Did you know, Santa Claus was originally depicted delivering gifts with a (Donkey) before he had reindeer: 🫏🎅❤️

🎄Southern Europe: In Southern European traditions, Father Christmas would use a donkey to deliver presents.

🎄Eastern France: In eastern France, Santa kept his presents in baskets carried by a donkey.

🎄Italy: In Italy, Santa was often accompanied by a donkey.

The image of Santa Claus riding a sleigh pulled by reindeer was popularized by the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, also known as The Night Before Christmas. The poem introduced the idea of Santa riding in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer, and gave some of them names. The names of Santa's reindeer were further popularized by the 1939 song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".
The origins of Santa Claus can be traced back to the stories of St. Nicholas, a 4th-century Greek bishop from Myra.

Today we were happy to entertain and educate a wonderful group from the Forum at Town Center retirement community. These inquisitive seniors had a big day spending some time with the donkeys. The weather was perfect and the donkeys worked their magic as they always do. Smiles all around and our guests even did a little shopping in our new art and gift gallery. We love these types of visitors! ☀️

Millie turns 30 next year. We brought her to our sanctuary after the death of her best friend and her guardian said she was shutting down and not interested in eating. She is now thriving here in the company of our other donkeys. Here she is in all her splendor with her new pink coat and also getting Blossom excited as well. We love her. #fashion #donkeysaremagic #donkeys #feelinggreat #frisky

Thanks to your generous donations we have begun work on the runouts for our new barn addition! This will allow us to have a separate 18’x32’ runout for each stall for the donkeys to access at night when they are in their barn. Each runout will be fenced with gates for our barn cleaners. Gratitude for you all❤️ #sonkeysaremagic #thankyou #braysofthanks #yourdonationsatwork

The older and health compromised donkeys are happy to walk the catwalk in their winter best. Your donations make their exceedingly trendy fashions to help keep them warm on these cold and often wet PNW winter days. Thank you all for your support! #fashion #fashionista #suave #welookgood #eatyourheartout #thankyou #donkeysofinstagram #lookatus #sonkeysaremagic
