Santa's Reindeer - Christmas in Central Oregon

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Desert Sky Real Estate, LLC 200201121

Where do Santa's Reindeer go when Christmas has passed and they are gearing up for the next year?

Redmond, Oregon of Course!  Home of Operation Santa Claus

It takes a lot of rest to be able to pull a sleigh and balance a set of antlers like that!

These guys are eating up to build their strength for the big day.

Time to practice take off (you know, Reindeer games).  On your mark, get set......

Reindeer are only one of the many things Central Oregon has to offer locals and visitors alike.  Winter is a beautiful time of year here.  You won't want to miss it!

The pics are priceless!  We are not getting any of the white stuff here so it is nice to see it.  I hope you have a safe and warm holiday.

Hi Terri, My daughter lives in Portland and is really snowed in.  Looks like you are getting your share of snow as well.

Melody - Sorry you didn't gt any of the good white stuff for Christmas.  I just got back from a few days away and ours is all melting rapidly :~(

Fred - I hear Rudolph is trying to keep a low profile so as not to attract the paparazzi.

Thanks Pat!  I did have a great Christmas.

Mike - They are located on the Hwy between Sisters and Redmond, just on the edge of Redmond.  I think Blitzen is the one laying with his back to everyone else.  Having a rough day :~)
