Male reindeer shed their antlers in the fall; the females keep them through the Spring. Since Christmas is in the winter, and all the reindeer, including Rudolph (Rudolphina?), are shown with antlers, all of them must have been female. Another instance of males getting credit for work done by females. https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/fun-facts-about-reindeer-and-caribou
