Go! Go! Go! Reindeer can run at 48 mph and travel up to 3000 miles every year! Ho! Ho! Ho! Oh! Oh! Oh! In Estonia, it's traditional to visit a sauna on Christmas Eve. A successful 1970s ad campaign led it to becoming popular in Japan to eat a bucket of KFC chicken on Christmas Eve- orders are now taken months in advance!

For somebody other than Santa Clause traveling with his reindeer at a constant speed of 48 mph, it would take about 21 days to circle the globe once. Just goes to show how magical Santa is.

I saw a report that the Palastinians use their tunnels into Egypt to get KFC. It takes several hours for a runner to make the round trip.

That reindeer sounds a lot like my old VW, Nice Japanese tradition, I like it. Here I’ll be smoking a brisket (and other things) for the next 18 hours. Hopefully I’ll get to sleep through the holiday so I can try to forget what a crappy year it’s been.

Reindeer traveling at 48 miles an hour??
That’s a pile of reindeer doo doo!
What they mean is kilometers per hour and it won’t travel far at that speed.
