If these are the reindeer games that Rudolph was excluded from, then he might’ve been better off not playing them.
Tennessee’s Jonesborough Police Department reports in a Facebook post that a deer broke into a local Christmas store, causing havoc and eventually getting itself stuck in a chair.
The lighthearted post describes the deer as “clearly three sips too deep into the Holiday Spirits and making terrible life choices.”
“Once inside, he took a grand tour: sniffed the ornaments, inspected the garland, side-eyed a nutcracker, and galloped around like he was trying to remember where he parked the sleigh,” the post continues. “Jonesborough PD showed up, made contact and said … ‘Although it’s almost Christmas, you can’t act like this in a Main Street Christmas establishment,’ and gently escorted our tipsy legend back outside once he decided to wedge himself in the middle of an easy chair.”
The post is accompanied by a video of police guiding the chair-bound deer out of the store. Once they get outside, the animal was able to get loose and run into the night.
Hopefully the deer made the wise decision to call a cab instead of getting behind the wheel of a sleigh.
