According to the Alaska Department 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 each winter, usually late November or
mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers until 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've known. Only women, while
pregnant, would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around
the world in one night and not get lost.
