Reindeer Get Physicals

The surprise news of the early return of Santa’s reindeer has produced many questions by our followers out there. Most want to know how the reindeer are, what the plans are for them and why they are back early.

First of all, as is standard operating procedure every year when the reindeer return, each of them is getting a physical. Doctors and vets from Reindeer Operations are working around the clock to get the thousands of reindeer who have returned cleared medically for duty.

It’s is not a long process for each reindeer but with thousands of them returning it takes some time to get them all seen. Very rarely are there problems with any of the reindeer who return.

After their physicals, the reindeer are sorted by age, where they are from and what they have done in the past with Operation Merry Christmas. This is done so that experts can begin to design a training program for each.

The North Pole Reindeer Operations Department is very happy that the reindeer are back if only for the fact they are able to feed them foods that normally are not available when they usually come back in November. We have it on good authority the reindeer are really enjoying the summer berries now seasonally available to them.

Why are they back so early?

We’re told that this is something the reindeer handlers know nothing about. Evidently Santa himself has something in mind for the reindeer and this is why they are here already.

Santa has yet to say why.

Please keep your questions coming in. We will do our best to answer them.
