Was it Rudolph?
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter,
usually late November to mid-December.
Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known…..
.it wasn't Rudolph, it was RUBY!

Christmas Reflections from Karan:
Restlessness is characteristic of our generation today. In these days of confusion and turmoil from life’s activities, we hardly have time to enjoy our blessings. That has certainly been true of my life these last six months.
Lyle and I finally decided to buy a home in rural Alberta, near the US border. We are now remodeling. I am not sure if it is because I am older, but our remodeling has gone extremely slow. At times, I have been so exhausted I would collapse in a heap and not move until morning, and found it hard to make decisions.
Some days in the throes of discouragement, I doubted God’s concern and care. I felt God had led us to southern Alberta, but what was to be fast and easy turned into hard and slow. Had we made a mistake?
No… just learning some love lessons in patience. Waiting for the plumber, the electrician, for a bathroom, sinks, carpenters, appliances, and flooring. Waiting, waiting, always waiting. I am working on it, but I have not perfected waiting it yet.
When life is hectic, we become preoccupied with ourselves, our circumstances and can soon forget about our friends, family, and God.
What a shame, God is the only one who can bring rest and peace in the midst of all the craziness.
Over the years, there have been hard lessons to learn, But God in his great love has shown me that the things I valued most, are not as important as the people in my life or my relationship with Him.
Especially, when faced with the fact there may not be any tomorrows left. It is funny how fast our priorities can change.
Suddenly spending time with God and talking to him seems more important than all my busy-ness for him.
Jesus knows about all of activity in our lives, because he made us. He also knows that we need times of rest both---Physically and spiritually.
On a night almost 2000 years ago, God in his love gave Himself to man in the person of Jesus Christ.
An angel choir heralded his birth in a Bethlehem manger. We still celebrate His birth today. We call it Christmas.
Thirty-three years later, Jesus Christ continued loving me when He willing took the punishment I deserved, by giving His life on the cross in order that I might have my sins forgiven,
He is the only source for perfect peace and complete rest for our souls, especially at this busy time of year. You are loved and special to Him. ©
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning…
Face it, He is crazy about you! – By Max Lucado
Merry Christmas,
Lovingly,
