well, they're magic reindeer who fly and pull a sleigh with a fat man around teh world in 24 hours delivering presents to millions of children.
Who's to say the same magic does not make their antlers stay on. They have to have something to ram those jets out of the way.

Ahhh, what can you do, hm? It is, what it is I say. That said I wish you a Merry Christmas and whatever makes it special for you!

Personally, I love the trappings. I love the music, the food, the holly, the presents, the lights, the family get-togethers, the parties, etc. It all brings joy.
I think one of my favorite carols, an English traditional one called "The Holly and the Ivy" may pre-date...

X 2 and especially that box of chocolate covered cherries that I get every year.
It is/should be a time of JOY whatever your reason.
Ugh,, yuck! Cherries.. ( HI George,.. )
Have you seen the chocolate covered blueberries? I want to try them.
I'm not an atheist but I'm not christian, wiccan, or druid either. I like that you represent the different views that have made up today's modern celebrations.
I love christmas, I love christmas music. I give gifts, decorate, and make a christmas meal. Why? Because any excuse to give people...
