Friday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing

By Derek Davis

18th Dec 2020 | Local News

Did you know?

It would be impossible for Rudolph alone to pull Santa's sleigh as it is filled with gifts to the brim for every good child in the world. Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, is in fact, Santa's ninth reindeer. And there are eight other reindeers who help him. These eight reindeers are Cupid, Dancer, Vixen, Dunder, Comet, Dasher, Prancer, and Blixem.
