For all you nautical characters . . . this is awfully silly, but it's been a real hit with the kiddies at Chanteyranger's park's "Christmas at Sea" event:

What do you do with a red-nosed reindeer?
What do you do with a red-nosed reindeer?
What do you do with a red-nosed reindeer
ear-lie Christmas morning?

Way-hey, up he rises
Way-hey, up he rises
Way-hey, up he rises
ear-lie Christmas morning

(verses ad lib; our faves include the following:)

Fill him up with figgy pudding

Throw him in the eggnog, make him drink it

Don't let him play any reindeer games

Put him in charge of an elf self help group

Give him a sack of magic feed corn

Hitch him up to Santa's sleigh

Send him on a fast flight 'round the planet

That's what we do with a red-nosed reindeer . . .
