Olive, the other reindeer

Camille and I had a very philosophical discussion the other night.

C: Mom, go through the names of the reindeer again.

M: Well, there's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen..

C: And Rudolph?

M: Yep, and Rudolph.

C: And Olive.

M: What?

C: Olive. Olive, the other reindeer.

M: ??????.......Ohhhh.. No, honey, the song goes "All of the other reindeer, not Olive. Like "a-l-l space o-f."

C: No, Mom, it's Olive.

Well, what do I know? With the population of the world growing and all, Santa's entitled to hire new personnel...you know, stimulate the economy. And, even magical reindeer have their limits before they experience overwork and job stress, causing unnecessary sick days and an overall deteriorating quality of health.

Good thinking, Santa.
