Cover
This inflatable reindeer seems
to be wondering what all the
fuss is about come December
every year. It’s the Christmas
rush, of course, and aside
from the negative aspects of
pushing crowds, congested
traffic and more money than
ever going down the drain,
there is also joy to be found in
the season of giving. Now, if
only we can make our little
friend the reindeer under
stand.
