How about the Samurai's chromed headgear? Your reindeer would have
some shiny horns, but otherwise, the piece could pass for 4-point
antlers.
Also, check the Nov/Dec LEGO Mania magazine -- the members' models
centerfold has a Santa and Reindeer model. I just wonder where that

isn't too far from Connecticut.
BTW, Mr. LEGO Purist, is it acceptable to add your own string to a
model?
