Santa didn't start out in a sleigh with flying reindeer, it was a much more humble and let's face it likely beginning. Of course he was also St. Nicholas at that time and his gift giving was on his feast day which was December 6. St. Nicholas rode a donkey on his rounds and children left carrots and hay in their shoes by the door hoping for a small gift. Now back to the reindeer...their eyes would have been blue since it was winter but had it been summer their eyes would have been golden as their eyes change color with the seasons to allow them to see 1,000 times better in the darkness of the winter.
