How to Spot a
Reindeer.
1. Make sure you
know what a reindeer looks like.
Study pictures of
reindeer and keep them handy on
Christmas Eve.
2.Learn how to watch
the night sky. Sometimes you
can see Rudolph's
nose glowing as Santa whisks by
on his sled, but
you have to look really hard. Once
you find Rudolph,
though, you can usually see the
other reindeer following
behind.
3. Listen. You might
hear the jingling of sleigh bells or
- if you're really
lucky - the reindeers' hooves on
your roof. Read
"The Night Before Christmas" to get
an idea of how the
hooves might sound.
4. Learn the names
of all Santa's reindeer. If you
actually get close,
you might want to call them by
name, just like
Santa does. Memorize the song
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer" to help you learn
and remember their
names.
5. Get online on
Christmas Eve and find a Web site that
tracks where Santa
and his reindeer are as they sweep
across the skies.
(See Claus.com, under Related Sites.)
When you know Santa
is in your area, you might have a
better chance of
seeing the reindeer.
6. Make Sure you
leave some Food for them (recipe Below).
You just might get
lucky and hear Santa feeding them
while they wait
on your roof.
Tips:
Don't be too sad
if you don't spot a reindeer.
They are so quick
that not many people are able to
find them.
