Sing hey! Sing hey!; For Christmas Day; Twine mistletoe and holly; For a friendship glows; In winter snows; And so let's all be jolly! ~ Anonymous

REINDEER GAMES

Reideer JokesList of Christmas JokesSanta Claus Timeline
  • LONG JUMP - Since our reindeer can actually fly, you can imagine the distances we get on this one.
  • 100 COUNTRY DASH - Each year, our computers randomly generate a list of 100 countries, and the reindeer see who can get to all of them first. This year's list of countries included Micronesia, Gabon, Luxembourg and Fort McMurdo in Antarctica (not technically a country, but thrown in for the challenge). I personally like this event, because the reindeer often come back with souvineers for Santa!
  • SLEIGH PULLS - This one, of course, makes good sense, since that's what the reindeer are actually going to be doing, come Christmas Eve. This is a team event, with 2-deer, 4-deer, and the standard 8-deer setup.
  • SWIMSUIT COMPETITION - Ha! Santa's just pulling your leg with this one.
  • TALENT SHOW - Believe me, you haven't lived until you see an all-reindeer version of "King Lear." It just chokes me up every time.
  • CHIMNEY SLALOM - One of the biggest problems we have on Christmas is zipping between all those brick chimneys out there. Each year, we set up a new, randomized course, and the deer flit through it. It's breathtaking. We also ruin a lot of perfectly good chimneys.
  • FIGURE SKATING - Reindeer. Ice Skates. You wouldn't think that it'd work. But it does!
  • LONG-DISTANCE PACKAGE DELIVERY - This is a mixed event, with reindeer and elves. The elf gets in a single-deer sleigh filled with toys, and the idea is to see how many toys they can hurl down a chimney from the highest possible altitude. This takes delicate coordination between the elf and the deer: the elf's got have dead-on aim, and the deer has to keep the sleigh high and steady. The highest compliment that you can get in this game is when you get a toy straight down the chimney without hitting the brick: "Nothin' But Log."
  • SANTA "COMPLIMENTING" - The idea here is to make fun of Santa while making it sound like you're actually complimenting him. I don't know how this one got started.
  • KARAOKE - The only problem here is that the only thing the reindeer want to sing is ABBA.
