They look very impressiv when watching them in the zoo in our town. And our smallest one loves Rudolf with the red nose ...
ReplyDeleteI live in a neighborhood that put up lights at Christmas and because there are so many lights people drive around in cars looking at all the lights. We had 5 houses going up the street that had a reindeer on the roof (I had the second reindeer on the roof of my house) and the first house had Santa and a sleigh. After several years the reindeer feel apart and we no longer have them on the roof. People still comment about the years we had the reindeer on the roof...Great memories.

In Alaska (where I live) you can hunt reindeer and a couple of winters ago my husband decide he wanted to...I hope that the only reindeer I see from now on is on cute fabric!
ReplyDeleteRudolf has a bright red nose-Yup-I seen it-wink, wink
ReplyDeleteReindeer are the most special deer as they pull Santas sleigh on Christmas eve. They also fly, one has a light up red nose and they can talk. Amazing creatures.
ReplyDeleteno Reindeer in New Zealand either .... not to mention Christmas in the sun. It's a good thing that Santa and his Reindeer can stilld eliver without snow.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby wanted to play tennis tonight but I said, "I think it is going to RAIN DEAR".
ReplyDeleteI do love that line of fabric!

ReplyDeleteTook my 5 year old son to see 2 reindeer at a garden market last year, it was hard to see as they stayed towards the back of the pen, but he still talks about seeing Blitzen and Comet, and wants to go again! Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteI just posted about a deer on my blog...does that count?
ReplyDeleteNo Reindeer in Texas but who doesnt love Rudolph with his red shiny nose !!!
ReplyDeleteKaren in Texas
Yes....just told the others at work that it is soon Christmas again. So better start up making christmaspresents already now. I have seen a lot of reindeers up north in norway, but never seen Rudulph :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to meet one, so not much of an opinion...
ReplyDeleteI don't know a thing about reindeer, so I did a Google search and this is what I found: Reindeer are good and strong swimmers.
ReplyDeleteLearned something new!
At Christmas I love to eat Reindeer Munch......I think it's called Moose Munch 11 months of the year, but in December the package is called Reindeer Munch, and that's when I eat it. Would LOVE that charm pack! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteAt my bees Christmas party a friend always puts on her reindeer gear. Her nose lights up. It is a hoot.

ReplyDeleteHere's an cool (very cool) YouTube video with reindeer from my parents homeland.
I love charm packs! Maybe it's time for a Christmas quilt?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a reindeer before.
ReplyDeleteMy Kiddos favorite Christmas movie is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1963)!
ReplyDeleteLove this fabric!
Every year I wait and watch. I do so want to see one! Yet every year the Sandman sprinkles sleep dust in my eyes seconds before the reindeer fly overhead. Maybe this year - I do so want to see them in the sky.
ReplyDeleteI'm heading for another cup of coffee. I absolutely can't think of anything about reindeer. Totally stumped. Have a great day:)
ReplyDeleteReindeer are big :)

ReplyDeletehmmm... okay... not really about reindeer...
ummm... let me try again--
I almost hit one with my car last spring! does that count :)
hmmm, I don't know much about reindeer. The first thing that comes to mind with you talking about reindeer and Christmas is the show called, "The Santa Claus" with Tim Allen. I love that show and the reindeer make me smile. Such a great giveaway and I love charm packs- thanks!
ReplyDeleteorr20004@msn.com
Reindeer are the best. I don't love them on fabric much but we love all the stories and folklore surrounding them, especially around Christmas.Our kids have fun leaving food for the reindeer and seeing the "reindeer droppings" on Christmas morning. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of animals in my time.. but never a real live reindeer.
ReplyDeleteWe live in an area with many deer. The night before Christmas Eve last year my sister was driving down our road and saw 8 (yes 8) deer crossing the road. My grandchildre were convinced they were Santa's reindeer making a visit!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is a very famous one named Rudolph! That's about all I know about reindeer. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteLast year around Christmas they had a Christmas program type thing at one of the local open air shopping malls. One of the "attractions" were two reindeer in a cage. Yeah, did I mention we live in Georgia? And not in the mountains either. Right below Atlanta. Not sure how reindeer became Atlanta suburbanites.
ReplyDeletetoo bad they don't really fly.
ReplyDeletei love the reindeer print in this line. so cute!
All I know about reindeer is that I do NOT know all the names of Santa's reindeer. I should research that. I have 177 days to do so. ;o)

ReplyDeleteFun! Reindeer... the only thing I can think of is at Turkey point (?) south of Salt Lake City you can feed reindeer in december.
ReplyDeleteI got Jan patek's new reindeer pattern, last year, so this year I am going to make it. I tend to buy things late, but now i have lots of nice patterns I can use to get an early start.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
reindeer They are amazing creatures. They are huge. I can see why santa picked them to pull his sleigh.
ReplyDeleteI love reindeer, especially Sant's reindeer, as they often bring wonderful presents of fabric and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric line and Rudolph is my favorite reindeer of them all!!
ReplyDeleteNo reindeers here in Spain so here comes a joke:
ReplyDeleteWhich of Santa's reindeer has bad manners?
"Rude"-olph!
Yes, bad I know ; )

My dad left reindeer droppings in my front yard one year...and my favorite has always been Rudolph...of course.
ReplyDeleteI love rendeers, they're so cute and big...., I specially love Rudolph, but I've heard "he" is a "female"!!!

ReplyDeleteReindeer---have you seen the book "Olive, the other reindeer." ?? Get it... "all of" "olive" it is cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win such cute fabric!
I love the image of reindeer with big old-fashioned sleigh bells. I bet (although don't know for sure) that reindeer see really well in the dark since there is little daylight near and above the Arctic Circle.
ReplyDeleteThe only reindeer I know personally is Rudolph. He's stuffed and my kids like to play with him! Love that new fabric though! And charm packs are my favorite precut!
ReplyDeleteMGM

ReplyDeleteKaren p. acp328@yahoo.com

I love this fabric!! I remember on Christmas Eve when I was little leaving cookies & milk out for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph :)
ReplyDeleteReindeer like cold, cold climates! My daughter used to see them when she lived in northern Sweden, near the artic circle.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a reindeer on TV or in a picture, I get a strange desire to kiss it on the nose.
ReplyDeletemdpntemp (at) hotmail (dot) com
I heard somewhere that it is the females that have the big antlers, not the males - so I guess it is all the women doing the hard pulling for Santa???
ReplyDeleteI once met a reindeer, he showed up at my door while I was at college! He was lost and looking for Santa, don't know how he ended up at my door?
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite children's stories is "The Wild Christmas Reindeer" by Jan Brett. Her illustrations are just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEvery year our company has their summer picnic at a reindeer ranch. It seems a bit odd to be feeding reindeer in the middle of summer but the babies are so cute and that's the best time to see them!
ReplyDeleteawwh reindeer I make them every year with my students out of hands and feet. They always turn out so cute!
ReplyDeleteI think reindeer are cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, only 177 days??? I've gotta get busy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was my favorite Christmas special.
Pick me! And if you don't hear from me right away, it's because I'm having a baby tomorrow (or maybe today. Who knows these things?) so don't give up on me responding :)

I love the book OLIVE THE OTHER REINDEER, but Olive is a dog. . . who wants to fly with Santa's Sleigh. Love all the sweetwater. . . Oh, I do know that reindeer have ankle tendons that click when they walk--helps them follow one another when the snow blinds them:)
ReplyDeleteI always remember that song by Ray Stevens about reindeer and Clyde the Camel having toys for all the little boys and girls.
ReplyDeletei love the song rudolf the red nose reindeer. one of my all time faves

ReplyDeleteI like reindeer-- but not when they poop on my lawn
ReplyDeleteGrandma got runover by a Reindeer, lol, my son loves that song!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Reindeer! Especially Rudolph!!!
ReplyDeleteRudolph is my favorite reindeer, of course! I've been singing about him ever since I can remember. And I can remember back to 1953! I think he was about 6 years old then...
ReplyDeletedo you think Santa really only has 9 reindeer of does he have backups in case one gets sick?
ReplyDeleteI just read a too sweet, too silly romance that a reindeer named Rodney in it. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI have a reindeer that my uncle made me out of logs from a birch tree. So cute! I put a wreath around his neck at Christmas. thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWe have a stuffed reindeer that comes out only during the holidays... I think the kids get more excited about it as the years go by (maybe they are just getting older to appreciate these things). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteheidiabc at cinci.rr.com

ReplyDeleteReindeer must be very popular. When I Googled them, there were 28,000,000 results!

The first thing that popped into my head was, "reindeer on roses and whiskers on kittens..." Whoops!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Rudolph. What a great underdog. He persevered and came out on top!
ReplyDeleteReindeer are not native to my home state of Florida.
ReplyDeleteMy kids loved to take Reindeer sandwiches in their lunches - a peanut butter sandwich, cut corner to corner. Use one half. Put pretzel antlers in two corners. Add a cherry nose and raisin eyes. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI love singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" with all the extra bits in it!!
ReplyDeleteLove Rudolph . It's too hot for christmas. lindagerig@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Rudolph always found Santa and the reindeer to be annoying and pompous. Not ready for Christmas just yet either.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say which reindeer, so I'll mention Dasher & Dancer, Prancer & Vixen, Comet & Cupid, Donder & Blitzen ... but do you recall ... the most famous reindeer of all??? lol lol lol Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiney nose, and if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows ... all of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names, they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games .... cause Rudolph was home sewing with his marvelous Quilt Taffy purchases!! LOL
ReplyDeletehmmm, I have pet reindeer before.
ReplyDeleteHe'll go down in history (His Story) Rudolph that is.....
ReplyDeleteSo cute. =) And oddly enough, I have seen REAL reindeer. There was a man that lived about 30 miles north of my college that had a small herd. <3
ReplyDeleteHow amazing is the Rudulph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie???
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised we call them reindeer, and not snowdeer :)
ReplyDeleteMy oldest granddaughter had her picture taken last Christmas time with Santa and his reindeer. Thanks for a chance to win this great charm pack.

We were given reindeer sausage on a trip to Alaska years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy Kids leave out "special reindeer food" every year for Rudolph and cookies for Santa of course! :)
ReplyDeleteJodie
Oh what a wonderful line! I have to go get me lots of that! When our kids were young we used to leave a pair of deer antlers in the yard so the kids thought they were from the reindeer! It was a fun thing to do. It worked until one summer they found them in dad's shed!
ReplyDeleteI got to see some reindeer when I was 17, way back in 1988. I was an exchange student in Finland and went to Lappland, where "real" reindeer live!
ReplyDeleteWe make reindeer food. Oatmeal and red glitter. That way Rudolph can see the food sparkling in the moon light. (The oatmeal melts into the grass if the reindeer are not hungry) :) Love Reindeers.
ReplyDelete
