Merry Christmas to everyone in the world who is Christian, and to others who celebrate it — just for the heaven of it.

Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in late Autumn. All Santa’s reindeer are therefore female, which means Rudolph is persistently misgendered.

If people left Hot Tea, Carrots, and Celery for Santa on the table Christmas Eve, rather than Milk & Cookies, I bet he’d be much, much, thinner.

Northern Hemisphere Reasoning:
December Solstice has the least daylight, so for every day of Winter & Spring, daylight increases, up to the Summer Solstice.
June Solstice has the most daylight, so for every day of Summer & Autumn, daylight decreases, up to the Winter Solstice.

An author-signed book is one of the most affordable gifts you can give a friend or loved one.
The American Museum of Natural History shop stocks a dozen of my books, pre-signed by me. You’ll pay near-list price or a Black-Friday price, but proceeds go to the Museum.
