Dumbledore would NEVER do such a thing! He would be condoning cruelty and 
that's not on. Besides I'm sure he's a Union man at heart (oh dear, I think I'm 
taking this too seriously again....)

Santa's "Reindeer" (to the tune of "Good King Wenceslas"
http://rememberjosie.org/carols/s7009.asp)

We all know 'bout Santa Claus, reindeers, elves and his sleigh,
The toys and goodies he does bring to us for Christmas Day
But few know 'bout that dark, dark time
In the North Pole histr'y pages.
When Local Reindeer 29
Demanded sick leave and higher wages.

"Reindeer rights are being squashed" "Crowded stalls and old hay"
"We want change and want it now or we won't pull your old sleigh!"
"Please dear reindeer, please not fret"
Santa pleaded meekly,
"We can work this out, you bet.
New hay and water weekly!"

"Listen old man, we want more" sternly grunted Dancer
"If we don't get it, we walk out!" interjected Prancer
Santa then shook his head;
 negotiations ended.
Sleepy Santa went to bed,
The reindeer were offended.

The reindeer picketed all day and well into the night
The elves, in Union sympathy, also went on strike
They picketed for one full week
Christmas was drawing closer
Desperately Santa did seek
Help from a sorceror.

"Dear Dumbledore," Santa wrote "You've heard of my dilemna
Help me Albus, Help me please. Help your poor ol' Santa."
Dumbledore wrote back to him
" House Elves aren't unionized.
Santa to solve your problem
I'll change them to reindeer size."

House elves were transmogrified to reindeer that evening.
When he saw them, Santa cheered; the real reindeer were seething.
"Scabs!" they shouted as their line
 was crossed by the House Elf reindeer.
Santa chugged a glass of wine.
Christmas Eve was almost here.

The sleigh ride went without a hitch: the House Elves were good
reindeer
They finished two hours earlier: Santa  had a beer.
"House elves are good and strong
They work without complaining.
They work and work for hours long
In sunshine and when raining."

Since that time, House Elves have been working at the North Pole
And this story to any soul hasn't ever been told.
The reindeer tried to sue their boss
But dropped it after one year
Never mess with Santa Claus
Merry Christmas and New Year.
