Now don't get me wrong here. I love penguins. One of my favorite "claims to fame" is the fact that penguins live in my mission, but I do have one question. When did the penguin become a Christmas icon? Last time I checked, they were not there with the shepherds and sheep, nor were they with the camels and wisemen. Last time I watched PLANET EARTH or MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, Antartica was the typical place for penguins. That places them geographically NO WHERE near the reindeer, elves, and North Pole. Yet...the latest trend in Christmas decorations has penguins in santa hats, wrapped in lights, holding candy canes, etc...anyone care to explain this one to me?
PS "because they're cute" is an unacceptable answer.

Now, I don't know if your question was rhetorical or not, but I think because most people aren't bright enough to understand the difference between the north and south pole. SO anything that lives in the cold snowy regions, must be associtated with Christmas. It's all I can guess
