How many reindeer is Santa supposed to have? I only count five there....

Nice one. :D

[von Tom]

9 - the rear four are pairs with Rudolph at the front :) And before anyone points it out, yes, Santa must be inverted to appear upright in the eyepiece!

That's definitely one for the conspiracy theorists. :D

I suspect he was trying out the maneuver Denzel Washington did in the new movie "Flight"... :lol:

Rudloph isnt a real reindeer anyway.
He was created as a marketing ploy by a depertment store in the USA, around 1920 (?) I think.

Pretty good job throught the scope with the iphone though. Have tried this many times and still cant get it!!!:):)
