Where Do Reindeer Come From?

The Era Leader (weekly paper from Franklinton, LA) Christmas edition asked preschoolers the question "Where does Santa get his reindeer?"

Kristen-Age 4
"He gets 'em over by the church. There's a big one named Rudolph over there right now. Did you know they like to eat Cowboy Beans?"

Breanna-Age 4
"They come from berry bushes. They can fly if they flap their legs real hard. They can flap and fly for a long time before they get tired."

Brandon-Age 5
"Santa gets his reindeer in the woods. They live at the North Pole where the Snow Bear lives and you have to catch them with a net 'cause they're tricky."

Kevin-Age 4
"Santa saw them flying around the moon one night singing 'Jingle Bells' and said 'Rudolph, will you guide my sleigh tonight?' and Rudolph said, 'Sure, I love Christmas!"'

Hope-Age 4
"You get reindeer at Walmart, silly. They have these little wings, that's how they fly."

Evan-Age 3
"He gets 'em up in the sky. Santa has this special boy that feeds 'em reindeer food and that's what makes 'em fly. That boy don't like reindeer though cause they eat too much!"

Josh-Age 2
"I don't know where Santa gets his reindeer, but they sing Jingle Bells when they're flying and do you know about Rudolph? He's the one that's got that nose. He likes to eat donuts!"

Kendra-Age 3
"Santa gets 'em from God. See, Santa and God are good friends and good friends help each other, right?"
