In December of 1959, the 34th Armor Division at Fort Lewis created this display by placing a Santa figure in an M-48 Patton tank “sleigh” and utilizing six jeeps for reindeer. It appears they even gave the reindeer antlers using tree branches. The jeep in the foreground, decked out as Rudolph, carried a more animated Santa delivering gifts to children. Of all the versions of Santa’s sleigh we’ve ever seen, this is definitely one of our favorites!
