This thunderous reindeer
got his name because
he's been struck by lightning so much that he is
now
actually electrically charged. It all started in his early
childhood
when he grew up on the highest peaks of
the Swiss Alps. The peaks are so
close to the sky
that every time a storm cloud passed by it would
ZAP-POW... Blitzen right on his antlers.
Blitzen eventually was able to get radio and television
stations on his
antlers because of all the electricity. On
top of that he started to
point north all the time, just
like a compass.
One day, Blitzen decided to follow his
magnetic
attraction and go the North Pole. When he got there,
Santa
immediately saw the potential in Blitzen and
made him a part of his
reindeer team.
Now Blitzen serves as Santa's compass, radio
back to the North Pole, and
lightning rod in case they
have to fly through storm clouds. |
