Reindeer have become the must have accessory at Christmas parties and even at weddings.

One couple who left the capital to keep a herd of 20 say they are inundated with bookings, having delivered a bride to her wedding in a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
Angie Flint, a former new media company director, and Martin Flint, an ex-Thames Valley policeman, said the animals had proved hugely popular since they bought them six years ago to their Leicestershire farm.
“We really wanted to get out of London once we had kids,” said Mrs Flint, 50. “Initially we had ponies, but then we talked to some Swedish friends about reindeer and decided to get some.” The family, including children James, nine, and Jessica, 12, have been looking after four newborns. “We didn’t actually plan to breed them, it just kind of happened,” she said.
