The Ice Palace is packed here at the North Pole, and the reindeer are about to enter. It’s time for the Closing Ceremonies for this year’s Reindeer Games! The competition is over now, and it’s time for the awards. As fate would have it, each reindeer won a gold medal in the Games. That’s one gold medal each for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen! And a pat on the antler for each reindeer, as well, for all the events where they couldn’t quite finish first, but still gave their best effort. Santa is entering the Ice Palace now, and has a gold medal for each of the Great Eight. ![[by Timbo Elf]](/images_story/RG_ClosingCeremonies_B.jpg)
