Santa and his Reindeer

The full size sleigh and nine reindeer had been a figment of my imagination since I was very young. Several times I would make them out of construction paper and hang them up on the walls. Then with a spark of energy in 1993 (when the reindeer were first displayed, after my graduation from Hunterdon Central High School, I spent about a month cutting out and sanding down the reindeer from plywood. Finally in 1994, I finished detailing the reindeer and put them all to lites. They each have a name tag and painted harnesses with bells. Santa didn't come until after Christmas in 1995. In 1996, I had an inspiration to make them fly, they now stand supported underneith by joists and the two large trees you see on either side of the reindeer. On the left you can see a half image of the plane as it flyies toward you.
