So reindeer lived in Idaho at one time. This explains why Santa hauls his gifts around in a gunnysack.

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

It’s not always easy to tell the sex of a reindeer. In most deer species, only the male grows antlers, but that’s not true for most reindeer. Although the females in certain populations do not have antlers, many do. During certain times of year, you can still tell the sex of a reindeer by checking for antlers. That’s because males lose their antlers in winter or spring, but females shed theirs in the summer. The females are significantly smaller than the males, but you may get thrown if you come across a particularly large female or a small male.
Got all that?

I'm guessing if the reindeer's name is Donner or Blitzen it is male.
