Well, Jolene, great question, but you can find toy trends online, I’d like to address a gargantous falsehood that has been torturing us for centuries. It is about time we take a stand, right? Miss Rudolph, Mrs. Dancer and Aunt Blitzen? I understand you are the Fun Specialist and meet a lot of people. Will you share our message? WE ARE FEMALES! We are the ones who work so hard to bring Santa around the world. It is time to be recognized.
Rudolph and family
In our travels in August to our neighbor to the north we visited all of Rudolph’s friends and family at reindeer farm. MCI would have a heyday selling headset phone plans to them. This reindeer farm was a touch magical and at the same time demystifying. In the movies, Prancer and Donner and friends are tall. Reindeer come in a wide range of sizes (if you are ordering online).
Reindeer Farm
We walked through a little house structure to get to the reindeer. The young woman gives us reindeer food (tasty) and tells us the youngsters are shy. I don’t know about you, but before I hangout in an open space with animals with big piercing antlers, I’d like to know more about the animals tendencies. I guess this is where my event planning and professional speaking expericence comes into play. Yes, I want to know the audience before I begin.
Feeding the reindeer
We approached the little guys slowly, indeed they are skiddish. Now, when we found the older dudes who know we have food for them, they were keen on us. How do you feed an animal who has 30″ inches of pointy, pokey implements in your face? Perhaps this was my personal problem. As the reindeer bends his head to eat the food from my hand, his and hers heavy antlers follow. Getting out of antler range took some trial and error. Long arms would be beneficial, but was not an option.
Cool Factoid
Both the guys and gals grow antlers every year. I wonder how much the antlers grew while we were there, seriously.
If you have felt the texture of a cattail or a pussy willow, their antlers are a similar fuzzy texture. However, they are a sensitive, not about their fuzzy fashion, but to the touch.
If you look at this senior dude here with the pink mushroom looking globs around his antlers, he is sporting last years new color palette of chocolate and pink colors. He would not tell me how he grew this unique fashion statement, perhaps like a magician he doesn’t want to share his secrets.
Santa’s Lady Crew
The deal is the males lose their antlers in November and December, so females are the ones who help Santa. I do want to share Comet’s message to the world. Santa’s team is female. After all women and minorities are coming it up, why should this movement be just for humans. I knew there was a meaningful connection between this blog entry and me. We both want to speak up for justice.
Merry Christmas!
