Reindeer

On Christmas eve we have a tradition of driving around and looking at the lights everyone has put up around their homes. This year when we went down one road I spotted some deer. They were grazing in a field. There were 4 to 6 of them (hard to be sure, it was dark). My wife stated to my 4 year old that they might be Santas deer. She didn't seem to buy it at first, but at one point the headlights reflected off one of them and it looked red. She got excited and said that must be Rudolf. We then turned around and made our way back home. I said to my wife that we couldn't have planned that any better.
