The Sleigh Team

How did the reindeer learn to fly?

You see, children, many, many winters ago, I rode a wondrous eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. Sleipnir was not just any horse; he was the swiftest and most majestic of all, able to leap across mountains and dance between stars.

One special night, while riding through the cold and glittering sky, I realized that the magic in Sleipnir's hooves could be shared. I wanted to bring joy and gifts to all the children of the world, not just on one night but every Christmas Eve.

So, I found nine beautiful reindeer and bestowed upon them a sprinkle of Sleipnir's magic. That's how they learned to fly!

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen, and my dear friend Rudolph – they all carry a piece of that ancient magic. With twinkling eyes and hearts full of cheer, they pull my sleigh, carrying love, happiness, and gifts to children everywhere.

When you look out your window on Christmas Eve, and you see a streak of light across the sky, remember the magical journey of my flying reindeer. They fly with the grace of Sleipnir and the joy of Christmas, bridging the old world with our wonderful holiday celebrations today.
