Among the most warmly & widely-embraced creatures of modern lore, Santa’s ladies are only 200 years old and arguably American in origin, as one only makes its first official appearance with Santa in a 1821 NY magazine. The full team of 8 appeared 2 years later in the famous “Twas the Night Before Christmas” poem by Clement Moore. Did you know they’re all ladies? Female (and expecting!) reindeer keep their antlers in the winter, but the males shed theirs. If for 200 years, gifts have been carried around the world by magical mothers-to-be, that might explain how so many can be delivered in one night. Maybe the Christmas night sky is full of matriarchal teams, carrying joy to wee ones everywhere.
サンタのトナカイの物語はわずか200年の歴史しかありません！しかし、彼らはとても人気があり、世界中の子どもたちが信じています。ところで、彼らが全員メスだって知っていましたか？メスのトナカイ(しかも妊娠中！)は冬でも角を持ち続けますが、オスのトナカイは冬になると角を落とします
