The reindeer collection: my tall fellow

A few days late, but I'll try and post a reindeer and a story everyday until, and maybe past, Christmas.

This handsome, tall fellow was a gift, as many of my reindeer are. Once you start collecting something, friends and family are relieved and make purchases to fill out your collection.

He's quite tall and breakable and I can't believe I've kept him in such good shape for the over 10--perhaps 15?--years I've had him. He came in a special box and that's where he spends the other 11 months of the year, carefully wrapped in paper and settled gently into his box and then into a bigger one.

I don't give my reindeer names, only smiles.
