![[Image: oSkO9mN0mx5TDd7HnVEKAfL896TculDL8V7fyCaI...CI3f2LhkZj]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/oSkO9mN0mx5TDd7HnVEKAfL896TculDL8V7fyCaIoVJF8Z-9WU7P3Jl5lUdczAmWDzRAEQshJxutzCh9Qw-VXYtvyNqJcDXW57RPNb4eJ1xXDbMdbTKbMhmpeboatdCI3f2LhkZj) It's day 18 on our advent calendar and behind this door there's... another exclusive interview! This time around we've managed to secure exclusive access to one of those closest to Father Christmas himself, those who spend the most time with him at his busiest time of year - one of his inner circle, you might say. Yes, we've managed to grab five minutes to chat with one of Santa's reindeer, and not just any reindeer, no! We've been speaking to the most famous reindeer of them all, the star of many a film and song, so please, brace yourselves for the second greatest journalistic event of the TSP year as we chat to... Donner! Donner: I'm... er... this is awkward. Advent Calendar: What's awkward? Donner: Well, you see... I mean... I thought you knew! AC: I don't follow. Donner: I'm not the most famous of Santa's reindeer. AC: I don't understand. When we phoned up the North Pole office they said we'd be getting Santa's Star reindeer. If you're not him, then who is? Donner: Oh, I am Santa's star reindeer, or I was at the time you called. It's an employee incentive scheme, you see, sorta like 'employee of the month'. I got it in November for kicking one of Santa's elves in the- AC: But that's not what we wanted at all! Donner: Yeah, well, life's one great big disappointment isn't it? AC: You sound like you're speaking from experience. Donner: Oh, I've got experience all right. I've been travelling the globe with Santa since 1823, you know. I've seen it all! I've seen the litter bins of Istanbul, the cesspits of Lhasa, the back alley robberies of London and LA. You name it, I've seen it! AC: Aren't there any more pleasant things you've seen? Donner: You do know we do all our travelling at night, right? And we have to do our best not to be seen? That's not glamorous work. That's the kind of work that gets you lumped together with cutthroats and thieves. Mind you, back when he was just Saint Nick, old Santa once punched a heretic in a council meeting, so... AC: Oh! Do you have lots of juicy gossip about Santa, then? Donner: No, not really. Just that one. AC: Oh. Donner: As I said, life's just one great big disappointment. I mean, take me for example, travelling the backwaters of the world for nearly two centuries and how many children can actually remember my name? I mean it's the same for most of us, but Dasher and Dancer usually get a look in now and then. Me, I'm a low-scoring answer on Pointless for crying out loud! AC: You sound bitter. Would you like to talk about it? Donner: Well, it's all because of that young upstart, you see: Rudolph and his 'nose so bright'! Do you want to know how it got that way? Let me just say that, for a while there, you could still make out the hoofprint! AC: So this Rudolph: he's more famous than you? Donner: What kinda qualifications do you need to be a journalist in TSP anyway? How on earth do you not know who Rudolph is? AC: Well, I heard some rumours on the Regional Message Board, but- Donner: He's only the only reindeer anyone ever cares about. I mean, we got along fine for over a century guiding Santa all about the place. We even survived the London smog! And then Rudolph comes along and starts leading the way with that nose of his and suddenly there're songs and films and merchandise and us other reindeer are practically forgotten! AC: So, you're saying that Rudolph is the one we should have been interviewing? Donner: You know what, that's it! Ignorance I can cope with but that's just insulting. Actually, no, come a little closer and maybe Santa'll give me the December star as well...
