Storybook magic & real reindeer

Dasher’s adventures, personality, and flight-academy role are make-believe Christmas lore. Real reindeer are Arctic and sub-Arctic animals; in North America they are also called caribou. Their biology is real, but it cannot tell us the sex or identity of a fictional Christmas character.
