What could be more festive than a whole gallery of reindeer photos.
Rudolph's pals have been regular visits to Sunderland and Echo photographers have been there to record them.
Take a look at Prancer in Pennywell in 2012, Frosty at Lumley Junior School in 2013, and Hornet in Mowbray Park in 2014.
Let's ring some Christmas bells with these memories.
