Santa鈥檚 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.

鈥淪anta came a day early,鈥 said Weaving, who was with his sister when he saw the 鈥榬eindeer鈥 on 12th Street. 鈥淪even deer outside my house, just two missing: Rudolph and Dasher.鈥

While deer aren鈥檛 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鈥檚 reindeer too.
