SOX hanging on the mantlepiece waiting for Santa to arrive.

SAX music playing on the stereo to set the mood - Kenny whatsisname.

SEXy thoughts while kissing Santa (or Mary Christmas) under the mistletoe - have a look at the pix of my hubby - then you'll know why I'd be kissing "Santa".

& SIX??

Six reindeer? Where are the others? Six elves? Six Santa's Helpers? Six geese a-laying?

Well Fortunato my friend, I'm glad you liked the gifts!! After I signed my name in a post, I went to my wife and told her I needed to switch Santees! I thought I blew it! I still may have but, name wise, but hopefully I threw you off the trail with those few little lies. I'm glad I didn't switch, this has been a lot of fun. Now we need to pick a spot somewhere in the middle of the two of us and throw back a pint or two. After all, we're not that far from each other!!! And we can use the beer book for suggestions!!!

Take Care,

Pseudo, We'll look for an opportunity to do that. I have a grand son that lives in Elkton, MD. We get up that way from time to time, though usually he comes to stay with us. We might get out to the Delaware shore this summer as well, though that's a bit far off; we like Lewes and Broadkill for us and Bethany/Fenwick with the our herd of teenage boys. I'd love to get togther. If you're traveling down towards Silver Spring, then please let me know. Thanks again, for all and Merry Christmas.

Here's a card from Honeyville, the little village that time forgot:

Dear Secret Santa, how are you by now fine I hope. Deed, I sure did like all the presents you sent. Momma said if we get down to the flatland where my cousin Buford is living, he might have a record player. That girl sure has pretty feet, hee, hee. Mr. Hunnicut the mail carrier said beer was something you drink and came in bottles and cans and was kind of like cider without the dead possum, and would get you real drunk if you could get enough of it. I sure would like try that real special one the feller wrote about, Bud. And the calendar had pictures of some mighty big houses and they was pretty too. There sure are a lot of numbers on it. Well, Ma's a-calling me now, she's out of snuff and I got to take some skins down to the store to trade. Ya'll come up the mountain to see us, Santa, we'll set on the porch and pick. (Play Music)

Reindeer info - Not a joke!

> 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 winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till 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 would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Um... "historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer"? *BG* I assume you mean the history of the rendition and not of the subject matter!

Lemme get this straight: We're talking about flying reindeer – one with a glowing red nose – who live at the North Pole with Santa Claus and his elves at their workshopuntil the reindeer pull Santa's sleigh through the air around the world as they land on the rooftop of every house in the world and wait for Santa to go down the chimney and leave toys and go back up the chimney and do all this in one night...

...and we are trying to determine the gender of the reindeer based on facts about wildlife?

Came home from a job, and found nestled in my mailbox a wonderful surprise from my Secret Santa!

I recieved a wonderful book of Celtic verse (I LOVE all things Celtic!)...here's an excerpt from one of the poems with a Mudcat reference!

THE MYSTERY OF AMERGIN

I am the wind that breathes upon the sea
I am the ocean wave
I am the murmur of the billows.....
....I am a lake in the plain
I am a word of Knowledge....

Well, Amergin, I didn't know all of that about you! I also recieved a great looking recipe for Peppermint pressed cookies that I am going to make this weekend!

Your gift was wonderful Secret Santa, and I can't wait to find out who you are!!!

As for all the reindeer (assuming that the common illustrations of them are acturate) being female -- This conclusion is not the punchline to a joke, but based on biology.

Reindeer are (iirc) the only antlered creatures where both the males and females have a set. The males drop their antlers in the fall, after the rutting season, but the females keep their antlers all through the winter.

Since all the reindeer shown pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas eve still have antlers, they must all be female...

The one thing I've always wondered about Santa's reindeer is are they always reindeer? What I mean is that there is basically two names for them: Reindeer, which appears to be the name of choice in Europe and Asia (by English speakers, of course) and Caribou, which appears to be the name for North America. They officially have different scientific names: Rangifer tarandus & Rangifer caribou, but the Random House Dictionary (unabriged) clearly states that caribou are basically the same animal as reindeer.

Here's the question: If the two names are, for the most part,location oriented, when Santa is in the Americas is Rudolph, Olive & the rest caribou? And to further (possibly) complicate matters... I assume Santa has a fairly big plot of land at the North Pole. If so, technically part of it could be considered to be in the Western Hemisphere. When the reindeer are in that part of the property, are they caribou (and do they have different first names, since the ones they have are generally Germanic in origin, like the term reindeer)?

You may guess that I'm going a little stir crazy here, and am anxiously looking forward to my gift...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL - now go out and kill those turkeys so winter can begin!
