As we sat down to help our son write out his letter to Santa this year, we discussed the fact that Santa’s reindeer must be getting close to retirement. It was obvious — this is the solution to our deer problem! Santa can recruit sleigh-pulling replacements from our large selection of urban deer.

Our deer are ideal reindeer replacements for the world Santa now has to deal with. They are lighter and have a good strength-to-weight ratio.

They are smaller, excellent at navigating urban centres and landing on smaller rooftops.

They are fit — who hasn’t seen them leaping tall fences in a single bound. They are fearless: dogs, people, and cars don’t phase them.

They are self-sufficient; the elves won’t have to feed them since they will browse the garbage and garden.

Santa, when you come through town today, take a look at our deer. Remember, Dasher doesn’t have much dash left in him and Donner is losing his thunder.

Happy Holidays Invermere!
