Santa’s reindeer have been spotted in Vernon, ahead of schedule.

East Hill resident Doug Weaving spotted Blitzen, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid and Donner Monday morning.

“Santa came a day early,” said Weaving, who was with his sister when he saw the ‘reindeer’ on 12th Street. “Seven deer outside my house, just two missing: Rudolph and Dasher.”

While deer aren’t unusual in the area, seeing this many trotting down city streets was a surprise for Weaving.

He just wished his son could have been there to see Santa’s reindeer too.
