To quote Wild Man Fisher, "He trespasses! He breaks and enters! He travels all around the world without a valid passport!"

OK. This is cute, but I'm a bit miffed at the FBI for bringing to the attention of my inner child that the reindeer are defecating in the air. Ewwww.

Wasn't Skinner the Deputy Director in the X Files?

Yup. He'll get his 2 top agents busy on any reports pronto.

Well, it's either in the air or when they stop somewhere...and with all the global deliveries they must make in a single night, I very much doubt Santa can afford to let them land for too many "potty breaks." :-) Anyone who's worked in a stable or zoo can tell you reindeer are not much more sanitary than horses in that regard. (And can you imagine how much they need to eat for the strength to haul that humongous load?)
