Dec 23rd, 2017: Cairngorm Reindeer
Now everyone believes Santa make his annual rounds with 8 reindeer plus Rudolf on foggy nights.
C’mon, reindeer aren’t that strong, and having a reindeer blowout at speed is grim, very grim. The truth is Santa has spares stashed a numerous locations, one being in Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park In 1952 Santa persuaded the government to let his front man, Mikel Utsi and his wife Ethel Lindgren, bring reindeer from Sweden and run a spare reindeer farm using 10,000 acres of the National Park for free grazing. Then Alan and Elizabeth Smith took over in the 80’s, added public tours, a gift shop, mail order, and sponsorships of a reindeer for £39 ($53) a year. All with free food from the park, sweet deal.

Meanwhile, in London, a city slicker reindeer laughs at his rural cousins and takes a taxi.

In London everyone, including reindeer, is soooo sophisticated you see? Especially when it comes to haute cuisine.
