I awoke this morning to find one of Santa's sleigh team looking in my front window at my aquarium! As I dashed for my camera, she wandered down to a neighbors house and stopped to peer longingly at a neighbors Christmas lawn ornament. {She might have been attracted by the antlers on the fake deer, which lights up at night.}
This makes me wonder if Santa breeds his captive flying deer population. Surely it must be very difficult to catch wild caught deer that can fly....:rolleyes:

I don't know if this is Donner or Blitzin, but I know it wasn't Rudolph.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

Q- Thanks. This deer flew away right after it spotted me taking her picture. Really amazing how fast they can take off!

Yep, they're lightweight and very aerodynamic for their size, doesn't surprise me. I think it's also the fact that they have a very high torque rating compared to horsepower:D

Acceleration is very important, {especially off those frozen roof tops}, but I'll bet Santa really appreciates the outstanding gas mileage he gets out of his sleigh team.:p
