If you ever wondered how Santa's reindeer were able to fly....

Wonder no more.

Haynes believes reindeer deliberately seek out the mushrooms to escape the monotony of dreary long winters. Writing in the respected Pharmaceutical Journal, Mr Haynes said: "They have a desire to experience altered states of consciousness.
"For humans a common side-effect of mushrooms is the feeling of flying, so it's interesting the legend about Santa's reindeer is they can fly."

The island of Patamos, where John, the author of Revalation is from, is also covered in halucinigenic mushrooms.

That would go to explain a lot.

People in Alaska say the difference between Caribou and Reindeer is that Caribou can't fly.

Reindeer could fly, until Theodore Honey did the right thing and grounded them.

Just great. So that means we got a few thousand tons of gifts towed by magical 'shroom tripping reindeer driven by a sleep deprived old man drunk off of thousands of glasses of spiked 'nog, all traveling around mach 3000.

Merry Christmas

For those wondering about the obscure reference - it's one of the few movies I really like.
