We were having lunch at a favourite restaurant overlooking the lake when we spied a reindeer.

In North America, reindeer are called caribou (unless they’re domesticated, in which case they‘re called reindeer – confused yet?), but they’re actually the same animal, domesticated or not.

The one above is actually a lovely little forest deer, but his appearance was very appropriate I thought, especially for December 23.

Do you like our December weather? It’s a fantastic break from all the rain!

Happy December 24.
