1. Reindeer can see light wavelengths shorter than humans. So Rudolph's nose wasn't the reason he could see on that dark and stormy night. It is also the reason why so many reindeer are used in black ops missions.
2. In honor of Rudolph, the official reindeer martial art considers red to be the top belt. There is a movie popularizing it starring Lorenzo Lamas called Blood Rein: RudeWolf.
3. Despite her name (or maybe because of it!), Vixen once considered joining a convent.
4. The famous poem refers to "eight tiny reindeer" even though adult males can weigh as much as 700 pounds. This is because Santa hoards food. Some say this is the reason the Arctic subspecies of reindeer is extinct.
5. Reindeer and Caribou are the same thing. They don't drink coffee, but if you are in a Caribou Coffee, you can order a snowdrift. Because I am not telling you what that is, anything they bring you will be fine.
6. They can run up to 50 mph. But they can fly faster than sound when they think Santa is going to eat them.
7. Rudolph drank a lot. His nose probably started as just slightly pink, until he was really lit.
8. Reindeer have terrible table manners. They are rude to other reindeer with physical disfigurements. In general, they are not good Christmas guests.
