The holidays are the greatest time of year. With laughter and good cheer, being spread for all to hear. With carols being sung, and lots of baking getting done. What child could resist, getting a Jack Frost kiss. Building Frosty in the snow, sledding down the snowy slopes. Decking the halls with boughs of holly, trimming the tree, and being jolly. With so many fun family traditions to be had, how could anyone be sad. Tell us, friends: what is your favorite Christmas time tradition?

Santa's Reindeer

The story behind Santa's reindeer comes from a compilation of two different poems written almost a hundred years a part. In 1823, Clement C. Moore wrote a poem called, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," in which he described in detail what the magical figure looked like and gave him eight flying reindeer. This story is also known as "Twas a Night Before Christmas" in modern times. Once the eight reindeer were established, a hundred years later, Robert L. May wrote a poem using the same rhyme as Moore's called "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in 1939. The rest, as they say, is history. While all nine reindeer have their place within the holiday's we want to know: which reindeer is your favorite?
