down black people'. Then of course I realised that
coon was short for Raccoon. Whereas is in this country coon was an
offensive word used by racists to describe black people . I realised
this when the Maine Coon Cat became popular here. (still cannot
undertsand why people would pay a lot of money for a pedigree cat that
looks like a moggy)
