50 According to Syrian tradition which animal delivers Christmas presents?
-- answer removed --
I set a Christmas quiz and asked folk to name Santa's ten reindeer. Some teams got seven or eight and some got nine. I read out the list and when I got to Olive there were a fair few strange looks.
If you listen to the Rudolph song, it clearly says "OLIVE, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names!"
Like I said, just a wee bit fun
