With Christmas a week away, I expect Santa and his elves are working round the clock. But what about the reindeer? How do they prepare for their incredible world flight on Christmas Eve? I’d be carb-loading for sure!
I’ve wondered this for many holiday seasons, and this year I
may have found a clue. Take a look at this common-looking deer I spotted
recently while taking an early morning hike.
Only later, when I checked out this picture, did I notice those odd glimmers of sparkling light on the twigs near her body. Remaining drops of dew possibly reflected the angled sun rays, but I suspect the camera lens detected magic radiating off this special deer—a reindeer. She was grazing and taking a peaceful stroll through the woods. I think she was centering for her enormous responsibilities soon approaching.
