There's new word that Santa's reindeer could be close to an all-female squad. Afterall, they never get lost, and they do love their bling.
Bambi, Boss and Big Steer are three of the reindeer on Santa's B team. They hang out at This is the Place Heritage Park in case he needs them. But they wouldn't reveal many secrets.
The park's spokesman, Rod Clifford, says people wonder if Santa's reindeer are boys or girls. He said, "There's no way to tell watching them in the sky which is which."
But since Santa's reindeer still have antlers in the winter, they are most likely female, or neutered males. Male reindeer lose their antlers by Christmas.
Donner and Blitzen are male names, but Vixen is obviously a girl. Rumor is they have problems with her in the off season.
As for Rudolph's red nose, we females love our bling.
