Again I think we need to make a distinction, we are talking about flying reindeers, if as a hoofed ruminate one is able to over come the forces of gravity then I think from a coolness standpoint you are calling the shots on headgear. In the flying nun, Sister Batrille (Sally Field) was able to become airborne and steer with the use of her nun hat, I think it was called a habit. Rudolph had a very shiny nose but he also was sporting some serious antlers. So I think the whole anti gravity aspect needs to be considered and we should dismiss anything that does not jive with old Saint Nick.It get worse. Reindeer are the only species in which both males and females have antlers. The males drop their antlers early in the piece. Females generally drop late fall/early winter. However pregnant females retain their antlers much later into the depths of winter. This is to give them an advantage is accessing scarce food during their winter pregnancy. Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere is in mid winter.
So ask yourself, what sort of cruel bastard would force a group of pregnant females out into a freezing cold snowy night and make them haul a heavy sleigh over vast distances, just so that he could have an excuse to visit small children?
