Reindeer Games
One of the most magical things about the Christmas story has got to be those eight flying reindeer. Not sure why this surprises us, but did you know that you can bring that magic to your own event by renting a few reindeer? These sweet and furry creatures can come as part of a display, three in a pen, or can come as a team pulling a sled. Of course, guests are encouraged to pet the deer and snap plenty of photos. If the kiddos ask why they are not flying, you can always tell them they are resting up for Christmas Eve.
