Argyle Street Reindeer

Who doesn’t love a sparkly reindeer? I mean what sourpuss could look directly at it and come away with a bitter ‘Bah Humbug’? Well, I’m sure there’s somebody, but I am fairly sure they like to stay indoors during the festive season. :P
When this dazzling denizen of festive fun appears, you know it’s time to get a move on and get organised for Christmas already! Santa can’t do it all, you know, and the magic just has to happen lest we be filled with misery all winter long!
Once upon a time, he stood wild and free with children merrily dancing about his ankles! But obviously Santa thought he was a very naughty reindeer indeed and put him behind a fence as a time-​out. Not like his brothers in the St. Enoch centre who sedately stand guardian to the hoards of Christmas Shoppers, ready to stamp out trouble at a moment’s notice. No, this little fellow loves the wind and rain and ice and snow too much to be cooped up indoors. What a holly jolly wonder he is!
I miss his shiny, wee, baubley face already! ;.;

I’m giving THE REINDEER OF CHRISTMAS JOY a five star rating because, you know, Christmas. Christmas time is the best thing in the world. You can disagree, you’re entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it may be.
The Reindeer appearing outside Debenhams and whatever overpriced American sweetie shop is next to it at the time is one of the first harbingers of Santa and his four legged friends arriving.
In actuality, it’s just a big wire frame covered in fairy lights in the shape of a reindeer… but it’s the meaning, man… THE MEANING! Love the reindeer. Live the reindeer. BE the reindeer.
There’s other reindeer in the St. Enoch Centre, but they’re indoor reindeer. They’re not hardy sorts like the Argyle Street Reindeer. The Argyle Street Reindeer is the one true reindeer.
Go and marvel at it’s shininess and reindeerishness. When you can see it, SANTA’S COMING (or just been, but that’s depressing so I don’t think about it) and that’s a good thing!
