One “Prancer” Short of a Sleigh Ride

by

The Sun reports on Santa’s Reindeer.

The reindeer which pull Santa’s sleigh are thought to have come from a poem by Clement C. Moore, “A Visit From St Nicholas”.

Alas, poor Prancer. I knew ye well.

It is more commonly known as “The Night Before Christmas”, and includes reference to eight named reindeer.

Originally, the verse which includes the names has them down as: “Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!

“On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Dunder and Blixem!”

But now-a-days Dunder and Blixem are often referred to Donner and Blitzen.

Although Rudolf is the most famous of the reindeer, he is not one of the core eight first mentioned.

What does it say about the state of this family when the only rational members are thought to be the dogs?
CNSNews.com reports, “Entire Family Turns Transgender”.  Oh, my!!

An entire family – man, woman, son and daughter – in Arizona is transgender.

The father identifies as a woman. His  fiancée, the mother-to-be, identifies as a man. The son considers himself a girl and, of course, the daughter thinks she’s actually a boy. An entire transgender family, all under one roof.

KJZZ did not report the gender status of the couple’s two dogs.
