I think Santa left one of his reindeer behind! Had an 8 point buck in the front yard this morning! He wasn't running but he was walking at a good clip. But I didn't see any sleigh tracks though.
I'm sure the sleigh would have been around somewhere - even Santa's reindeer need to have a pit stop every now and then.
The sleigh has an "invisible to adults" shield, only children can see it and them. As long as the reindeer and Santa are connected to the sleigh, it hides them but when one of the reindeer needs to make a pit stop he has to leave the protected area and becomes visible to adults. And the sleigh doesn't leave tracks. it hovers.
I have always wondered if they did like birds and just go in mid flight? I hope NOT! We saw a small herd of deer crossing the road yesterday. And Wednesday, we saw 20+ turkeys in a field.
We had 5 under our bird feeder late yesterday. Doe and her twins+ friends. One looking right in window.
