Sure, the Christmas delivery trek is hard on the plump man in the red suit.

But aside from sliding down chimneys, he’s got a sweet gig compared to his reindeer. The dude gets to globetrot sitting down.

How about Dasher, Prancer, Vixen and the gang? Are they are fit for the task?

Not to worry. Santa’s veterinarian has cleared the reindeer for the journey and given the green light to Rudolph’s red nose.

“After a thorough examination I can tell you that Santa’s reindeer are perfectly healthy and in great shape, and ready for their flight,” said Dr. Kinnarney, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
